IPhoto '11 Edits are lost while thumbnails still shows the edited version
Hi,
I'm using iPhoto '11 v9.4.3 ( Build 720.91) on Mac OS X v10.8.5 and have my iPhoto Library on a external HDD. One month back, I had moved to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 but then reverted back to Mountain Lion and iPhoto v9.4.3 ( with the help of iPhoto Library Manager v4.0.9 ) due to performance issues on my iMac. Ever since I have been having some inconsistencies in my iPhoto Library, specifically w.r.t. the edits.
iPhoto does seem to retain my edits after a while. Though the thumbnail view ( or browse mode ) shows the edited version of the file, however double-clicking the file opens up the original unmodified version ( in the edit or single photo view mode ).
Browse Mode - below
Single Photo View Mode - below
For the first time, the problem seemed to get resolved for a while, if I do a Repair Permissions on the iPhoto Library ( by pressing Option + Command ). However, now even that has no effect. Even after reparing permissions, Everytime I use the "Repair Permissions" option, I see the iPhoto message "There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto Library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?". Also, The File ->Reveal in Finder menu shows that the "Modified File" option is greyed out.
I have tried the following so far ..
1. Repair Permissions using iPhoto : Used to solve the issue earlier, but no effect now.
2. Repair Library using iPhoto : No joy
3. Manualy changed the permissions for the iPhoto Library & its contents using Terminal command ( sudo chmod -R 777 * ) : No joy
This had happened 2 weeks earlier too, and was only resolved by deleting the whole Event and re-importing the files as a new event and then editing the files which has stuck so far without any issues.
Any suggestions ??
Regards,
RP.
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.

Why still shows the old version after the upgrade?
Hello I have a bit of problem here. I actually upgraded my JDK to 1.5 quite a while ago, but now when I run in the command line:
D:\xmltree>java -version
java version "1.4.2_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)Now the application need to run in the command line using 'java MainClass' requires JDK 1.5...I have it on my pc but how to reflect the newer version to the command line?ThanksSorry I am afraid that I could not help you further (sounds like I had helped you somehow...*wink* ;-). The other thought is that there are different tiers of admins; if you are not the highest one, or he/she does not allocate you the PATH modification privilege, you may still not do that. You may wish to consult with the guy at the highest level, or who set up your account if you did not do it for yourself, if you are not him. Sorry for not being helpful at all and good luck.

Does anyone know why I update an image and when I publish, it still publishes the older version?
I save the file before I publish and it still shows the older version of my image. I went and relinked on the asset panel, but it still shows the old image.
Hi Celson,
Could you please share a URL of the web site and also a screen shot of the desing view?
As Morgan_in_London suggested this could be a cache issue. Either local or server side.

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -

After uploading to the cloud, i lost access to some of my songs. The library still shows the information and there is a cloud download icon but the font color would seem to indicate it has been deactivated (i.e. nothing happens when I click on it).
Problem closed (although not resolved). After working with Apple support, no resolution was found. I asked for a refund of the iTunes match purchase price, which was granted. Interestingly the support tech, who was very nice if not particularly helpful from a technical point of view, spun the "resolution" of refunding my iTunes match purchase price as a positive one, here is a quote from the final email
"I'm glad to hear that you're not having issues with the songs you've purchased. Nothing makes Apple happier than to hear that our customers concerns have been rectified."
It is notable that I never had an issue downloading music directly purchased thru the iTunes store, the only issue that existed was downloading songs that I ripped from my CD collection and "matched".
I'm happy that I received my money back, however I wish that the iTunes Match service worked for me (I was looking forward to this service). I'm most upset at the time I wasted trying to fix this problem.
I'll now download music the old fashioned way: syncing with iTunes directly. -
A user uploads a new pdf (using Dreamweaver) but still gets the old version back in browser.
She downloads the file from the site, and gets the old version of the file instead of the one she just uploaded. I tried it myself and everything is done correctly: the new file is on the server but download keeps displaying the old version. Dreamweaver ticks off the bytes as they are going upstream. I can RDP to the server and see that the newer version is there (by datetime stamp). She is using IE 8 if relevant.
This only happens with pdf, no caching is turned on in IIS6 - all content updates are instant.
I have gone in to the temp internet files and deleted the cached version of the file and emptied the trash (Win XP) but it still serves the old version.
This issue has been reported by other users, but I thought it was user error until it was staring me in the face.
My final verification was to upload the new document with a new name, delete the old document, and rename the new name to the old name - after that it delivered the new document
How do I tell the (non-tech) user fix this?
I've seen references to this on other sites (now that I know it is real, I dug deeper) but the solutions proposed mostly seem to involve changing the query string by adding somthing to the end of it.
This is out of reach of my user.
I can't be the first person to encounter this right?
And note that I went into the server... the document was uploaded, and IIS caching is off.
I was told by someone here (and I can't reproduce it in my office) that I should tell the user to go to Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Internet.
Then tell her to uncheck all three boxes (display in browser, allow fast, and allow speculative)
But I don't see how that would fix it - remember that I deleted the pdf from the internet cache and that didn't solve it.
Thanks,
-Chris C. 1972I've faced this before too.
I've tried many different approaches but the most reliable way I've ever found of handling it is to rename the new PDF each time (e.g. adding the revision date into the filename) and update the link in the web page to point to the renamed PDF.
Works every time.

I have photoshop elements,i wanted to edit videos,was offered 30day trial of the premiere version
after downloading,i had to resart my laptop.when i tried to open photoshop elements now,it takes ages to load and when it does,is very unresponsive.i have since found out that my original version has gone and am being promted on screen that i will need to pay for the premeire version when the 30days is up.when downloading the premiere trial version,i was not warned this would happen and that my verrsion of elements would be lost.
any help?
richardJust a further clarification: Premiere Elements doesn't mean fancy deluxe PSE. Just as Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of Adobe's professional photo editing program, called Photoshop, Premiere Elements is the consumer version of Adobe's professional video editing program, Premiere.
Photoshop Elements is only for editing still photos, not movies. -
I have changed the dates of photos in an event, but the event is still showing the original dates.
I have a batch of old photographs that I have recently scanned and imported into iPhoto 11. In iPhoto I changed the dates to the dates when the original photos were taken (between 1971 and 1976) using the "Adjust Date and Time" and "Batch Change" menu options. This works fine as each photo now shows the date on which it was taken rather than the scan date which appeared when the photos were imported. However, the event itself still shows the scan dates so it does not appear in the right place when sorting by date. I'm finding this most perplexing because I have many scans of old photos (one goes back to 1900) and have been able to change dates of individual photos and the event has followed suit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Within minutes of posting this question I fixed the problem. It's just a matter of holding down the Option and Apple keys while launching iPhoto and then repairing the library database from the list of options that pops up on the screen. Easy really. Just took me two days to work it out.

Hello, didnt really know hwere to post this guess it more belong under like "computers" generally,
but! For a while...
(-THE LONGER VERSION) :
No whait!, let me start where it all began, 2009, a december (erhh.. iii think? Hwatever!) litlle me hwere nearly Totally blank to the computer world. And suddenly it stood there on the table, a shining (it was shining back there) new "hp pavillion entertainment pc" with its smell of fresh plastic mixed hwith the strong smell from the cardboardbox, remember it as if it were yesterday
... Since then.... I have today a good solid pc knowing! (at more advance level cmd,bott menu, recovery, blah, blah... NERD!) here at the last awhile, ive prommised to make a lot! A lot of video projects!
(okay 2, but some big ones!) avchd multilayer 2 hours!!!!
So the poor hp laptop -dual core i2 4gb ram, has been begged to it knees! And simply cant handle it of course! and it have just trough time benn loaded with lots of crap, and is extremly noisy, heat, slow, anoying = unusable!
SO hwat i need is...
(-THE SHORTER) :
A computer setup that will EASILY! could handle stuff like that (avchd, multilayer, 2 hours project) -and simmilar. A total power machine! But Im tired of windows! And ugly cheap looking design! The times have changed and i change with them!
NOW I WANT APPLE!!
But but but... Hwat should i get????
1. Im NOT a billionare!
2. I repeat: NOT a billionare!
3. I also need portability for every day use beyond the hardcore creative editing and use
AT LAST:
i saw in front of me this genius plan... With a macbook pro, a tuned one, with as much of ram,cpu,gpu, and everything else as it can posibble have
-the perfect combination of transportabillity, everydayuse and total power!
When it gets combine with,
A cinemadisplay
A extra keyboard
And a extra magic mouse
And this power macbook pro, with screen, mouse, and keyboard i've found a really good offer at.
MY ACTUAL QUESTION.... :
Now it is yours turn to please! be creative! Please! Hwat does all you genius heads! think and say?
WILL A super tuned MACBBOK PRO COMBINED WITH ACCESSORIES, AT ALL, BE ABLE TO REPLACE A STRONG MAC PRO, OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF? And if yes, HOW strong actually (ram,cpu,gpu...) will it need to have to be "more than enough"?
If no, what would all of you then suggest that is perfect in relation to everything?
PLEASE ANSWER!!Jonatan R. wrote:

No,
the MacPro is the muscle machine and not constrained by power or cooling limitations like the MacBoo Pro is.
OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF?
If you press the MacBook Pro like a desktop machine, it will blow fans like a hurricane but will do the job eventually.
The longer you blow fans on a laptop, the sooner it clogs up with crippling dust and shortens the life of the machine.
You'll need the top end 15" or better, not the 13" as it has no dedicated graphics, only CPU graphics.
Preferably if you just now getting into video, you should be considering Avid on a Windows 7 tower, it's because Apple has been ignoring the MacPro for hardware updates to improve it and it seems like they don't want to carry it anymore. Also the last Final Cut Pro version had Hollywood up in arms as Apple removed a lot of required abilities to make it more "consumer friendly" which upset the Pro market who likes control.
Apple is focusing on the consumer computing market and getting away from the "Pro" market which needs the heavier hardware to handle video needs. They stopped selling the X-RAID and the X-Server, so Apple really isn't a "computer" company any longer.
Sure you can use a MacBook Pro and a external monitor for doing home movies and such occasionally, but if your into serious production you need to consdier other options now.
There is nothing wrong in getting a MacBook Air and a Windows 7 professional video tower too. -
I don't know what to do. My iPhone 4 just all of a sudden had a blank white screen. It still shows the bar at the top with the signal, time, and battery life. But the rest of the screen is white. If I touch the screen it acts like it's selecting something and gives me the choice to "Copy". It will still charge when I plug it up, but i cannot turn it off or lock the screen. I tried leaving it alone for awhile to see if it will lock on its own, like it normally would, and all it does is dim the screen. I guess im going to try to just let it die, and then see what happens, but if anyone else has any suggestions (other than taking it in to be looked at or getting a new phone) I would greatly appreciate it!
Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being usedI think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

I accidentally deleted GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
Is it possible to still get the older version?
Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.
