IPhoto '11 (9.1 build 475) works only intermittently

The newest version of iPhoto (9.1 build 475) is constantly annoying me. I have had several crashes, and have sent in the crash reports, but my issues have not been addressed. The newest version will take over a GigaByte of memory just to open. When it does open, it does so slowly, many times crashing. Same when it closes- sometimes it hangs and never actually closes. Activity Monitor shows CPU usage at over 100%.
I have reset plist files, rebuilt library, cleared caches, fixed permissions, fixed thumbnails, cleared duplicate fonts, removed avi files from iPhoto library, removed divx codecs, and other things (thanks to the GREAT help here on Apple Discussions!) to try to get iPhoto working correctly. Nothing has consistently helped.
I have many photos tagged with Faces and with Places. If I completely rebuilt the Library, is this information lost? I spent lots of time adding this information, and would hate to see it wasted.
Not to mention that I, too, am unhappy with some of the functionality changes in sharing photos by email, or burning a disc to share photos of an event with a friend. I am quickly considering "down"grading to iPhoto '09.

The Library sounds "permascrewed" as the rebuid tools won't work and the back up is faulty.
Upgrading from to 9.1.5 did not require the Library to be upgraded, so that's the point at which iPhoto saw a problem.
No, there's no evidence of an issue with larger libraries, at least not on here.

Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for further assistance.

Spotlight Works only Intermittently

I've tried the add then delete location in the privacy tab as suggested in the Lion manual: to fix the buggy Spotlight service (their words). Sometimes Spotlight works, other times, nothing. Why is it SO difficult for OS X 10.7.4 to maintain an index? What am I missing to maintain a stable index database? Are there some other settings besides Spotlight preferences? Thanks for any help. This is frustrating!

What do you mean by "works only intermittently"? FWIW, I use a tailored savedSearch, which always works. As for other ways to control the indexing, see the Terminal command mdutil.

Mid-2010 macbook pro mini display port to hdmi works only intermittently

I have a 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.2. HDMI out from mini displayport to my Dynex TV only intermittently works. The times that I have gotten it to work involves a combination of restarting the computer, unplugging the TV and plugging it back in, then plugging in the MDP adapter. Now when I plug it in, the MacBook screen flashes black like it is trying to detect the external display, but no picture on the TV. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the console log output when I plug in the adapter:

Why is my bonjour working only intermittently with itunes

I have an existing airport extreme wireless set-up that works well.
However, iTunes only occasionally shows the library of the laptop on the desktop and conversly the desktop on the laptop. Why is this not happening every time both machines are awake and iTunes open?
Is there something I have to trigger to get this to work?
Thanks,

OpenGL enhancement works only intermittently

I'm using the trial version of CS4. Even though I'm using a low grade video board (Radeon X1300), the openGL features work - sometimes.
I can't figure out why, even though it is enabled in preferences, the graphics acceleration doesn't work. But at some other time it does work. Often I can rotate the canvas, or the animated zoom and flick pan and smooth odd magnification levels all work, and then not. In all cases, the feature is enabled in preferences.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

Sounds like a resource problem. The card seems to only do so many processing cycles and when its internal caches are filled, it doesn't flush them properly so no additional processing can happen. This possibly could be merely a driver problem where the graphics system is not receiving the correct commands or not interpreting PS' resource requests properly, so that would be something to look into...

Touchstone works only intermittently!

My touchstone doesn't appear to be working. It sometimes will work, and sometimes it will charge for a moment stop and then charge again. I hear the BuBing again and again and again as this does this which drives me (and my wife) crazy!
I have adjusted it's position on the touchstone without any success. The same thing happens with the touchstone at the verizon store.
The USB charger always works.
It seems to work after I plug the USB directly into the Pre and let it charge for a little while or after I reset the phone. But, this doesn't always fix the problem.
I use the clear case that i bought at the verizon store.
The Verizon store wasn't very helpful ( and pretty rude). She just resetted the phone and it worked for 5 minutes. Then when I got to work, it started with the BaDing cycle. I charged it for a bit with the USB, and now it worked again for about 5 minutes.
I haven't found help on the Pre Central forums.
The touchstone is such a cool concept, and should be very convient, but if it only works 80% of the time, it is effectively useless!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Two notes: Have you tried charging it without the case. Some cases are not compatible even when they indicate they are. This will determine if the touchstone is at fault or if it is the case interfering with the signal. If you are still having problems with the case off, then you have afaulty touchstone and you should return it for a new one.
Second, I also don't like the noise the pre makes even when I plug it into the USB or use the touchstone, so....
I downloaded the application called web os quickinstall which can be found at precentral.com. You can find other links to it all over the net. Just make sure you get the most recent version. I think it is 3.1 or 3.2. Within web os quick install you will find hundreds of "patches" and free apps that can be instantly loaded onto your phone. Patches custom modify how the phone looks and operates. One of those patches allows you to turn off the tone that the Pre makes when is starts to charge whether you are using the USB or the touchstone.
Hope this helps.

Caller ID works only intermittently

Over the past week or so, we have received quite a few calls where the caller ID never shows up. We only get an "Incoming Call" message on the phone but it doesn't then display the ID. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason regarding which calls work (we get the ID) and which do not.
This is on a copper landline.

I'm having the same issue. Tested using my cell. Worked fine yesterday, but not today. People that call me all the time and their CallerID would show up, no longer appear all the time. Very random. I though it was the Cordless set, so I purchased a new set today ($116). Same problem. Tried putting the Base Unit on different jacks within the house - same problem. Tested it at the NID. Same problem. Verizon reports no outages in the area, so "it must be your phone."
Really guys????

Power button works only intermittently

Hi there,
When I try to turn on my macbook pro, (bought in October of 2009), it now takes several tries at times. For the first year and a half, I never had this issue.
A couple months back, it would only turn on if I unplugged devices connected via USB (external mouse, Internet stick) but at least then the computer would turn on, but not fully boot up.
Now, it sometimes doesn't turn on at all. My sense is that this is a separate issue. When it doesn't turn on, the little white light on the front right of the case comes on. I hold the power button down again, and there's a faint sound, and the light goes off. Sometimes, on the next try, the MBP will turn on, sometimes it takes 3 or more tries.
I'd take it to an apple store, but I'm in a small town in South India, and there are none nearby. I'm hoping to get some input before making a long treck to a bigger city so I can have it looked at.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Julian

i brought it to apple support and it turns out there was so much humidity in my room that that's what caused the problem. They opened it up, dried it out and it worked again.
I'm in Goa Indis right now, and it's monsoon season. Plus, I lived in a place right near the ocean. This is probably an unusual set of circumstances but I figured I'd add the solution in case somebody else ever runs into this.

Why does clone stamp work only intermittently?

I'm cleaning up a photo before I optimize it and put it onto the web. This is a JPEG. I've created an action for a specific size using just the selection tool. Then I adjust the levels, the color sometimes, and the brightness. Then I click on the clone tool, sample the area I want to clone with the option key, release the option key, and try to place the clone. I see every indication that I'm creating a clone, but when I go to place it, nothing happens.
Keep in mind that this is intermittent. In fact, I was working on a photo a few minutes ago, and I was able to clone something, then I sampled another area to clean up something close to it, and it just stopped cloning!
I've tried duplicating the background layer where the photo resides and working on the duplicate. Nothing. I've tried deleting the locked layer. Nothing. The "Aligned" box is checked. Opacity and flow are at 100%. Mode is normal. Airbrush is not being used. Nothing.
I've tried closing the document and reopening it. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.
I'll futz with it a while and then it might just start working again. But this time, when it stopped working on the photo after it had just worked, I knew it probably wasn't user error. Or is it? I didn't do anything different except to sample a different layer. Heck, I even unplugged my Wacom tablet.
Any thoughts? Please?
I'm on a MacPro running 10.5.5. I let Adobe do its updates, so I'm running 10.0.1 for PS. I do not run Version Cue, but I do use Bridge (love it in CS3). I have 4G of RAM. I hope I've given you enough info.

I stand corrected on the Leopard issue. Thank you to all who corrected me.
As for the workspace, I've already mentioned that it did *not* affect my workspace after all because Adobe has so brilliantly separated out the different kinds of preferences. Very often when you trash the preferences, you lose all kinds of customized settings. I know I have run into this problem in the past with Adobe products. Apparently they have made great strides.
I discovered that in the Adobe Photoshop preferences folder, there are several different preferences that control various aspects of the program. I took out the one that looked like it would do the trick, placing it on my desktop just in case. I relaunched Photoshop, knowing that doing so would recreate the missing preference file, and it resolved the issue.
****My issue has been resolved completely to my satisfaction at this time.**** I could not be happier!

Spotlight working only intermittently on xserve RAID

I have an xserve RAID connected to an xserve and spotlight search works sometimes for some people and then a few minutes later it works for other people but not the ones it was working for originally.
I have tried forcing spotlight to reindex the RAID but that didn't help, users can search inside folders on the RAID but not the whole RAID itself.

This is INSANE! Apple should just take the Server Spotlight promise off their website. Is this working for anyone? Of course, I went off and told my client to upgrade to the Leopard server for exactly this service. Now we're back to using EasyFind which still finds files twice as fast as Apple's Finder Find command. BAH!
Okay - for the record:
I forced the mac to re-index Spotlight using Cocktail - and it did that (this is the internal system drive that also has share points on it).
Spotlight finds perfectly fine from the Server's Desktop.
If I sign in from a client as admin and click on "Shared" and "File Name" it will find the files - but not all of them - that match a search. (ie if I am looking for files with "07-0782" in the name and type "07-078", I get them all. If I add a "2" to the end of that, it drops a couple of the files off the list - files that clearly have "07-0782 in their name.)
Content search returns nothing - ever.
If I sign on as a regular user - I never get anything searching with "Shared" chosen in the Finder window, but if I click on the quoted folder name between "This Mac" and "Shared", it seems to do a manual (takes a minute or two depending on depth of folder) and does return results - although I swear EasyFind is faster.
I assume this might have something to do with permissions. But every folder has always had all users as part of the group with R/W permissions and "others" set to read. According to the Spotlight Server rules - anyone should be able to search if there is "read" permissions set to the share point. Anyway, I re-propagated the permissions - no help.
Phew... there's more oddness, but this is the gist of it. I did do a regular upgrade-install from a 10.4 server could this be the problem? - but erasing and re-installing doesn't seem to have helped others. Right?

Will Report Builder 2012 Work with SQL Server 2008???

Simple question really
Will Report Builder 2012 work in conjunction with SQL Server 2008???
Is it worth while upgrading?
The main reason i ask is the ability to export in an xlsx format
Thanks

Hi Gmach,
The version of Report Builder on SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 is Report Builder 3.0. The Report Builder 3.0 manufactures 2010 RDL reports, so it only works with the version of SQL Server 2008 R2 or later. So in your scenario, we can no connect
to SQL Server 2008 Server using Report Builder that on SSRS 2012.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

IPhoto 8.1.2 doesn't work after reinstalled the OS 10.6.8?

iPhoto 8.1.2 doesn't work after reinstalled OS 10.6.8?

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

Does the NavigationController work only when placed in appDelegate?

I am trying to build application that has a tab bar controller with two view and the first view contains a segmented control.
Based on the decision of the segmented control, I load the tableview. The table view has an instance of navigation Controller in which I have assigned the tableview controller as a rootview controller. When I click on any row of the table view, a new controller gets pushed on the table view. In my case, the new view does not show up on the screen, once the row is clicked. I used NSlog and checked that the views pushed on the stack are correct.
I read many threads here and saw that all of them use tabBarController and then it directly uses the navigationController and viewcontroller. Is this the only config that works ?
What if I want to have a tabBarController->tableViewController->NavigationController, isn't it possible? Can anyone please help?

WitchKing wrote:
So, if I understand this fully, I can initialize the navigation controller as soon as the any row is clicked and put the tableView I am on as my rootView for the navController. and also push the next view controller I want to see, on its stack. and present the navigation controller's view.
The usual way to implement a table view drill-down would be to make the first table view (or the content view which includes it) the root view of the nav controller. I.e. the table view's controller would be the root controller. When you do it that way all the objects will do what they were designed to do, and the code to push and pop subsequent views will almost write itself.
However there's no reason you can't do what you described, which (if I understood) would be to attach the nav controller's view to the hierarchy only after a row in the table is selected. Note however, that you couldn't then expect the nav controller to make that first transition from the parent table view. You would have to provide your own transition to the nav controller's view.
You bring up a good point in any case. I never explicitly answered the question in the Subject line of this thread.
does the NavigationController work only when placed in appDelegate?
No, there is no requirement to create a nav controller in any particular position of the view hierarchy. Unlike a tab controller, a nav controller need not be the root of the hierarchy (i.e. added directly to the key window). In fact you'll find several examples in the docs which show one or more nav controllers under some other controller.
there might be some problem with adjusting bar heights and etc though.
I'm not sure you proposed anything that would make it difficult to configure a table view. One nav controller issue that will impact table view position and size is the attempt to hide the nav bar which would otherwise appear above the table. I walked, unsuspecting, into this problem when I tried to help with another, currently ongoing thread that might interest you: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9606805#9606805].
While I'm pasting links, this one is also relevant to your post: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9607946#9607946].
Thank you for the very kind words about my posts. For some reason, this past few weeks I've been spending most of my forum helper time writing about table views and nav controllers. I sure hope I've been dispensing correct information. It's not like I have any knowlege of the internals. These puppies are black boxes to me, so I'm just going by the same docs you have and my own (growing!) collection of test beds.

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card. JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card, is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

Thanks Larry,
I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?
I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens, composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time, camera settings, lens type). A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop. I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day. If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.
