Iphoto 09 worked fine for a week - NOW NOTHING!!

So I upgraded to Iphoto 09 last week and everything worked fine. This weekend I did the facial recognition process across 40 k photos. It took almost 30 hours but completed the process and yesterday everything seemed to be working just fine.
Today I get this new message "The Photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Iphoto"
Then we get a long wait and the message "examining photo library" followed by an excruciatingly long wait and a new message : YOU cant open your current library with this version - you have made changes using a newer version"
Not true - I am opening the NEWLY loaded version - have checked 5 times or more today
What can I do to fix this please

If the Command-Option technique doesn’t work: 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.

College requested I install firefox in order to operate within Blackboard. Has been working fine for one week, now unable to use enable HTML button. Getting incompatible browswer message and firefox version unknown. How do I fix?

Very frustrating - I have done all of the plug-in checks. Everything is up to date. I have re-booted my computer. The college is using Blackboard version CE8.0.5. I am Windows XP. What else do you need to know?

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

My macbook from 2008 which I bought used worked fine for 3 weeks and then suddenly it started restarting and now it restarts, goes to grey apple screen and a code saying something about a kernel panic appears and it restarts again and again. Help?

Restart the computer and immediately hold the Option key down.
Select the Recovery partition and continue.
On the next pane, select Disk Utility and continue.
When DU opens, select your hard drive in the left column, click the First Aid tab, the click Repair Disk.
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

Nforce 3 Platninum and 6800GT works fine for a week or so then fails to boot.

Hi everyone,
I have read pretty much all the posts on the forum, but none show the exact same problem as mine, as far as I can see.
I have an MSI Nforce 3 plat mobo (with latest BIOS), which is turning out to be the worst investment I ever got.
My specs are as follows:
2x512MB Kingston ram
AMD 3.5
pixelview 6800gt
raptor HD
thermaltake 480W PS
I upgraded to the nforce 3 for the 939pin socket for my AMD chip. I had constant freezing, so my old memory I had to chuck and buy 1GB of Kingston ram. Using my old ATI 9800pro my system was stable. Absolutely no crashes. I decide to buy a pixel view 6800GT AGP card to upgrade. Cool. Plug it in, reload windows (latest WHQL drivers from NVIDIA). Everthing is fine, for about a week. Then bad things start to happen. The symptoms are:
Turn machine on, BIOS check all ok, machine does DMI listing. As soon as the "starting windows" screen comes up, the video display goes corrupt. Either white, with diagonal lines, or windows XP logo all over the screen several times and corrupted. The machine does boot into windows, but the screen is blank or corrupted. I hear the windows startup sound click in. Press the power button, shut down the machine. Reboot. It usually comes up fine.
I thought initially it was the graphics card, so I swapped it out. Reloaded windows. All works ok for about a week. Then, again same problem. Windows event viewer shows no errors.
My question is this: can this be fixed or is it hardware incompatibility. If so, can I fix it tweaking the mobo settings. I have tried the AGP fast writes, didn't work. This looks like intrinsic Hardware incompatibility, but if it is this, why does it work for a week without any problems, and then it gets worse and worse and worse.
If this is a hardware problem, what is the cheapest way to get out of this. Is MSI nforce 4 any better or do I ditch pc gaming all together. I have been gaming from XT days, and I have to say, I am totally disheartened with this whole mess. The one thing in my life that I do want control of is a bootable, reliable PC to relax with at the end of the day. At the moment, I just shed tears as it is turning out to be a costly nightmare.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My friend has offered to buy the 6800GT from me, and give me my old 9800Pro back. Should i do this???
Thanks guys
John

Hi Makisst,
Thanks for the reply.
System specs are as follows:
AMD 3500 64
MSI Neo Platinum (nforce3)
Creative labs Audigy2 pci card
Pixelview 6800GT AGP 256MB
Kingston DDR400 512Mb PC3200 400Mhz x2
MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM 939 pin (MS-7025-010)
Western Digital Raptor™ 74.0Gb 10,000RPM SATA150
Themaltake 480W power supply.
I have 2 extra ATA HDs, which I have not added to the system to rule those out.
I have a DVD player (bog standard MSI) and a CD burner (not plugged in so as to rule this out).
The only thing I have not tried is removing the sound card (audigy 2). What is driving me absolutely nuts is that the machine works fine for a week. Then there is a slow degrade. First boot, scrambled screen, second boot fine. Then a few days later, it will only boot the thrid time around. Then after 2 weeks, it won't boot at all.
I have tried this card in another persons machine (the 6800GT that is), and it boots fine.
I can honestly say I have not tried playing with the BIOS settings except for AGP fast writes, as it was working fine with the Radeon 9800 pro. I have done two full HD formats, and completely wiped the Raptor twice now.
I shall have a look at the BIOS settings you recommended tonight, and see if they make a difference. I am, to be 100% honest, a little bit scared of playing with the BIOS settings, as I really don't know what I am doing. I see that the ppl I bought the machine off have set timings in the BIOS to 3-3-8-3 (I think, I will confirm this tomorrow), so should I leave these settings?
I shall also remove the Audigy 2 card and see what happens. System properties show machine has no conflicts though. It is almost like the card is not initialising correctly. Why this happens only after 1 week though I have no idea. This is the third time it has started happening after 1 week.
The only extra software loaded is Norton, Win XP SP2 and directX9. I really have not had it stable enough to start loading extra software. I am getting too tired after reloading for the third time in 6 weeks.
I will let you know tomorrow either way.
Many thanks
John

I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard. I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences. The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork. I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
I’ve been having to this every day now. Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

Extend a network worked fine for 2 years, now it doesn't

Sorry I'm not at home so I've gotta go off bad memory...
My setup has worked fine for a number of years. A non-simultaneous dual band Extreme is the main base station. I have a Express ethernet-ed to the network working without issue. There's also a newer Extreme farther away that has been wirelessly extending the network without too much issue until now. Airport Utility pops up now saying the newer Extreme is unable to extend. All I attempt to do is restart because all my settings seem to have been fine. Original base set to create with extend checked, and the newer Extreme set to extend with the same ssid, password etc.
So what's changed if I haven't changed anything? Newer versions of something?
Thanks for any input.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Hey xxikearnsxx,
When troubleshooting power issues, the following article provides the most relevant information:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Help! Getting iTunes Error 11503 and Error (-50) was working fine this morning and now nothing

My iTunes has been working fine until this afternoon and now when I go to download music I am getting error code 11503 or (-50) Help, please!

Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app, or perhaps a big music file. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
Close iTunes.
Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
Restart iTunes.
All should be fine.
If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

My iMovie isn't opening -- it worked fine earlier today and now nothing

I worked on a couple movies today, deleted a few projects and a couple hours later my iMovie has just stopped coming up. I don't know what to do. I read somewhere to put iMovie in the trash but I have several things on there that I don't want trashed so that isn't an option for me. I'm so frustrated. I have the snow leopard (I think) - the one before the new system that came out this year. I haven't updated cause when I bought my new video camera th esales woman said that the new system doesn't work with this camera --- so now I have a new camera I can't even use cause the iMovie won't open. It comes up on the top - just that informational stuff but not the actual iMovie -- I scrolled down for check for updates and it popped up for a millisecond. Don't know what to do - tried turning the computer off but still nothing.

Try this:
Reboot your Mac, while holding down the Shift key (this is called Safe Boot Mode). When you see the timer start spinning, and eventually see the text Safe Boot Mode, let go of the Shift key.
When you see the Desktop launch iMovie and see if it can load the program.
If it fails, try deleting the Preferences file for iMovie.
Go to Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Library > Preferences > look for com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
If you have an earlier version of iMovie installed it might be named something like com.apple.iMovie8.plist.
Move that file to the desktop by dragging it out of the folder. Or even drag it to the trash. Try launching iMovie again.

I have a Rocketfish mini display port to VGA adaptor cord for a macbook pro, it was working fine the first week, now it does not show what I am seeing on my laptop on my lg Flat screen tv. It only shows the space background but not any icons. Any help??

Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.

It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
For software you may try a smc reset:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Try a pram reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.

Argh! Updated ipod 4G software. Worked fine for a day now showing ZERO song

Updated my 4G 40gb iPod and for a day everything was fine. Now iTunes is telling me to restore iPod to factory settings and iPod itself shows 0 songs but still 8 GB left on ipod. What should I do? I had over 4,000 songs on there!

I'm also having problem in here after taking that new update 10.1. My 40 Gb's iPod 2.3 have asked many times to set it for factory settings. So I set it to factory settings and drive that latest updating to it. Then I try to correct it with Drive 10 hard drive program and checked one more time with Disk Utility, but it's still acting odd. In Preferences>Main menu there is such kind of a menu than importing photos. I think that haven't been there earlier and it should not be there, because it's not any Photo iPod. Why to import photos with using it when I can use it like a hard drive and keep thousands of photos there anyway.
There must be something odd in that latest update and I hope to find that earlier update somewhere. Do you happen to have it? If you do can you please send that to me. I have moved mine in trash. I also would be very thankful if someone do have better advises for what to do next.

Iphoto is being updated, for 2 weeks now, it wont open?

Everytime i try to open iPhoto it tells me that it is being updated and cannot open. It has been like this for about 2-3 weeks. It does not show up in the app updates section of the app store either, what do i do?

Back up all data. Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Test after each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Updates
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the contents of the selected folder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Do as in Step 1 with this line:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Restart the computer. If there's no change, quit the App Store and restore the file you moved from your backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, recreate your settings in the Software Update preference pane.
Step 3
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
          Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
          Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
          Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.*.plist
          Saved Application State/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.savedState
Here, * stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Step 4
Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

Iphoto 09 worked fine for a week - NOW NOTHING!!
