I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library. I have been unable to delete them. How can I delete them from the iMovie library without deleting them fro iPhoto?

Did you import them into an Event Folder? Or are they still just showin up under the iPhoto Videos folder? Anything inside of the iPhoto Videos folder cannot be deleted, because it is under the full control and jurisdiction of iPhoto and is merely 'shared' from iPhoto and made visible to iMovie. Everything else can first be deleted, then moved to the Trash. To find the items that have been marked for deletion under iMovie '11 go to the pull-down tab at the bottom of the iMovie window frame labeled Show: and choose 'Rejected Only'. Then when you see all the clips with red stripes on them Select All (⌘ Command key + a). Then click on the button labeled Move rejected to Trash.

Not sure if this will work, but you could try the app My Contacts Backup. This will back up your contacts as an email attachement. Send the email to yourself. Then turn off contacts syncing (to erase the contacts from your phone), open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts to your phone. You will still have to go through them and remove the duplicates but at least they should not be duplicated again. (There is an app called
Remove Duplicate Contacts and Events that claims to be able to find and remove duplicates but you'll have to read the reviews in the app store to decide if you want to try it.)

How do i change cover photo in iPhoto when creating a book. I have tried everything

how do I change cover photo in iPhoto when creating a book? I have tried everything. Mirage 388

I have just finished one and changed the cover photo the same way I did on any page. Bring up the page, right click on it and then click on Remove Photo. Then just drag the photo you want into the empty space. You have to have the phot sidebar up on the right side to do this. Hope this helps

My IPhoto Library is unreadable Tried everything recommended even deleted IPhoto and I still get the error message

Hi
I keep getting the error message (photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable ) I've tried everything that has been suggested, I've even deleted Iphoto and reinstalled it ,but this doesn't work, I even reinstalled Lion, without success. I've checked for virus s and that is ok. Any ideas as to what the problem is and how can I solve it.
Regards
Richard

Try this solution:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original libraruy will not be affected. It will still exist in case you want to try other fixes on it.

Today I Reset All of the settings on my iPhone 3G. Now I cannot get it to do anything and all I get is the iTunes connect screen. I have tried EVERYTHING!!! What am I supposed to do now?

Just like the subject line says, I reset my iPhone 3g which I just bought from a friend for $50. The device worked just fine and then I performed a complete reset on the phone. The one that says it may take up to two hours... Well I left and came back about 8 hours later. I pressed the Home button to view the screen and I now see that my phone is "locked" and I can only make emergency calls. There was no cell service before but I was still able to browse the phone and use it's features.
Now I can do nothing with the phone, I have tried to force it into recovery, I have performed both the soft and hard resets and I am at a loss. I have always been against anything Apple as an IT Professional and now this reaffirms why. My EVO from HTC (Linux based) has never had one single problem and I have rooted it, flashed a new ROM and flashed a new Kernel.
The iPhone was not even Jailbroken or unlocked. And to make it all worse, the only language that it displays is Spanish?!?! ***???
Why didn't the iPhone tell me that it was going to ruin my device and change the default language to Spanish instead of simply stating it would take two hours?
I have worked on this phone all night, now I'm out of $50 and was going to sell this on eBay for an easy $250.00. What the heck is wrong with this POS? And why won't Apple offer any support without having to pay them? If I pay them for support and then they can't get it to work then what? I'm screwed their too?
There is nothing left to do but smash this thing, I wish I would have never bought it, and I even wasted $20 on a new home/car charger for it. I'm so mad I can't hardly stand it. This is why I ONLY use ANDROID based devices and I recommend that you ALL do the same!
But, if anyone can provide any insight into this issue it would be much appreciated. It's just not fair that it sits with this stupid "connect me to iTunes screen" yet does nothing. AHHHHHHHHHH!
Please HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!
By the way, I have tried ths on my Windows 7 PC and my XP laptop. Same result. iTunes and the computer will NOT recognize the device in any way no matter what mode I start the phone in. It just refuses to work.

- Try here:

- If not success and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain and then try again.
- Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How do I delete a edited album from my iphoto? There is only one photo in that album and I have tried everything. I deleted it from my ipad album.

How do I delete an edited iphoto album from iphoto? It is driving me batty...it should not be this difficult. I am beginning to think it's not possible....I hope not...I would hate to think this will happen every time I edit an album.

Hi turintest2
Thanks for taking the time to respond - however your reply didn't really help as you haven't explained how to delete the compilation album that had been created.
I managed to sort it out by doing the following (I'm posting this so that it may help others). I don't know if this is the simplest/most elegant solution - but it works.
In iTunes, find the compilation (in my case, the 153 songs) and, starting with the first song, follow this procedure:
On the iPhone go to 'Songs' and scroll down the list until you find the first song that was listed in iTunes (above). You should notice (as in my case) that the song will have the correct title (and artwork too if you'd found this previously before making the compliation) but the wring artist.
Swipe LEFT and press the 'Delete' button.
Repeat with second song in iTunes list, deleting the individual songs from the iPhone, one by one.
Although tedious, this seemed to work for me. Reason for doing down the iTunes list is that it is in a pseudo-alphabetical order and I wanted to make sure I'd got every one.
Now busy re-importing the original albums from CD.
Thank you APPLE for making this such a laborious process. Why can't designers actually TEST the products they design so that they can appreciate first-hand the likely problems?
Anyhow, thanks turintest2 for trying to help me - it was appreciated.

My youtube videoes won't load. I have tried everything

Hi,
Recently when I click on a YouTube video, an error message shows on the screen saying: "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn more" with a black background. I am pretty sure all of you guys have experienced it at least once. However, this phenomenon occurs every time I click a video. I cleared my cookies, updated my Adobe flash player, enabled java script, and updated Firefox. But these did not solve my problems. Help me out please!

Hi junlee_23,
There are two work arounds that I know of. It is possible to disable hardware acceleration in Flash as well as disable flash player and try the HTML5 player.
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
In order to disable the player you can go to add ons and click on plugins. There you can set "Always Activate" to "Always Ask"
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

My iPhoto app says unable to open. I have 10.7.4 OS and the iPhoto version is 9.2.3 I have tried updating and reinstalling app but I still get the same message

I updated everything and triedn reinstalling the iphoto app and I still get the message "iphoto can not open due to a problem". The message says that there may be compatiblilty issues with OS and Iphoto. I updated everything like it suggested and still doesn't work. Any suggestions? I'm making an appointment at Apple store to see if they can fix the issue....I was hoping to do it on my own....

Did you delete the receipts before re-installing?

All my icons are missing in YahooMail. I have tried everything written here, Delete cache, let web site choose own fonts. Works in Chrome.

I have read every post here regarding this problem. I now have to use chrome to use my Yahoo mail. This problem i have on my note book too.
Tell me how install FF version before 24.
I see i am not the only one with this issue.
Also I now use 25 and still no good, my font size is so small and I cannot re size it.

Those icons are a special font that is downloaded from the Yahoo server.
I assume that you see little boxes with the hex code instead?
If that is the case then you are somehow blocking downloading and applying this font.
Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

If a new profile still has this issue then your security software might be blocking this font.

I cannot import my address book from outlook express to my I pad, have tried the I tunes route but it still has not appeared. My address book from my mobile has appeared though.

New I pad

You have the Windows Contacts address book selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?
If so, any error message provided when syncing?
The only way your address book from your mobile appeared is if you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account on your mobile that supports this and accessing the email account on your iPad.

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...
I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.
I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

How to move Projects and Events with iPhoto video included in iMovie '11?

I work with a group of educators using iPads for video. One method for getting their clips into iMovie '11 is via iPhoto and then using the iPhoto Video link in iMovie to get the footage on a timeline (trying to import directly into iMovie '11, using the iPad as a "camera", has proved inconsistent, especially with footage from iStopMotion or Filmic Pro 1 and 2).
The problem is, when it comes time to copy or move an event and project, the iPhoto clips don't come along; they are dependent on the iPhoto library, so you can't continue editing on a different machine. I tried File > Consolidate Media, but it was inactive (in my test project, all clips came from iPhoto). If I look at Reveal in Browser, it goes to the bowels of the iPhoto library. If I copy the project to another drive, it too, points to the iPhoto library (if I'm on the same machine; otherwise it doesn't see it). I also tried optimizing the footage in the hope that it would create an Event with optimized clips that I could then transfer.
Am I missing something? It seems nuts that you can't transfer work to another machine without manually picking through the bowels of iPhoto. These days, lots of shooting is done on iPads and iPhones. Any help would be appreciated.

My suggestion would be that in the future, they upload photos only to iphoto, and upload video clips directly to iMovie. In the early days of iOS, going through iPhoto was the only way, so it is a habit that I have had to break.
With iOS 5 and 6, iMovie now recognizes the iPhone and the iPad as cameras.
I agree that the Consolidate Media command should bring over iPHoto movies along with the photos. I suggest that you go to iMovie/Provide Feedback and let the developers know that you would like this feature.

I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library. I have tried everything possible to delete them. I still want to keep them in iPhoto however. What can I do?
