Iphoto 4.03 failing to start - that old chestnut!

I have had the common problem whereby I tried to start iphoto, only to be faced with the 1st page and loading pictures message, but no photos.
Old Toad and Brie Fly have both suggested alternative solutions on a number of occasions both of which I have used succesfully. What puzzles me is that twice today I have burnt photos to CD or DVD and after each time, iphoto has failed to load so I have had to resort to rebuilding the library and on each occasion this has taken many attempts. Does anyone know why after burning CDs it may do this?

today I have burnt photos to CD or DVD and after each
time, iphoto has failed to load so I have had to
resort to rebuilding the library and on each occasion
this has taken many attempts.
This just happened to me. My iphoto 4.03 library became corrupted after burning a cd for second half of my entire library (total 2700 photos). After burning a CD, I noticed that the CD came up in the iphoto album/library view as a library and iphoto used it when I went to view my recent photos as if it were the main library. I should have noticed something was weird!
After exiting iphoto and later restarting it, iphoto took a long time to load photos and then said it had recovered some photos. After a lot of time trying to figure what happened I noticed that these recovered photos where the entire first half of my iphoto library which wasn't burnt to cd!
Upon each iphoto restart, it would go through the recovered photos again making a new Recovered_photos album each time. And again, and again.
I rebuilt the Library which fixed the repeated recovery problem, but I lost all roll info.

  • Export to word - that old chestnut.

    Hey all,
    I imported a word document to pages, changed it with tracking enabled, saved it as .pages then exported it as .doc
    Now the people that I needed to read it can't. I have two (non computer literate) PC users on the line with MS Office. I sent them the file - apparently it gets halfway through loading then hangs. I've tried on Mac MS Office and it works fine (the only reason I opened it in pages in the first place is because of Microslag's slow-*** adoption of Universal Binary - it often doesn't open at all for me). I've tried various ideas - saving again from office etc. to no avail.
    Anyone know why this isn't working?

  • That old chestnut: Swing Threading - EventQueue

    First of all, I'm sorry if this topic has been done to death already but I really have searched through the forums and tutorials and not found a solution that I can get to work.
    Scenario (the usual):
    - Swing GUI application
    - Button fires off 'IntensiveProcess'
    - Display a 'MessageBox' while 'IntensiveProcess' is running
    Problem:
    MessageBox is not displayed (or is displayed but its contents are not painted - depending on which [incorrect] implementation I try) until IntensiveProcess has finished.
    I have tried all kinds of different ways of accomplishing this but I can't for the life of me get it to work:
    The implementations I have tried involved various combinations of:
    - EventQueue.invokeLater()
    - EventQueue.invokeAndWait()
    - inner and annonymous-inner Runnable classes
    As far as I understand it, the following strategy should work:
    public class MySwingApp extends JFrame
        //create button with Action: DoButtonAction
        private class DoButtonAction extends AbstractAction
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                // ~~~ IMPLEMENTAION 1  ~~~
                EventQueue.invokeLater(new ShowMessageBox());
                EventQueue.invokeLater(new IntensiveProcess());
                // ~~~ IMPLEMENTAION 2 ~~~
                EventQueue.invokeLater(new ShowMessageBox());
                //cannot call invokeAndWait() from Event Dispatcher thread so:
                (new Thread(new Runnable()
                    public void run()
                        EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new IntensiveProcess());
                )).start();
                // ~~~ IMPLEMENTAION 3  ~~~
                EventQueue.invokeLater(new IntensiveProcess());
                //cannot call invokeAndWait() from Event Dispatcher thread so:
                (new Thread(new Runnable()
                    public void run()
                        EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new ShowMessageBox());
                )).start();
                //dispose of message box if user didn't close it
        private class ShowMessageBox implements Runnable
            //display MessageBox...
        private class IntensiveProcess implements Runnable
            //execute intensive process...
    }None of the above 3 implementations yield the correct result.
    Can anyone please point out where I'm going wrong?
    Thanks all.
    John

    I have implemented your suggestion but sadly I am
    getting the same result: the entire GUI hangs until
    IntensiveProcess has completed, and only then is the
    message box displayed.Hmm, with the intenstive process in its own thread (construct() runs in a thread other than EDT) the GUI shouldn't hang like that, I'm not sure why that is. Maybe try invokeAndWait instead. Or, did you try displaying the message box before creating the SwingWorker? Make sure the message box is not modal if you create it before creating SwingWorker.
    I can't grasp why the EventDispatcher thread is
    getting tied up with IntensiveProcess. I thought
    calling EventQueue.invokeLater() (or SwingWorker) is
    supposed allow the executing thread (in my case the
    EventDispatcher thread) to continue. So why is the
    GUI not getting updated and the message box being
    displayed until AFTER IntensiveProcess finishes?As I understand it, invokeLater means stuff this Runnable into the event queue and run it when its turn comes up, while invokeAndWait runs the Runnable immediately. Neither method will wait for another thread to finish like you're expecting, that's what SwingWorker does.
    For some background info, the SwingWorker's construct() method creates a new non-EDT thread, which is where you're supposed to do time-intensive background work, and the code inside the finished() method will be run in the EDT, which is where you're supposed to update Swing components. The major benefit is the happens-before guarantee, construct() will run to completion before finished() is invoked. Maybe you already knew that, but it's important to know so I wanted to make sure.

  • That old chestnut: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** clogging the debug trace

    Hi,
    I am attempting to debug a project for Flash Mobile and getting very irritated by *** Security Sandbox Violation *** warnings whenever I move, touch or interact with the application in any way whatsoever. These typically fire two or three _PAGES_ of warnings for a simple drag operation... Because there are so many of these warnings, the debug trace is effectively redundant and useless unless I actively insert a manual break point immediately after the traces I want to view - fine for a comms operation, not so useful when attempting to debug coordinates for a drag operation.
    The cause, obviously, is that I have loaded external content for display in a SWFLoader component...
    Because I am in AIR for mobile, I cannot access Security to allow the domain and crossdomain from the content provider is ignored or not loaded.
    I have found a number of references to this ranging from very recent to several years ago, such as this one which indicates a) the trace is a bug and b) something was being done about it: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/576999
    I cannot find any reference to a fix ever being implemented and the trace issue is driving me nuts.
    Please, please, please can somebody direct me to a workaround to hide this? I've tried all kinds of disabling for mouse events, keyboard events, mouse children etc.
    Thanks,

  • Credit card update issues.....that old chestnut :(

    I have been trying to update my credit card details via Adobe.com but to no avail. There is NO LINK......no edit details ...nothing!! I sign in using the correct info and navigate to my products and services > scroll to my subscriptions and the only clickable text is 'manage'. So I go ahead and click away and it takes me to Subscription details where it tells me my photoshop/ Illustrator subscription is processing and in red text tells me to go update my credit card details as my card is expired. I would if I could and have tried  for the past few days. There is no 'edit billing' link to click. I have been on the phone with customer service for the woman to tell me 'try again in a few days there is nothing I can do.' I have sat on the online customer service for what seems like forever for it to keep popping up and telling me I have one person ahead of me and it may take 2mins and 47 sec to get to a service person. Longest 2mins 47sec I have ever experienced.
    Adobe all I want to do is update my card details so I can pay you money to use your unreal software...it cant be that hard can it???
    Please tell how me I can do this before my products cease to work!

    Hi Purpledragaon,
    I'll report the Edit Billing option being missing for you. I'm sorry for the inconvienence.

  • HT1420 Trying to get latest version of Itunes and keep getting message that Apple Mobile Devices failed to start, do I have authorization. I am only user.  I have uninstalled old version of ITunes, becuase I kept getting errors. What do i do?

    Last time I opened ITunes, was told I did not have latest version and proceeded to download new version.  As it was loaded, keep getting message that Apple Mobile Devices failed to start, verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services.  I am the only user on the computer and in household. I have tried installing several timees and keep getting same message.
    What should I do?

    Hey CarleneS,
    First, I would try the steps in here:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes, make sure you follow all of the steps in this link:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.

  • TS3694 When trying to download itunes onto my PC I get this message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Veryify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    ON my PC, I attempted to download the update to itunes. It gave me an error message that I wasn't able to do that (and I don't recall the exact words) but telling me to delete the old itunes and download the new update, so I did. But now when I try to update the new itunes, I keep getting this message: Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services! It won't allow me to go any further! How do I fix this? What is the problem?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • HT1386 I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start.  Any ideas why?

    I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start.  Any ideas why.  The ipad is working fine.

    Then I tried to download and install them again but it kept saying the old itunes could not be removed.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I got the MSCVR80.ddl message after I tried to do the latest update on Itunes.  I went in and deleted all the related programs and reinstalled, but I keep getting a message during installation that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Help!

    I was trying to do the latest update on my desktop for my Itunes.  I got MSVCR80.dll is missing.  I saw a post about deleting all the apple itunes programs, restarting and reinstalling.  I tried that.  As it was installing a message came up about "Service'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services.  I did a retry, got the same message, then hit ignore.  It went on.  Then a message popped up saying "Itunes not installed correctly"  Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    Now my Itunes program will not open at all.  What gives?  This is very frustrating and I am not very computer literate to begin with.

  • I tried to update itunes it corrupted the previous version, I'm trying to install new copy get this message "service apple mobile device (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system services." Help!

    Not sure what to do.  I've tried a system restore on my computer after the update in hopes of undoing the problem, that didn't work.  I've tried to install, the new version of itunes for over two days now and I get to the point where it says "starting services" and it almost get's done and then it gives me that message " Service apple mobile device (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privledges to start system services."  Then it gives me three options to click on "abort", "retry" or "ignore".  I've tried to retry over and over and it does no good, I just get the same message.  I've tried ignore and the one time it did finish installing itunes, it didn't work, I got error messages telling me that it failed to download properly and I needed to delete the program and download it again.  I thought maybe it had something to do with my ipod not being pluged into the computer so I pluged that it and it's still giving me the same message.  I just don't know what to do.  I'm very frustrated and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.  I'm completely out of ideas.

  • I have an iphone 5 with iOS 6.  I just  tried to sync it with my itunes account to put new music on my phone and it gave me a message that said the iphone could not be synced b/c "the sync session had failed to start".  How do I fix this?

    You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

    To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.

    Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
    Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
    Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you
