I'm having problems opening iPhoto, just this morning (was fine last night)..

.... it asks 'What photo library do you want to use?' and asks me to select from a list but provides no options, though previously it automatically opened and showed all my events/pics... any advice very gratefully received please!

Thanks Terence. A very basic f/ip question I'm afraid as I'm new to the Mac; could you talk me through how to find/restore from my backup?
Nothing in pictures which makes me think I must have accidentally deleted it - so I'm hoping a restore from backup could be the key to recovering it.

This morning, Microsoft Entourage will not open about powerpc application.. it was fin last night

Hi, I've never had a problem with Entourage until this morning when i powered up.. receiving "you can't open the application microsoft entourage because powerpc applications are no longer supported"

If you're still running Entourage, I would suggest upgrading to Outlook, part of Office for Mac 2011. Even if you're able to run Entourage, and it sounds as if you were, it's just not Lion or Mountain Lion friendly.
Just my 2¢...

HT2178 I do not have sound on my computer. It was fine last night but when my husband turned it on this morning, there was now sound. Also My iPhoto shuts down when I try to run a slide show. I have just had my computer for 2 1/2 weeks.

I had sound on my computer last night but when turning on this morning there was no sound. It is not muted. Any suggestions. Also, when I try to run an event in IPhoto as a slide show, it shuts down.

Just to clarify, does iPhoto unexpectedly quit or does your computer shut down? For the sound problem, try here:

When I touch the sift key a noise is made and sometimes it will capitalize my letter and sometimes it will capitalize all the letters. This just started happening this morning after upgrading last night.

When I try to use the sift key to capitalize a letter if makes a sift type noise. If I hold it down too long it makes the sift noise 3 times and then it doesn't capitalize but leaves the letter in lower form, ex: i instead of I. This just started this morning after downloading mountain lion last night. I had snow leopard previously. How do I turn this off?

Take your MBP to your local AS or AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE! However, the repairs will be your responsibility as Apple warranty does not cover accidental damage. If you do decide to get your MBP repaired, send the bill to your ex-boyfriend.
My mom thinks that it's my fault somehow because it got kicked off my bed a long time ago, but other then that I haven't done anything to it.
Mom is always right!

Why is Time Warner Cable webmail now a gray triangle unsecure site? It was fine last night; just happened this morning. TWC was no help.

Getting gray triangle warning on webmail.maine.rr.com; other sites I use are secure. Is this a Mozilla issue or TWC?

By the way, the gray ! triangle indicates that although the main page was loaded over a secure connection, some content in the page, typically an image, was loaded over a regular connection.
Do you notice any unusual content in the page? Sometimes a bad add-on will insert extra ads into a page and can trigger the mixed content warning. To investigate a possible bad add-on, here is the process I suggest:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

One row of keys has stopped working. System was fine last night, sent it to sleep as usual. When I woke it up this morning, the keys were dead. I made no changes to the system at all recently (new installs, font changes, etc.).

The keys that no longer work are on the lower row, from Z~/ (plus the left-most Command key and the space bar on the bottom row). System is iMac (Intel), about five years old, running 10.5.8 (happily), with a wired keyboard (with number pad).
Solutions tried (all without fixing the problem):
- change to another keyboard
- change keyboard(s) to another USB port
- reset SMC (twice)
- reset PRAM (twice)
- switch to another User Account
Kind of running out of ideas ... Anybody have any suggestions?

Other things tried:
- checked all the options in Universal Access, to make sure none of the 'Sticky Keys' etc. were activated
- booted from the Install disc ... still no go. Even then, the same keys don't work.
Looks very much like a major hardware fault, I guess ...

Where is your Library stored?

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

I am having problems opening some PDF docs on my Mac Book Pro?

I am having problems opening PDF documents, I have already checked and I do not have my pop up blocker on, Is there an app that I need to get? I just bought my MacBook Pro and love it but need to get it set up and this is on of the things I am having a problem with. Any advice?
Thanks Kimberly

Is this a problem opening pdf documents in a Safari browser window? If so, you'll need to download Adobe Reader. It will install the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in". For opening pdf files off-line, I also recommend Reader - Preview will choke on forms sometimes.

Loaded 2.1 on my 2G iPhone having problem opening applications

Just loaded 2.1 on my 2G iPhone. Having problems opening apps like Facebook, and games like Texas holdem. Did not have issues when I had 2.0. Is it the 2.1 download thats causing the problem or is it my 2G phone. Any know the answer to this.

can you describe what you mean by "problem opening apps"? is it trying to load, then goes back to home screen?
if so, have you reset the phone after the update?

I am having trouble opening iphoto as it keeps showing the loading sign. I am using os x 10.6.8 and my iphoto version is 9.2.3. Please help

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
Regards
TD
