Upgrade iPhoto:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Since updating the software on my iPhone 3gs it has developed the so called "white screen of death". The phone has not been dropped or damaged in anyway, the problem only developed after software upgrade. Rung apple and they were less than helpful

since updating my iphone 3gs software it has developed the so called "white screen of death" this happened immediately after software install. It has never been dropped or damaged. I have tried the solution which seems to pop up most of holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds but this hasnt helped at all. Tried ringing apple, who were less than helpful and disinterested as the phone is out of warranty. I am hoping there is a solution which doesnt mean shelling out for a new phone! any ideas?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

If you have not done a factory reset on the device, I recommend doing a complete factory reset.
Factory Reset - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
This method will not erase any MDN/MIN information
Turn off the phone
Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen
Display will show:
Reboot system Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Use VOL Down key to scroll down to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", press home icon to select option and wipe device.
Display shows "All user data will be wiped out", press VOLUME Up to continue or VOLUME Down to exit.
Press Volume Up
Press Home to select "Reset System Now" - device will reboot
If the problem persist I recommend having a store technician take a look at the device.

iTunes states " There's a problem with your Iphone, please contact apple service center " Also i took my iphone to a local service man and he told me the IMEI code has been corrupted and there's nothing that can be done about it. Please help, if you have any solution.
Thank you

Why do you want to reinstall the OS on a new Mac? That should not be necessary. If you tell us what's wrong that is making you want to do that, we can better advise you.
As to reinstalling the OS, on a Mac with Lion (Mac OS X 10.7.x), you need to either have an internet connection capable of downloading several GB of data or you need to buy the Lion flash drive from the Apple Store.
To save an installer for future re-use, you could try this:

Presuming you are using a wall charger - it would seem that your battery needs to be looked at in an Apple store

Trying to reinstall Mavericks but keep getting an error message

I'm having some problems with my MacBook Pro so I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks.
I hold command+R at startup and get to the OS X Utilities.
I click "Reinstall OS X." I already tested it and I AM connected to the internet.
I click "continue" when it says it needs to verify the eligibility of my computer with Apple (it's definitely eligible).
An error message pops up. It says "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.
It's plugged in, I've tried restarting, I've checked the internet connection and it's working fine.
Any idea how to get this to work?

If possible, set the system clock as instructed here. If you can only start up in Recovery mode, see below.
Select Get Help Online. Safari will launch. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your bookmarks, but you won't need them. Load this web page.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
date 0801000014
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. Paste into the window by pressing the key combination command-V.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. If it doesn't appear, press return.
Quit Terminal to return to the main screen. Try the installation again.

How do you solve the so called "Black Screen Of Death " On an iMac Intel 27" EMC 2309 and 2374

According to various forums I've visited , this is very common issue that Apple has not addressed. I've read that it could be a logic board issue on the graphics card or a LED driver board issue or even a temp problem. My friend just got this issue resolved on her MacBook Pro but it cost her $500 to have it taken care of. This problem is making Apple look very bad in the eyes of it's customer's. I won't post some of the negative comments I've come across on these forums as a result of consumer frustration with Apple not taking care of this. Let's just say it needs to be addressed. Oh and the " Black Screen Of Death " is what people are calling it, not sure of the official problem name but it's an intermittent tendency of the display to go completely black while the OS is running fine.

Deleting Backups For More Space, or Starting Over?

Hi Folks,
I have a 1TB FW external connected to my MacHDD 1TB on my iMac 27. My current backups go back to June 2010, and my TM now getting full.
Can I just go in to the backups folder and delete June 2010-Oct 2010 to free up some space on my TM or would it be better to just Erase and start new?
My 1TB MacHDD has about 400G free space and my TM now has only about 149G free.
I'd like to keep at least about 6 months of data backed up, but probably don't need most of it anymore.
Thanks for any comments/suggestions.

Are you aware that TM will remove old backups automatically to make space for new ones? See the following:
About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.
Now, once TM does announce the disk is full you can install a larger drive, erase the drive and start over, or use the TM application to selectively remove backups you no longer need to maintain.
Do not use the Finder to delete backups from the TM backup drive. The proper way to remove backups is to use the TM application. In this way all the indices will be properly adjusted to reflect changes. Were you to use the Finder then TM would need to rebuild all the indices which could take hours or days depending on how much data are on the drive.

I tried to update my ipad3..now I have the dreaded red bleeping screen of death... it is literaly bleeping on and off. I can't turn the ipad off and I can't do anything else either. Any thoughts?

it is literaly bleeping on and off. I can't turn the ipad off and I can't do anything else either. Any thoughts?
I plugged it into my laptop and it still doesn't do anything but blip red.
I knew I should have waited to up date it until I got back. everytime i try to update one of my ipads, something goes wrong.....
I really need my ipad back as I am going on a trip tomorrow morning and need my gps map on there.

I held down the sleep and home key to shut down the ipad.... it's restarting...hopefully this will work!

My icloud has a different email and it wants me to sign in to my account but i don't have an account with that address how do I get icloud to take the right address

My Icloud keeps asking me for my apple ID password my problem is that the user name icloud has on the request isn't my apple ID name its another email address that i have
I need to figure out how to change the ID name on the icloud so I can enter my corect password

Your iCloud account is tied to your Apple ID account - if you go into System Preferences>iCloud>Account Details, you'll see the associated email address. If you need to change your iCloud prefs, change your Apple ID - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
Good luck,

I erased my disk and tried to reinstall Mavericks but "installation information" not available?

I decided to erase the disk on Macbook Pro late 2011 model and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks. When I tried to restore the software I get an error message that says something like "installation information for this machine is not available - call AppleCare". Any suggestions? Thanks.
