i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files.  I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them.  when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?

So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can anybody out there help shed some light on why no audio output using varispeed tempo only

    Can anybody out there help shed some light on why no audio output using varispeed tempo only?
    I am using Logic Pro 9 and finding no problems using the tempo and pitch option but when I just want to vari the tempo only I loose all output.
    This includes no audio meter activity on channells.

    Another worthwhile time/pitch related product is from Prosoniq. The version of Nuendo (not the latest) the University uses ships with the MPEX algorithm, which is related to to their flagship product.

    I've used it a bit to create the double-time/+1 octave  Les Paul & Mary Ford guitar sound for a class demo demo and thought it did a very good job.
    Yes, there is a Demo.

  • Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

    I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them.  Has anyone had a similar problem….thanks

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

    I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and will not go any further.  What can I do?  I am using a pc.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

    I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • How can I return my PDF doc back into word doc when Acrobat will not read the files.

    I changed one doc into a PDF and now all my doc have changed to PDF. I need to have all my word doc back but the Adobe said it can not read the formate.

    Hi Jewelhbowie1,
    What was your workflow to change the word doc to PDF format.
    The Acrobat application/Service does not change the original document it makes copy of that document and converts to another format you choose.
    Please share your steps that you choose to convert the word doc to pdfs.
    Regards,

  • ITunes would not let me download music properly to my iPhone 4S, can someone shed some light on how I can fix it?

    I recently aquired an iPhone 4S, perfectly fine, around 2 months old. everything is working fine, and all apps and music are downloaded on to iTunes and WERE origionally on the iPhone. I started to then add more songs from iTunes, though the phone started refusing to download them and then the majority of my collection were then deleted. I did origionally think that this was simply because it could not find the location of all the music files, though upon searching i found that iTunes could indeed fine every single file, and that they all played perfectly well in iTunes. I did reset the phone and try simply re-installing the exact same storage pre-reset, though it simply made all of the songs like that. The iPhone (4S, 32GB, 4 month old) did have around 900 songs on it, all playing fine, though recently the number on iTunes is around 1240, though I don't want all the songs on.
    It is not that I am incapable of understanding the software of iTunes or of the iPhone, and I have had previous Apple products and also had interaction with various models (iPhone 5/5C/5S) and Android, so it this is where it stumps me on what the actual problem is.
    I have tried doing things like:
    Reseting the phone
    Making an individual playlist with all of the songs that I want on my phone
    Downloading Albums/Artists/songs/playlists individually (as to rule out if it is a specific artist/song/so on
    Downloading everything and then trying to get iTunes to download the actual song directly
    When updating/syncing my options on the Music tap on iTunes when the iPhone is plugged in, it registers on iTunes that the every song that I have ticked to be included in the sync has been synced, though upon checking my iPhone on the music app, the majority of the music will either have failed to sync or not be there, or be registered but unplayable (the title of the song is slightly transparent/grey). Then upon inspection of the [Settings>General>About>Songs], the count does not equate to that which is stated on iTunes.
    Any help will be appreciated as soon as possible, as my iPhone is used for music a significant amount of the time and the loss of around 700 songs off of my phone is quite significant.
    Bearing in mind that I am only 16 years old and have no actual IT knowledge in-depth of what is actually occuring other ethan what the consumers can see through such things as the settings and the location of files and their formats, I would be appreciative if any explanation wouldn't end up being too confusing, nor it being patronising (for instance, my ignorance of how to download music to iTunes)
    Thanks, atsdkg

    I have help for you!!!
    I had EXACTLY the same issue recently. What I had to do on my PC was go into the My computer section> click on my C drive> click on users> click on my username> go into music and then iTunes> Here you should see something that says iTunes Library. Make sure that iTunes is Closed and then take the iTune library and drag it onto Your desktop. This will create a copy on the desktop but iTunes will not see it. Reopen iTunes and you should see an option to scan for media. Once you do this iTunes should re-build your iTunes library and It should be able to sync. If it syncs fine and all your content is available go to the iTunes library that you dragged to the desktop and delete it as you should not have a new one. If this does not work absolutley do NOT delete the iTunes library that is on the desktop.
    Call Apple and let them know of the steps you have taken and request some help. This should fix it though!

  • Can someone shed some light on my HDMI woes?

    Hello all,
    I'm running a brand new MacBook Pro Retina 15" with OS X 10.9.4.
    I went ahead and bought an HDMI to VGA adapter from Amazon (cheap, Chinese model. No branding.) and when I connected it to the HDMI port on my MBP I got... nothing.  Absolutely nothing.
    Now, before you start shouting at me "you should get a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to VGA/DVI/HDMI/Whatever adapter," I already own that.  I have a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter and I have a MDP to HDMI/DisplayPort/DVI (all-in-one) adapter.  That's not the point.  The point is I wanted to, without a bulky adapter, go directly from my MacBook along a sleek, thin cable (bought an active "RedMere" cable) straight to an older VGA flatscreen monitor.  The cheap HDMI-VGA adapter I got from Amazon is about the size of a USB dongle and doesn't look unsightly in this type of configuration.
    So, before I gave up, I did some tests.  I grabbed my old laptop (HP running Ubuntu) and plugged it all in.  It worked!  Almost instantly.  That made me wonder.  I grabbed the MDP all-in-one adapter I was telling you about and plugged it into my MacBook, plugged in the HDMI cable and... it worked!  But that recreates the same problem as before.  Now I have a big, bulky adapter hanging off the side of my laptop.
    What can I infer from this?  I also read other forum posts about other HDMI-VGA adapters and I found someone mention that the Cable Matters active adapter, with USB power, works with a MacBook Pro.  I think it's a power issue!  So that leaves me wondering: Why did Apple decide not to send power over the HDMI port?
    My friend and I tried to use his MacBook Pro with an HDMI-over-ethernet extender (we had a LONG run to a projector) and we experienced problems, but once again my old HP had none.  Why is the HDMI so weak in the MacBook Pro compared to ANY OTHER LAPTOP ON THE MARKET?
    These are my questions.

    Hey man, good to see you here, yes you are right "The" problem is now in the hands of Apple's engineering dept and we have been back and forth communicating about details.
    I just thought I started this one asking specifically about this rom version to see if anyone had any knowledge of this particular one since I can't find any reference to it on the apple site.
    Thanks.

  • Can someone shed some light on boot rom "MP21.007F.B08"?

    Looking for general knowledge on this version, it seems out of place and I am currently experiencing issues with my MacPro (April 2007 Dual Quads) where the stepping is different on the CPU's rendering 64 bit Virtualization unusable.
    A search on Apple's site renders no results. According to apple my version should be: MP21.007F.B06
    I appear to have one physical CPU that implements VT VMCS revision 7 and another one that implements VT VMCS revision 11. These processors are not compatible for VT execution. One CPU is family 6 model 15 stepping 7 and the other is family 6 model 15 stepping 11. Intel has released a microcode patch that addresses this issue for processors that differ only in the stepping. (Apparently according to some comments I found online "rummor only" apple addressed this with EFI 1.2 but I can't apply)

  • Can someone shed some light in these Console messages?

    Hi, I opened Console and looked under the "All Messages" Header and I found the following 3 repetitive messages:
    4/26/12 4:44:02 PM
    kernel
    NVRM: 0x702a called in D3
    4/26/12 4:44:02 PM
    kernel
    NVRM: 0x702a called in D3
    4/26/12 4:44:02 PM
    kernel
    NVRM: 0x704a called in D3
    What do these mean? It seems that it has to do with the NVRAM, or this is related to video cards?
    Many thanks for your assistance in this issue and my system specs are in this post's footer.

    Do I know about the ACPI sleep modes?  Yes, I do.  Do you really want me to answer that?  Or do you really have some writing project that you need written and edited, or some cool new tool that you need to get coded and debugged, or some great artwork created?  :-)
    The logs are filled with random weird text and sometimes with scary-looking entries and cryptic messages.  And occasionally with real errors.  (You should see the contents of the logs on server systems, and particularly when something actually is wrong.  Then you get to learn more about Unix and the command line, and the various tools and packages, and about troubleshooting.  If you're supporting your own servers, that is.  But I digress.)
    Irrespective of this Console.app questioning, there are some tasks that I'd suggest are far higher priority tasks to investigate and resolve.   If you've not already addressed these tasks, of course.  In particular, ensure that you have current (external) backups, created via an external disk and Time Machine, or via a Time Capsule and Time Machine, or using some add-on archival software of some sort.  
    If your data is particularly valuable, consider creating a periodic copy of your data and store it at another location.
    Having reliable and tested backups has avoided creating sudden increases in some of those vast tracts of grey hair that were mentioned else-thread.  Lacking backups has created grey hair and occasional bald patches for some folks, particularly when those backups were skipped or when the backups had silently failed and the failure went unnoticed, and particularly then when the computer or the disk(s) had failed or the contents on the RAID array had become corrupted, or when the whole computer had been stolen or...  ...When bad things happened to good data.
