  • I downloded iphoto 11 9.2 and when opened it for the first time and the program started to update my iPhoto library the file got corrupted. That has happened in the two macs I have (both of them rather new and updated to last Lion version 10.7.2).

    I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?

    In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I took my iMac 2010 to a "Third Party" company to replace my hdd, they did, but now it will not boot. if i took this to the Apple store, how much would it cost to fix? if i buy my own SSD (£70) Thanks a LOT!

    Well, this "third party" is going to put my old hdd back and not charge me any money (as he did not fix it) but i think its better off taking it to an AASP because i have a feeling Apple store will charge way too much.
    The way I read that comment – you seem to suggest the Mac was broken before the third party replaced the disk - is that the case or was it working before the HD was replaced?
    Since the Mac is out of warranty you will have to pay for any repairs wherever you take it. Authorised Apple service centres will be able to get parts whereas any non certified technicians will have to use 'grey market' parts since Apple will not sell parts to the public. These may be reconditioned or not official parts - it's a risk to use them. Visit the Apple store & ask them - there is no point in lying about it being handled by a third party. An Apple tech may be able to tell when they open the case, depending on how meticulous your third party was. 
    If you are handy with a screwdriver & have tools and a lot of patience you could use a guide on iFixit.com, but there is no indication of why this Mac not booting up.
    It could be that the disk is not formatted correctly.
    Are you sure the tech copied an OS onto the disk? Did they install the OS for you or did they clone the old disk?
    Can you boot from a backup disk or from an install disk? Does the disk appear in Disk Utility when booted from another OS (either the installer or a backup).
    'Not booting' can mean so many things, what does booting do exactly? Grey screen, black screen, any noises or tones, any signs of life at all…?
    If you look at the iFixit guides you will see many fiddly connectors, if the tech failed to hook them all back up it could explain the failure, or perhaps you just have a disk that is 'dead on arrival' - sometimes that happens. A properly trained technician should be able to figure that one out.

  • Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

  • Event gets lost when iView is uncompressed for the first time

    Hi All,
    we are developing an application that manages attachments (meaning: files stored in KM) and per request by the client consists of several iViews. One of them contains a search interface, another one lists the hits that have been found. So the iViews have to communicate.
    We achieved the funcionality by using portal eventing and the HTTP session. The search iView compiles the search string and writes it to the session.
    request.getComponentSession().getHttpSession().setAttribute(searchString, .....);
    We then use javascript to fire an event on which the searchResult iView reacts and fetches the searchString from the session. The actual search is then performed within the searchResult-iView.
    The only problem is that the client requested that the searchResult iView should initially be collapsed. So we set its "initial display" property to "collapsed" and implemented some javascript functionality in the search iView that expands the searchResult iView when a search is performed:
    function openIview( iviewID ) {               
      var temp = parent.pageSupport._getIvuPageId(iviewID);
      var ivuBankObj = parent.pageSupport._getIViewBank(temp);
      if (ivuBankObj.getToogle() == 0) {
        var trayid = ivuBankObj.getTrayId();
        var event = document.createEventObject();
        event.type = "click";
        if(parent.htmlb_TrcToggle(trayid,'0',event)) parent.pageSupport.ivuToogle(iviewID);
    We then fire an event:
    EPCM.raiseEvent('...', 'SearchEvent', param, '');
    All works fine, except for the very first time the searchRersult iView is expanded after the application (meaning the page containing the iViews) has been opened. The searchResult iView is properly expanded, but the event seems to get lost so that no search is being performed (no error, but no reaction by the iView).
    We observed that it seems as if the contents of the iView are only fetched by the browser when it's expanded for the first time. (The progress bar of the browser shows loading activity when expanding the iView for the first time). Supposedly the event gets lost because the serachResult iView doesn't fetch it since it's just being loaded.
    After this initial erroneous behavior, the iView can be in compressed or expanded state before a search is being performed and everything works fine.
    Interestingly enough the problem can be resolved by setting a timeout of several seconds after expanding the iView and before firing the search event. But we find this to be a very questionable (and inconvenient) method of solving this problem and would rather like to solve it properly.
    Does anyone have any ideas how we could achieve this? Is there a way to determine whether an iView has been loaded by the browser (because obviously displaying and loading an iView seem to be two different things)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jens

    We introduced a boolean "isInitial" flag to the bean which we use to determine whether the iView is expanded for the first time or not. If so, there is a timeout of 2 seconds before the event is fired.
    Not really satisfactory, but working.

  • I updated to version 5.1 but now IBooks will not open.  How do I fix ?

    I updated my IPad to version 5.1 and now IBooks will not open.  How do I fix the problem

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe.

  • Opening application for the first time warning keeps coming

    I've installed VLC player and amongst other media files set mp4 to automatically open with it. When I double click a mp4 file it asked 'You are opening the application 'VLC Player' for the first time' etc. Pressed ok. After that it didn't ask that any more.
    However, every time I reboot my Mac and double click a mp4 file again, I keep getting that 'You are opening the application 'VLC Player' for the first time' warning popup again the first time I want to open a media file. Then it's gone again, until I reboot my Mac again.
    Every time I reboot and want to play a media file I always get that 'first time' popup. It only happens with VLC Player. I've uninstalled it completely and reinstalled it again, but that 'first time' popup for VLC Player keeps coming every time I reboot and upon the first time I open a media file.
    How can I fix that?

    Did you copy VLC to Applications folder? When you download VLC, you get it in a DMG file, that you have to open, and here's VLC. However, you don't have to copy the VLC copy you find in it, but you have to drag the VLC icon to the Applications icon:
    Then, drag the VLC DMG file you find in the Desktop, drag it to Trash and delete the VLC installer from Downloads folder. Finally, open VLC from Applications folder

  • Error message on iphone 3GS when initiating back-up for the first time "icloud backup failed - how to fix

    When initiating back-up of my 3GS to icloud for the first time, I repeatedly receive an error message reading:
    "iCloud backup failed
    There was a problem enabling iCloud backup"
    I cannot find a solution to this problem amd no amount of checking and rechecking account settings etc. has made any difference. Does anyone have experience of how to overcome this issue. The iCloud back-up initiated on my iPad without any problem so I do not think the problem is account related.
    Thanks.

    Same problem here...
    I just upgraded my 3GS to iOS5 and signed into iCloud using my Apple ID...
    Every time I click "Back Up Now" in the iCloud preferences on the iPhone, I get "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later."
    On my wife's iPhone 4, I just performed a back up and there were no errors.  I tried this also on my wife's iPad 2 and it worked perfectly.
    I have tried the following:
    1. In iTunes, when my phone is connected, I selected "Back up to iCloud" on the summary tab
    2. Reset my phone using the steps in the above post
    3. Deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and logged in again
    4. Tried to backup from 3 different wireless networks
    None of the steps above fixed the issue which has been going on all day for me...
    Any other help would be great - thanks!

  • Misspelled email address when login to iPhone for the first time

    Hello everyone,
    I have quite a big issue with my iPhone (I have iPhone 5c).
    When I was creating my apple id for iPhone for the first time (after I purchased it)  I added an unexisting email address by accident (I never had or used that email as a domain I misspelled does not even exist...).
    Now I cannot access my phone at all (I needed to change a SIM card) and when I turned my phone back on, it showed that my phone was assigned for a particular apple id that is impossible to use - as an email (which is also an apple id in that case) and its domain,do not exist ...(it was even impossible to verify password after I accessed iPhone for the first time).
    I did not realized I cannot switch it to the other id to unlock my phone...as to change main apple id I would have to do it through the old one and this is - as I stated above - not possible at all ...
    using iCloud is also impossible for an above reason (cannot log in as I couldn't verify my password for main apple id).
    I have an additional apple id I use for an AppStore (that's how I managed to log in here)
    Does anyone have any idea/advise what are my options now?
    I am unable to use my phone at all because of that
    Thanks in advance!

    If you turned on Find My iPhone turn it off, then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents & Settings.
