Info not showing anything (sometimes not even panel)

Hi
Hopefully someone can help when I click info on photos so I can tag people or see dates sometimes i get an etched grey panel - mostly not!
If i go Photos>detect missing faces sometimes it crashes sometimes it comes up!? but then the font seems black on black!?
I have tried rebuilding data bases etc - Do i need to reinstall? Is this possible?
I have an iMac runnning 10.9.1 with a 2.5 GHZ intel Core i5 with 2GB Ram

First try all of the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
If that fails to solve the problem it could be another preference file other than iPhoto. Here's how to test for that:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of the orignal Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
Note: keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working. If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
First close Photoshop.
Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

My iPad 4 is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. Have held the home button down while connecting the USB cable to the iPad and its not doing anything, not even showing up under my computer Please Help

IiPad is stuck in the iTunes connect screen. I have held the home button down while plugging the iPad in and still nothing. Hard reset isn't even doing anything. It's not even showing up under my computer. Please Help

Did you get a message that the iPad is disabled?
iOS: Device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode
http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/a/Iphone-Recovery-Mode.htm
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Tried to open an app and my iPad gen one froze. It only shows the apple on black screen and will show the operating wheel sometimes and while plugged in it will beep every few minutes. Will not load one show anything on screen but the small white apple.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Leopard update will not boot HD, 2nd HD or show anything on the desktop?

G5 Dual 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM - 250 GB main HD, 2nd HD 500 GB internal used for storage only. Running 10.4.10 before Leopard
Note: I checked my permissions and verified my HD before installing Leopard. I did not do a clean install, I did an update. I'm going to buy a new desktop soon, so I opted for the quick and dirty. Chose to keep old settings during upgrade.
The install seemed to go OK. I got through the registration part OK (it was all filled in automatically) and connected to Apple. Then on the restart, it would only load as far as the Menu on the screen. It will not mount the 2 internal Hard drives I have in the machine and it will not show anything that was on the desktop before. Only spinning color wheel for 5 hours. I can get the Dock up, even turned off the Hiding. Went to the gray Apple (old blue one) and called up the system preferences. Now the System Preferences name is stuck in the Menu. Had to force quit the machine by holding in the power button.
On several restarts, I tried to dump the P-Ram, also a start up in safety mode (which didn't work - holding down the Shift Key on startup). Nothing seems to work.
The wierd thing is, I can see the Hard drive and my 2nd HD (internal storage drive) on my other computers. So I'm backing up everything to them and an external 1 TB HD I had connected to the G5.
I also booted from the Leopard DVD after I had this proplem and went to Disk Utilities and verified the Disk was OK and the Disk permissions were OK. Also periodiacally I get a window that says: Apple Event timed out. The name of the window says: .rvncs, whatever that means.
Something tells me this is not good.
Any ideas by anyone on how I can get my desktop back and have my HD's mount?
I really don't want to erase my HD, just too much stuff to loose.
Yes I know, you have never really been able to just update a Mac OS successfully, only clean installs have ever seemed to work.
Thanks and any help will be appreciated,
Jim

I have the same exact issue...every last word. Except I am running a MSI P6n Diamond. Have any info back from MSI?
Please don't hijack this thread, but open you own.
Give full system specs with detailed information to every single component of your system configuration and describe your problems in you own words again.
Even if you problem appears to be similiar, it must not necessarely have the same causes.
I am sure you will get help and attention in your own new thread.
Maybe this can be solved easily.

When looking at my "About This Mac" it says that I have 60gb of space left on my hard drive, but when I go into finder to find all of these files there is not 300gb worth in anything I search, even searching, "All files on the Mac". Help!?

It says I have over 150 gigs of video on my hard drive. But I have gone through and deleted almost all of what shows up, still it says there is roughly the same amount on the hard drive. Where are these files? I want to delete them so I can have my hard drive clear.
Thanks for your help guys!

Quote from the article.
Time Machine in OS X Lion includes a new feature called "local snapshots" that keeps copies of files you create, modify or delete on your internal disk. Local snapshots compliment regular Time Machine backups (that are stored on your external disk or Time Capsule) giving you a "safety net" for times when you might be away from your external backup disk or Time Capsule and accidentally delete a file.
So what makes a notebook any different then a desktop, other then with a desktop you might have your tm backup drive connected all the time.
The object here is to not indiscriminately delete files you need or want to keep. I personally have never deleted a file I wanted to keep.
In essence a backup is for catastrophic failure of your system. So it can be restored once that failure has been fixed. Not because you go in willy nilly and start deleting files.

My phone has been in recovery mode all day and now it's not even showing up in iTunes. What can I do?

It started this morning when i was syncing it to my iTunes to get some pictrues off of it for class and it said to restore it. I've done restore before so I clicked and went along. But then it didnt work at all and came up with error 14. I shut down my pc and turned it back on, plugged it in and after an hour of syncing it worked. Left, went to class and noticed that none of my music or apps were on my phone so after my class i went and plugged it back in again. Thats when everything went down hill. It said the same things about restoring and what nots so I didnt think anything of it. Everytime I tried again it said it would fail with the error messages as 14,2003, or 3200. Now it's not even showing up in my iTunes when i plug it in. I've tried the advice on here but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Why do imported hyperlinks from Word not show up in Indesign Hyperlinks panel?

ID CS6 Windows 7
I am able to copy and paste hyperlinked text from Word into ID and everything works ok-- when exported to PDF the links work fine.
except now client wants to rename the text of the hyperlink- but there seems to be no way to even see what the URL destination is.
None of the Word links show up in the Hyperlinks panel.
I have to find out the URL and delete the original linked text and redo them.

Um. Are you not talking about proper URLs? I kind of assumed you were :)
Actually, hyperlinks *should* import just nicely into ID, not only plain URLs but also those with alternative text. But if they do, they'd show in the hyperlink panel ...
Can you check if they are mentioned in the Hyperlink Destination list in your ID document? That would confirm or disprove they are actually present, at some level.

Firefox opens but nothing shows/load in the window, not even menu buttons

I open Firefox & a window opens but nothing loads or shows up, not even menu buttons. Occasionally when you blindly click around some menus will open but options beyond that don't produce anything.
I have (not necessarily in this order):
Uninstalled Firefox, deleted all remaining folders, then reinstalled (twice).... didn't help.
Reverted PC back to before Firefox updated... didn't work.
Uninstalled, Debugged my PC, reinstalled.... didn't work.
Turned off firewalls & switched settings to make sure nothing was blocking it from working.... didn't work.
At this point, after surfing Mozilla support site & not finding anyone else having this exact issue I'm not sure what else to do. I love Firefox & want to keep using it (I HATE using Internet Explorer) but the only other solution I can think of is use Google Chrome or IE.
I have Windows 7, use McAfee, & SpyHunter. My laptop is less than 5 y.o. & I keep thing updated reg. so I don't think anything should be out of date or incompatible.
Thanks!

Hello,
Currently in version 33, Firefox has implemented a new, faster way of loading webpages. This new feature is called OMTC. However, there are still some tweaks Mozilla developers are making to this.
There is a known issue that Mozilla works on very hard to fix: if you are experiencing black webpages on some sites, here's what you can do to avoid the problem in the meantime:
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
To disable Hardware Acceleration
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''.
* In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
* In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
Now, exit Firefox, wait a few seconds, and then start it normally.
Please let us know if this solves the problem. Engineering is also gathering more information about the issue would request that you fill out [http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1851506/1c87a6cf309a this survey]
I should also mention that other users with this problem had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. Until Mozilla comes up with a fix, if you want Hardware Acceleration in Firefox, you can try to update your driver through the appropriate link below to see if that helps:

Geo info not showing in places

I'm unable to get the gps info to show up in iphoto's places on my macbook. It works fine on my imac..
both computers have the most current iphoto (iphoto 09) and the same pictures (the gps info is there.. it shows latitude and longitude under extended info)
so, why does gps info show up correctly only on the imac and not the macbook? (nothing shows in places and nothing shows when i click the i in the corner) Is there a preference setting I need to set on the macbook that I'm missing?
thanks

so I dont understand why nothing shows up in places
Have you set iPhoto to look up Places automatically in the Preferences?
when i click the i in the corner
That panel contains no Places information.

Report in pdf...not showing anything

hii all
i have created report with parameters..... when report is called, its preview opens properly (parameter form is removed, so directly report opens) and shows everything....but when from preview window, File->generate to file->PDF is done.....it does not show anything.......
any idea why this happens....?

yes report is proper even if parameter form is not shown.....but PDF blank....
and if i keep parameter form.. it displays report properly and when i generate PDF it asks for parameter and that time it displays pdf properly....
but i dont want parameter form...thats why i removed it..and so it is not asking for parameter when generating PDF...and i think that why it is not PDF blank....
so any solution to this?

Show inspector more info not working

I recently upgraded to Lion and I notice that when I use the "Show Inspector" to view information on multiple files with one Info window is not working properly. In Snow Leopard as I clicked on different image files the "More Info" section would show image sizes. Now in Lion it doesn't show anything but a line "-". As I click on different images it doesn't show anything in the "More Info" section. Can any body help me with this? Has this function changed some how in Lion?

I'll answer my own question then :-p
It seems that when you change the library view options to sort manually then you no longer get the information popup (which makes sense). Changing back to date or album view brought back the info.
FYI.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
