I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app.  I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind.  I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.  I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library.  I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it.  Please help!

Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

    i hv a macbook and hv not been able to figure out whr to enter d gateway pathway in the network settings so as to get my internet started on my machine.. help me..

    If you go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and select the Network pane, then select the interface you want to use (probably Wi-Fi or AirPort if you are wireless, or Ethernet if not.) If using a static IP address you can set your router address here. If you are using DHCP, it is not needed, since the computer will pick it up automatically.
    Best of luck.

  • I have tried everything I know so please help   I am trying to get the game progress in my iphone apps to my ipad "3"   every time i sync, i get the apps but not the progress in the games

    Two ways:

  • My m8020n continuously locks up. I have tried everything I know to do. Please help!

    I have added RAM, replaced the CPU fan and heatsink, upgraded to Windows 7 PRO 64bit, reformatted and reinstalled Vista 32 bit and tried a BIOS update (which failed) and still no luck. The PC will boot up and not lock up in safe mode but as soon as it boots normally, it freezes. What could the problem be?

    Hello csbowker, You may have a couple of issues going on here. First, the BIOS can only be upgraded from within Vista.
    Usually when a system will boot into Safe Mode , but not into the normal desktop, the issue would most likely be a driver issue, since when booting into safe mode, the system only loads the needed drivers to get to a Safe Mode desktop screen.
    Here  is the link for the BIOS for your system. If you want to upgrade the BIOS, I would suggest removing the added memory, and reinstall the Vista operating system, flash the BIOS, and then see if you can upgarde to, or perform a fresh install Windows 7.
    You also should be aware that the added memory may not be compatible with your system or the existing system memory if you kept the original memory and added more memory.
    I might suggest going to Crucial, or Kingston memory and run the Memory Configurator and see what memory is supported for your system.
    Even though the memory you added may be the same type and speed of the original system memory, the timings may be different, and cause the lockups as you suggest. This is a very common problem.
    Justs some thoughts.

  • The printer is making everything huge. i have tried everything i know to make the print look normal

    I have an HP LaserJet P1102w with Windows 7.  All of a sudden it is printing everything huge and something that would normally print on one page.....prints on three.  I have checked the settings and nothing seems to work.  Any thoughts? 

    Hi there shevoice,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here to make sure there are no problems with your drivers/etc:

  • I recently updated iphoto 11 and now I can't view my photos in the iphoto library.  Screen is blank,  but photos will show if played as slide show.  What's going on? ? ?

    On Friday, October 28th I updated my iphoto 11 because I received notice from Apple that I should do so for better stability in the program.    Today I opened I photo and found that although all my events show they are present and the number of photos in the library appears correct,  when I click on an event to view the contents, I get a black screen.   I am told there are no photos in the event.   When I return to the iphoto page it again shows all my events with pictures of the photos in the event thumbnails and the number of pictures in each event.    I can not actually view these photos individually.      Now here's the strange part,  when I select an event thumbnail and right click,  I can choose to view the event as a slide show, complete with music and special effects and it will play normally.   But no way can I view the event photos individually.     I have one event that claims to be empty, no photos in it,  yet when I click on that event  all 346 pictures pop up for individual viewing,  but will not play as a slide show.    I am totally confused and want my iphoto put back to normal.  
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    How do I uninstall the update,  or failing that how do I get my photos back? ?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • HT1150 I have an iBook G4.  My epson stylus printer is not fixable so I went to Best Buy and bought an XP400.  It is all set up but I can't get  the printer to communicate with the computer.  Have tried everything I know and it won't work.  Any ideas?

    I have an iBook G4.  My epson stylus printer is not fixable so I went to Best buy and bought an XP 400 (Epson).  When I went to set it up it wouldn't talk to my computer.  So it looks great but won't print   After 2 days and many phone calls I am disgruntled to say the least.  Any  suggestions?

    I would imagine the drivers supplied with the printer will not be compatible with your existing operating system.
    Download the older drivers for your OS here, and then try the install again.

  • How can I cancel RedKareoke.  I have tried everything I know and they still keep taking money out of my account. What can I do.

    How can I cancel RedKareoke?  They give you explicit instructions but they do not work.  They just still keep taking it out of my account.  I have e-mailed them and they said they would delete it but the $7.41 just keeps coming out every month. And I cannot talk to anyone in person.  The bank won't put a stop payment on an ACH item like this.

  • Firefox automatically updated itself yesterday, and has not been able to find any server on the internet since. what do I do?

    well, a reset didn't help. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall, and the reinstall would not complete.
    this afternoon, when I was able to resume, the 800 support number I found on the internet was not able to connect remotely to my computer.
    a reinstall, directly from firefox, did complete this time, but still says "server not found" whenever I tryo to acces the internet in any way

    Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Can't access itunes store.. have tried everything I know... Help Please

    Like others, I have the problem that itunes works but when I try to access the itunes store the status bar will stop half way through the process.  After another 5 seconds or so it just completes with a blank screen.
    Windows 7 Ultra 64 bit (fully updated)
    Itunes 10.5
    Internet Explorer
    The itunes connectivity tests pass.. which I assume mean ports, DNS, adapters, firewalls are all ok.  Valid assumption?
    I can acces secure websites from the browser.
    I've completely uninstalled and then reinstalled all of the apple applications as per apple instructions.
    I've "fixed" the host file as per Microsoft instructions.
    I've run Itunes as an administrator.
    I've now reached the limit of my understanding of what can be done.  Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.
