IPhoto 09 not recognised by some libraries, not others.

I installed iPhoto 09 and, recently, Snow Leopard. Everything worked fine until I changed library using Library manager. Now it works on one of my libraries, but if I change to another (either with manager or using option key) I get the message that the photos must be updated, and when I click that I'm told that the photos can't be read because they have been modified on a newer version of iPhoto and I should quit and open the newer version. Yet that's what I have! (version 8.1)
Since posting this I have managed to get a second library to work by double clicking in the library icon in finder. But when I try the third still it says I need the newer version!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Sounds like the library is damaged or corrupted.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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, 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.

  • I updated from Snow Leorard to Moutain Lion and now my internet will not recognise  my password. All other comps use the network but my Mac upgraded Mac Mini keeps coming up with either 'timeout' or 'user or password not recognised' ...help!

    Hello all
    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

  • Just purchase ipad3 trying to play from favorites in you tube but can't set up a play list, username /password not recognised, tried some apps like SoundBox but same issues, can anybody help?

    Just purchase ipad3, trying to play you tube favorites but can't set up a play list (username /password not recognised)
    Tried downloading apps such as SoundBox but no joy
    Can anybody help?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • My password is not recognised but I did not change it

    Hello,
    got new hard drive. When switch on first time it did request my password, was entered successfully.
    After switched off and later on again, it did not ask for password at all. Then as I want to make some changes it asks for my password but when i type it it shakes but my password is correct.
    Any idea what happened then and since I cannot even change my password (it does not recognise the "old"one)...what's next?
    Am just afraid when I will switch off and if it ask again for password and since it does not recognise it that I wont be able to login in at some point.
    Thank you
    C.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • Iphone not recognised by PC USB, not able to reset

    iPhone 3G is freezing up regularely. Usually rest with sleep & home button works. This time around I can't reset it but when connecting to he PC it seems somewhat alive: PC says it is not recognising the USB device...
    - What can I do from here?

    Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore , then set it up "as new device", shown here. How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device
    If still not recognized in recovery mode, check this article for solutions: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • IPod not recognised, locking up and not playing tracks.

    I am really hoping someone can help me. I have a 30Gb ipod that keeps locking up, it won't play certain tracks (it just hngs and then eventually skips that track).
    I am pretty sure that restoring the ipod would fix this but neither of my 2 PCs will let me. When I connect the Ipod to either computer all I get is the do not disconnect screen. iTunes will not recognise that it is connected, and if I try iPod Updater then it normally just hangs. Sometimes updater will give a message that the iPod is being used by another process, but not always. I can see the iPod in windows explorer, if you click on it though it just stops explorer responding. It is also shown in device manager.
    I have been through all of the options suggested on the website (5R's) and still no change. Do any of you guys have any other suggestions? Would taking it to an apple store help me? The nearest store is 50 miles away, so I would like to know if it would be worthwhile.

    Re-Format your IPOD using Windows and then "Restore" using the updater. Formatting will take severaL HOURs, so don't rush it.

  • Search in library not working for some libraries (and for others it does work)

    Dear SharePoint/Search adepts
    As you all know, in SharePoint 2013 you have the
    possibility to search from a library.
    Today I encountered some strange behavior…
    We've deployed a SharePoint 2013 environment, 4 SharePoint servers (2wfe +2app),
    and an additional server dedicated to Search and all of its components. This with
    a SQL cluster as a backend
    everything works just perfect...
    Except certain search boxes (above a library) do not
    return results when trying to search within the library.
    If we take the same query and execute it on the site
    itself, it returns the desired result set.
    The odd thing is, that it doesn’t affect all the libraries, in some it works,
    in some it doesn’t.
    no error messages or something like it, search just playing dumb
    I’ve checked several times, all the desired documents
    are crawled. (And can be found in the site search)
    I’m quite confident and experienced with search, but
    this blows my mind and I do not know where to look anymore ...
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Thx for helping out!

  • Links are not working well, some do and other don't!

    Because I want to have url's like www.name.nl/products/productx.html, www.name.nl/organization/personal.html  etc. I made for each map a different little website.
    I made the menu manually and for each menu item I made links like: http://www.name.nl/products/productx.html.
    So I made on the ftp maps of the different menu items like ;huidaandoeningen, products, behandelingen, contact, etc.
    Now the site is online but it's not going well...
    Some links are correct like http://www.htcbreda.nl/huidaandoeningen/acne.html
    All other menu items below 'Huidaandoeningen' is working well but links below 'Behandelingen' are nog working.
    If you try you also see another url address then I gave for instance:
    The requested URL /acnebehandeling.html was not found on this server. This while a give it the name http://www.htcbreda.nl/behandelingen/acnebehandeling.html
    Als for all the menu items below 'Products' and also the menu items below in the big blue bar on the homepage....
    I hope someone can help me. I'm trying to resolve this for a week now and I cannot figure out what is going wrong. Frustrating....

    The Yahoo! Toolbar extension has been reported to cause this issue.

  • Ipad not recognised by pc USB not original is this the problem

  • Iphone not recognised in itunes, iphone not recognised in itunes

    Windows XP , iPhone 4 Itunes latest.
    I have followed ALL of the suggestions to resolve why my iPhone does not show in iTunes. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    It worked before although everytime iTunes updated I had problems connecting again.
    When iPhone is plugged in to usb windows recognises it as a camera no prob.
    Cheers

    I have the same problem too. My phone wont show on my pc that's why I can't move my photos. But it does show on itunes.
    Then I went to device manager and this is what I found. I dont know what to do though.

  • Notes app not recognising mail account with notes (SL upgrade to ML)

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion but all my notes disappeared. I researched this online and realised that now Notes is a separate app. I looked in it but the notes are not there.
    I researched futher online and it appears that the email account setup in system preferences needs to have the notes box ticked. I checked this but there is not a note box against the email address. see screen capture below.
    this is a POP mail account and presumably the account that all my notes are associated with.
    I found the notes.mbox file in my SL backup and imported this into email so I have a copy of the notes but I can't edit any of them.
    Any ideas - what I need to do to resolve this.
    thanks.

    I resolved this by
    Deleting all copies of com.apple.notes apart from the help files.
    Repairing the disk permissions
    switching on notes on my iphone and in mail accounts
    restarted macbook
    launched mail app
    launched notes app.
    This brought in all my notes which are synced with my iphone.
    This was a combination of several different solutions from different posts on this forum.

  • Latest version does not recognise my playlist or libraries!!Help

    Looks as though the latest version of i-tunes has loaded itself onto my pc. I was happy with the old version....because it worked! can I download and use a previous version?
    New version does not recognise my Playlists , libraries and i cant locate newly downloaded songs.
    I've tried following i-tuned help to restore libraries. i.e removing the library file to desk top and then the old one to trash, still nothing ...any help greatly appreciated.
    Driving me nuts.

    Is your iTUnes up to date? I believe the iPhone 5 requires iTUnes 11.

  • Other Touch recognised but daughters is not

    My daughter's Touch pings when its pluged into the PC but is not recognised in iTunes. My other daughters Touch, which was bought at the same time is recognised and so is my old Classic. I have triied doing the following
    1. Reinstall iTunes
    2. Tried using different ports/cables to connect the iPod
    3. Let the battery run out then recharge using an external electric charger
    4. It is recognised when it is connected to my work laptop but I cannot bring this home for her to download/manage.
    The Touch charges whilst connected to the PC, which is XP,
    Other than the above her iPod is fully functional, she can connect to the internet, play music/vids etc. The only other problem she has is that the on/off button on the top of her iPod does not work and she is unable to switch off manually, although dont think this should be related?
    Tried searching the net but not come accross a similar problem where other iPods are working on the same PC. Any help will be greatly apprieciated.

    I'm having the same problems with the same JVC decks since upgrading to FCP 5.1.2 and I need to finish my projects. I got one of the decks to work finally, but during capture, after making new clips in the bin, FCP displays "searching for media" in capture window and not fully capturing the next clip and it does this with every clip. This was not a problem before I upgraded to FCP 5.1.2. Will someone please help!!!!!!
