When I try to drag and drop to combine events in iPhoto, the drag accelerates out of control when it reaches the top or bottom of the screen. How can I slow it down?
from iphoto Help
Album overview
A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
You can create photo albums to:
Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
Gather a decade of anniversary photos
iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

i have moved my sdcard over to my samsung brightside phone,. but the videos can not be read. Is there anyone out there whom may have experienced the same issue? I also tried transferring my files over to my pc first, then reformatted the sdcard, then transferred to the appropriate files back onto the sdcard and put back into samsung.
Thanks for the info SuzyQ. lorsa, the community is correct, pictures and videos can be saved differently on other phones. What phone did you remove the SIM card from? Where did you purchase your SIM card from? Your previous phones SD card and format may not be compatible with your Brightside device. I show you advise that you reformated your memory card but make sure the files are saved correctly. Listed below are the different type of files you can save, receive, and view for pics and videos with your device.
Files that are compatible with the Brightside device:
JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe)
BMP (*.bmp)
PNG (*.png)
GIF (*.gif)
3G2 (*.3g2)
3GP (*.3gp)
MPEG4 (*.mpg)
Please let me know if the information above helped with your issue. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Make sure you always power cycle periodically. You may also need to peform a hard rest for your phone.

hello my Mac Air is frozen on the grey screen (with the apple symbol, sleeping mode, restart-and off button), once you turn it on. I Can`t press any button.My Mouse still works. Battery is charged. Alt-cmd-escape doesn`t work It even after a forced shutting off, the problem is the same. what should i do? Thank you for your help.
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. The battery is distinct from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. -
Help. My pointer is out of control. It hardly responds to the trackpad. Instead it jumps around the screen on its own, opening windoes and app at random.
At wits end. Any advice?Try a PRAM reset, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US and if that does not help take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics.

Recently my iMac screen has started to flickering does anyone know the problem?
Any help appreciatedBad power, unshielded speakers, improper hardware installs which lead to loose cables, can all cause this.

White screen at startup, won't go on when exiting form sleep mode
hey,
Since a few months I have a game, it's called FlightGear, and it's a free game. But then I started having problems with my mac. Sometimes when I've played FG, and put my mac into sleep mode, and waked it up, is showed my desktop, could move my mouse, everything worked, but I cant open anything. And I hear a sound form inside my Mac. And when I turn my Mac off and put it back on, it only shows a white screen with the same sound. I've done checks to see if my disk was OK, and everything was fine. But this just keeps getting worse!Two different problems. The black screen when the computer runs fine usually means that the FL inverter or the LCD screen is defective and needs to be replaced.
Not going to Sleep when the lid is closed is a setting under the Advanced settings in the Power Options you'll find in the Control Panel. With the Advanced Power Options, you can set the actions of closing the lid when using AC or battery power.
In my case, when the computer is attached to the power cord, it is also connected to a large screen monitor. In that case, I want the computer to do nothing when the lid is closed. But if I am running the computer on battery power, the LCD screen is my main screen and I do want the computer to go to sleep when I close the lid. This will save me power if I am on a plane, at a coffee shop or at a friend's. -
IMac 27 5k (late 2014) fan runs low speed nonstop during sleep mode
Hi,
New to the Mac community. Had the iMac 27 5K for about a month now. I've noticed the fan in the back of the monitor runs on low the entire time it's in Sleep Mode. I need to put my ear up to the vent to hear the fan running but can definitely feel air blowing out of it even after it's been sleeping for a few hours. It runs on low throughout the night. The fan stops completely only when it's shut down. Since this is my first iMac, not sure if this is normal or not? Can anyone confirm or have the same occurrence? Thanks for your input.UPDATE:
For anyone with the same issue with this model of iMac; the fan running on low when it's in sleep mode is NOT NORMAL. I eventually brought the computer into an Apple store. They ran diagnostics and nothing. This model being so new has not had many logged issues in their database. They were going to reinstall the OS but after I reiterated that the fan runs all throughout the night while in sleep mode they decided to exchange it for another new computer. As an aside I noticed a large spike in my electricity bill in the month I've had the iMac hence noticing the fan ran all the time while in sleep mode. Otherwise, I wouldn't have look into it as an issue. I'm pleased to say that with the new computer, when I put it into sleep mode, the fan stops. Hope this helps others who run into this problem. -
How to find out which app is stopping my MBP going in sleep mode?
Hi, I would like to find out the reason why my MBP does not go automatically in sleep mode.
Could you help me?
ThanksI read the article, have done most of the suggested actions, but my mac still doesnt go in sleep if I let it open after the set time go over (1 min). The same problem I have if I switch to save mode. What now?

TS3402 iMac with OS X 10.8.4 will not stay in sleep mode.
After installing latest OS updates, 10.8.4, we cannot get our iMac to stay in sleep mode. Energy saving settings have computer sleep and display sleep set to15 minutes, put hard disks to sleep when possible and allow power button to put to sleep are selected. Wake for network is not selected. Also allow bluetooth devices to wake computer is not selected. We are using Time Machine using a USB connected seagate disk, USB connected keyboard and bluetooth mouse. Sleep mode worked before applying latest OS update to 10.8.4 level, which was the only recent change. Now, if put to sleep, monitor goes black for a few seconds then back on. Appears that something that I haven't identified wakes it up.
The solution was found in another post. The suggestion made by marks33 says:
My computer would not stay in sleep mode either since update Mac OS 10.8.4 and I tried resetting the SMC.
Resetting SMC:
Shut down the computer
Unplug the power cord and ALL peripherals (mouse, keyboard + ethernet cable also)
Wait 20 seconds
Attach power cable and wait another 10 seconds
Press power button
Attach all other cables after desktop appears.
Try it if you haven't already. It cured the sleep issue on my iMac. -
Clicking sound that the iMac hard drive makes every 10 minutes or so when in Sleep Mode.
My iMac is 2 years old. I have noticed that when I put it to sleep, the hard drive makes a
clicking noise every 5-10 minutes. I had my Lacie hard drive set up for Time Machine, but
the iMac also seemed to be making the Lacie whir every so many minutes, too. I have since
temporariily shut off my Lacie, but the clicking sound persists. It also seems to me that at
times the hard drive also is trying to "run" or activate momentarily.
I never hear the clicking noise when I am using my iMac.
I read many posts about other iMac owners having a similar problem. One "suggestion" was that
the iMac is not really in sleep mode. I don't understand that since I use the Sleep prompt under
the Apple O.S. Icon. I read somewhere else that the clicking is the cooling of metal, or something
like that. That seems a "reach" to me.
Any suggestions (or directing me to a thread that specifically addresses this issue) would be
much appreciated.
In any case, if I need to call Apple Tech (I have 1 year left on my warranty coverage), I would like
to know if they have probably encountered this problem. Also, what would be a good way to explain
the issue, if you can advise me on that.
Thanks!I have since called Apple Support about the problem. They did not solve it, but did offer to call back. I was unable to be home for the call back. I will call them again, but they did not seem to be aware of any "clicking" problems the iMacs were having.
I timed the clicking noises while the iMac was in Sleep mode; it is every 2 minutes almost consistently. (Not the 5-10 I mentioned in my first post.) Also, it then has a slight "whirring" sound after the "click" or "ping" as if it is trying to process something.
My iMac does not make the clicking/pinging noise while not in Sleep mode.
I have searched the Net and these forums repeatedly trying to find someone who has had a similar "clicking" sound. One fellow suggested his hard drive clicked in Sleep mode because it was looking for a printer. That is not the problem I am having, since all printer jobs have been completed.
If any of you could help me on this or direct me to a thread that addresses the issue, I would appreciate it immensely.
Thanks. -
My iMac has begun to act suggishly and unpredictably lately. It takes unusually long for it to wake from sleep mode and often opens with a particular app (PSE) for no reason. What is going on? Is there a clean-up procedure(s) in addition to clearing history & cookies or perhaps a upgrade I missed?

Tx2 1020us touch screen out of control
My tx2 touch screen is acting like someone is randomly tapping the screen but no one is touching it. I tried uninstalling everything under "digitizers" in the Device Manager. When they were uninstalled, the computer worked fine as a nontouch screen device, but when I rebooted and let it reinstall the N-Trig_Digitizer driver--it didn't reinstall the two "digitizer" items that had been there--the ghost tapping started up again.
Anyone have any ideas on whether there's a driver/settings/software fix for this? I'm really disappointed (I really love this computer) because it looks like a hardware problem, and the maching is 3 months out of warranty. Is it hard to replace the screen, assuming I can get and afford a new one?
The computer is running Windows 7 64-bit with all the drivers downloaded from the HP download page for this device. I put in a solid state drive a month or two ago, reinstalled Win7 and all the drivers then. It was working spectacularly until a couple days ago when it started doing this.It's this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046017
As a work-around, you can go into Settings -> Display and then uncheck "Scroll title bar". -
Hi, once in a while the screen on my 5K imac turns black and white when I'm on youtube watching videos in fullscreen mode. It also exits the fullscreen mode automatically from one second to the next and a warning pops up saying how I can exit the fullscreen mode. Does anyone have an idea why this happens and if this is a software or hardware problem?
I'm using a Dell laptop with Windows 7. I've set the resolution to 1024x768, though the maximum resolution on this can go as high as 1366x768. So this is a problem that no one has been able to figure out? I've ran lots of other Flash-based applications that went fullscreen with no problem, so I'm wondering what other methods there are to try, if possible.

Canon 7D DSLR Same Day Edit - Cut on Premiere CS5
Hey guys, This is my first post since I've purchased the CS5 platform and I have to admit, everything about Premiere screams BEAST. It takes in, chews and chops up native DSLR footage like I've never seen. This is an edit we recently did last weekend
