IPHOTO?10.6.8 do macs only last 6 months?

Hi,
my brand new MACBOOK in 2011 January was updated to 10.6.8 as asked to by update so that I may buy the LION Update.
For some reason IPHOTO doesnt work or open and just shows the spinning line circle not the rainbow deathstar!It was perfect before.
But does work in the Guest account.
I have tried control option comand as IPHOTO opens from toolbar.Yes it brings up the repair permissions list.I have tried multiple combinations the blue repairing/working blue line comes up for 5 seconds max goes ok.then off.
In the Applications folder-Utilities-Disc Utility App i have clicked on verify etc all checks out fine in first aid etc.
Before I do something like i dont want to any ideas i think its something pretty simple but havent stumbled upon it yet.
In the hard drive there is still 15.6GB left available.
I havent a huge amount of photos and have left videos in Documents.
Thanks for any help
Peter.

There are three ways to reinstall iPhoto
3 is not an option if you did not purchase iPhoto form the App store for the two options you have are original restore didsk or purchase an iLife DVD fromsomeone like Amazon or eBay
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

I updated to OS X Mavericks and iPhoto 11 and my photos for the last 2 month disappeared. I have a Mac Mini.

On 10/25/2013 OS X on my Mac mini was updated to Mavericks and iPhoto was updated to iPhoto 11. Since then the photos in iPhoto from the last 2 months have disappeared. Has anyone had a similar complaint? Thank you. harck.

Since then the photos in iPhoto from the last 2 months have disappeared.
Just a hunch - the "last two month" sounds like an photo stream sync problem.
How did you import the photos from the last two month? Were they in the Photo Stream? Then enable your Photo Stream again in the Sytem Preferences iCloud pane and iPhoto Preferences iCloud tab. This option might have been disabled. If you did not download your recent photos automatically from from the stream, the photo stram must be disabled to show them.
Also, your "last import" event might be empty after the upgrade of the library. Try to sort your events differently, to bring the last event to the top of the list in "Events" view.

My one year warranty expired recently, a month ago my charger was replaced under warranty and it has only lasted a month and has broken again, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will i have to buy a new one?

Bought the phone on contract last January (late in january), had my charger replaced just after christmas and now it has stopped working again, its been about a month and a half and the replacement charger is broken, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will I have to buy a new charger? And if so, is there a charger that doesn't break easily (my problem is the the wire at the phone end of the cable seems to bunch and twist etc.)
thanks.

a warranty replacement if the donor is out of warranty has a new 90 days warranty from exchange date

Why do the apple chargers for iPhones only last a month ... I'm tired of buying chargers for three apple products in my home

Why do the iphone chargers stop working after a month of use I'm so tired of buying chargers for supposedly the best products "APPLE" I'm getting really disturbed by it and ready to stop buying apple products

I'm not trying to start a fight, but perhaps it is how you are using them? They are somewhat delicate, but if inserted and removed properly, and not overly stressed when in use, they last. I have several that are over a year old with no problems, and I remove them daily.
Most failures are caused by either pulling the lightning cable by the cable instead of the connector, or strain (force) at the cable terminator. If your cables are failing that often, it may be you need to rethink when and how to use them.
**As a point of clarification: Are you speaking of the lightning cable? or the charging block that plugs into the wall?**

Photos not appearing in "Last 12 Months"

My last 3 uploads from my Sony DSC-HX1 camera (that I have used for a year) is uploading to my iPhoto but will not show up in "last 12 months". I thought I deleted them but I found the pictures in Events. how do I get them back to "last 12 months"? I always make a book at the end of each year, but I cannot put these pictures in. They have the correct date, so that is not the issue. My iPhone4 and my other Sony camera DSC-W290 are showing up in the "last 12 months" when I downloaded my pictures today. any idea why this has just started happening?
I thought I was loosing it after taking pictures of my daughters play and then not seeing them on my computer. I thought "I know I saw the camera flash, I know I saw the picture on the screen.... HELP

I know you said the dates are correct but what you describing sounds like incorrect dates - select one of the photos in question and look at the info pane to reverify - the last 12 months is a preference that can be changed so you can play with it but that does not sound like it
You can try renewing the iPhoto preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

IPhoto "Last 12 months" only shows 1 month from March-April

On August 24th I imported some film into my iPhoto. Well I finally have a chance to go edit it and it is not there. After searching for it on iPhoto and my computer and an external hard drive- all just in case- I discovered that my iPhoto will only open up photos/video from 3/20/13-4/27/13. It says that that is what I uploaded in the last 12 months...I have uploaded a lot more than that and used it to create videos and export photos from my iPhone.
I can't find my videos anywhere and it is for a project due on Monday.
Can anyone help?

Wondering: what happens to photos in the Last 12 Months folder, which have not been sorted into other albums, after 12 months..? -
Nothing happens to them. The last twelve months album is just a window, showing you a current selection of your photos. You can access all photos in your library either from the Photos view or from the "events" view. Each photo is a member of one of the events.
You can define your own "last xxx month" albums with a different date range by defining a smart album from the File menu.
Format the date according to the date format in your region settings.

How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook?

How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook? It is currently retrieving all emails from the four accounts I am syncing to and filling up space on my macbook. I can't work out how to set a limit.
Any help appreciated!

Imap is designed to synchronize your mail client with the mail server, this the normal result.
Switch to POP access if you want it to work asynchronously

When I try to drag and drop my photos in iPhoto to an external drive (for backup or to transfer them to my other Mac) only some will transfer. If I copy

When I try to drag and drop my photos in iPhoto to an external drive (for backup or to transfer them to my other Mac) only some will transfer. If I copy and paste, the same thing happens. The photos are all taken with the same camera, but some will not transfer. It tells me right away - for example, I'll "grab" 3500 photos to drag and move, and the red ball will tell me it's moving 3256 or something. If I use the copy function instead - copy 3500 photos, it will show in Finder that I can paste 3256 or whatever. This happens on my iMac as well as my MacBook Pro. It started recently and I've never had this before. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Are you able to use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu to export the photos into a folder on the EHD?

I have lost pictures in my albums. Only some. I deleted same photos from last 18 months because they were duplicates. Did this make the pictures disappear from yhe albums?

I have lost the pictures in most of my albums. After I creatd the albums, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them. Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased? My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not. Help

Was that in iPhoto on your Mac or on your iPad?
, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them.
Then, sorry to say, you will have deleted the photos from your iPhoto library.
Have you checked iPhoto's Trash and the Trash on your Desktop, if the photos are still there? Then put them back from iPhoto's Trash or move them back from the trash basket on your Desktop.
Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased?
Albums do not store photos or duplicate photos - they are a way to group photos that are stored in events, just an index, showing you a subset of the photos in the library. A photo can be used in many albums, without needing more storage. When you delete a photo from its event, it will be removed from all albums, and all other views of the iPhoto library. Never delete a phot from its event, unless you want to remove it completely from your iPhoto library. A photo is only a duplicate, unless you have imported the same file twice and you see the copy in an event.
iPhoto has several views, that may show you the same photos in different groupings, for easy access, but do not contain duplicates.
If you cannot retrieve your photos from the Trashs, restore your iPhoto Library from the last backup, that contains all photos. If there is no recent backup, you may want to try recovery software - then stop using your mac and don't do anything that writes to your harddisk, until you recovered, what is still on your disk.
For example,
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
usually makes a very good job of finding any jpegs, that still can be found on the harddrive.
My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not.
I don't understand, why you mention the iPad? Have you synced your photos to your iPad and are there still copies of them in your albums on the iPad?

Why did my iPhoto stop opening on my Mac?

I tried to open iPhoto and got the following message: You can't open the application "iPhoto.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
I have been successfully using iPhoto for years without ever seeing such a message. It just suddenly decided it wasn't going to work.
I have a 2007 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac
I also got this wierd Terminal message on my dock:

You need to reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

In the libary of iPhoto I do have double pictures only in the year 2006. Can someone please tell me how to remove the double pictures. I did rebuilt the libary but that solution did not help me any further.

I think the warning is very clear.
What warning? Where do you say that this plan you suggest will lose at least some, and possibly a whole lot of metadata, plus the original files of edited photos. This is significant dataloss. And you should warn people that this is the case.
While your metadata and originals may not be important to you, that is not necessarily the case for other users.
Fourthly, and last, cleaning the iPhoto library should be done at least once per year
This is nonsense. The iPhoto Library has no need of "cleaning" and certainly not in any way that trashes a whole lot of data.
I'm very impressed that you assess the application based on the sound of the name. It's not a common way to review applications, but I'm sure it has some merit.
FWIW it has been recommended on this - and other - sites for many years and has proven safe and effective.

Iphoto not storing photos in Last 2 month folder

Since I upgraded to Os X 10.8 when I download photos from camera, iphoto is putting the picture in the Last import folder but if you
download again from the camera a new pictures the previous one do not appear anymore in the Last 2 months folder.( but they are indeed in the Photo folder.)
Why? Basically my Last 2 Months folder has only pictures before the upgrade to OS X.
Any thoughts?

iPhoto 09?
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.

HT1338 for the last 6 months my mac is crashing all the time. I think it is safari because firefox works fine. Any suggestions?

for the last 6 months my mac is crashing all the time. I think it is safari because firefox works fine. Any suggestions?

What is crashing, is it just Safari or is the entire computer freezing (if that's what you mean by crashing)? If the latter, are you saying it only happens when Safari is open?
You need to explain with more detail just what is happening and when.
Do you get a message to restart?

Why do ipod touchs only last 1 year?

My best friend has as ipod and it's lasted for like two years now. I've had to buy 2 ipod's in the time she's had her's. Why arn't mine lasting as long as her's? I've heard somewhere that normal iPod touches only last 1 year.. WHY?? It's not like money grows off trees. And iPod touches arn't cheep either.. so please help. (FYI I'm having to buy my 3rd iPod touch now because my screen is all white. )

Maybe it's overheating from all the spellchecking it's required to do.
I've had mine 2.5 years and it still works great. Make sure you let the battery go real low once in a while and give it a nice full recharge. Make sure you don't drop it. Make sure you don't put it in water. Make sure you connect it to your Mac/PC once in a while, back it up, and restore it to original factory condition. the only issue I have is that the battery doesn't last as long as it used to, but it's still pretty good.

I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one). The others events disapear!!

I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one) and the last import that I made in iphoto is the first one . The others events disapear!! What can be happen? Please, someone could help me?

I tried to do shift + alt + command - option
That's not what I suggested...
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto.
Restore from your back up is the easiest solution.
