IPhoto 6: can't find drives

I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6 on my Macbook Pro with 10.4.11. I have a few files that are on separate hard drives. The problem is that if I don't have those drives hooked up, iPhoto can't find the files, and it hangs the whole program. I do see a dialog box with "find files" and "cancel" but I just get the evil color pinwheel and can't select anything, or even quit.
Is there any way to have it just skip missing files? What should I do?
thanks
Scott

1) I don't like to copy all of the files to my iPhoto Library because it would quickly fill up my local drive.
So put the Library on the external drive.
2) I use iPhoto as a catalog for a lot of stuff on my computer - videos as well as images. As drives fill up I add new ones. Many of those files are quite old and I'll probably never look at them again, but it's annoying to have to find an old drive and hook it up just so iPhoto doesn't hang.
Having Managed Libraries on each drive will sort that out... or a couple of large drives.
But what won't work is what you're doing...

    Photos on iPad and iPhone as Events that i have already deleted in iPhoto and can't find out how to delete?!

    I had an album on my iPad that didn't have a delete option. I was able to finally remove everything by connecting the iPad to iTunes and going to the Photos tab. Select sync photos. It will ask you if you want to replace all photo on iPad with sync photos. Apply the setting and then un-sync photo again. It will then remove all photos on iPad starting with a clean slate.
    Be sure to backup all your photos before doing this. Hope that helps.

  • Can't find driver for SB0

    Hello,
    I have an Audigy card (SB0230), and I can't find a driver for it. I tried few solutions, and here are what I done already:
    - I tried to install the newest driver from creative.com for Audigy board, but installer don't recognized my card and stopped.
    - I installed KX Audio driver. Everything went ok, installer recognized my card and I had sound, but I bought this card not only for music, but for games too, so lack of EAX led me to uninstall this driver.
    - I tried from the other side with the official driver. I unpacked it with WinRAR, installed it from Device Manager. It told me that this driver is not compatible with my device, but I ignored it and after restart I heard sound Unfortunetly, as for now I don't have any control over the card. Even Realtek has a control panel, so I figured out, that I must run installer to do something with my card, than just set volume :P Am I right? Where can I find driver for it's
    I have Windows Vista, but in XP everything was the same (and I used KX in XP).

    For Vista try this one,

    In iPhoto, how can I find a particular event using the search function?

    NO - read my last answer over a year ago
    That is because iPhoto is all about photos - not about files
    You do not access the piles in iphoto - you access the photos using either iPhoto or the media browser - see this user tip for photo access details

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Can not find driver for Thinkpad T500

    I can not find driver for Thinkpad T500? Could you please help me?
    Moderator edit: Matched Subject to content.

    Thanks to the folks at Kepware. I was able to get this working for CompactLogix L32E.
    Step 1: In NI OPC Server Create a new Channel. Channel Name can be whatever you want.
    Step 2: Device driver will be ControlLogix Ethernet.  You can also enable diagnostics if you want.
    Step 3: Network adapter. I used default setting.
    Step 4: Write only latest values.  Duty at 10. ( These are default settings and are recommended.)
    Step 5: Finish new Channel setup
    Step 6: Click on Icon to create new device
    Step 7: Device Name can be whatever you chose.
    Step 8: Select Device Model in this case CompactLogix 5300
    Step 9: Device ID For me was IP Address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,1,0    (Note the 1 directs path to backplane. The 0 to the slot where processor is)
    Step 9: Device timing.  Leave at defaults.
    Step 10: Auto demotion leave unchecked.
    Step 11: Leave at defaults Do not generate on startup Delete on create and allow subgroups
    Step 12: Port and watchdogs at default settings
    Step 13: Project options leave at default. (In my case I changed to short as that is what most of my tags were)
    Step 14: Create tagname from device.
    Step 14: Finish Device setup.
    You now have two options. 
    Option 1: Start creating tags as you need them. (This is what I did)
    Option 2: Right Click newly created device and select properities.  Then select database creation and click auto create.
    Go To Lookout  and create new driver. 
    Select OPC Client
    Server name will be from dropdown menu. National Instruments:NIOPCServers
    Click okay
    You should be done and smiling. 

  • 10.5.5 update hangs panic msg. can not find driver for 7,2,5 system dualG5

    Down loaded 10.5.5 and ran it, loaded software and rebooted on G5 Dual 2Ghz system.

  • Can't find driver for printer

    I have an HP PSC 750 connected to an airport express base station. It shows up in the printer browser when I click the add printer button (it says Bonjour under the connection type). However, under the 'print using' drop menu it won't auto select a driver and I've tried several HP drivers that were in the list and they did not work correctly (I just got pages of random letters and numbers when I tried to print). So I installed the software from the HP website and if I connect the printer directly to the computer this works fine. However, not with airport express - the HP setup assistant has a thing that searches for the printer and it can find it when connected directly to the computer (USB) but it can't find it on airport (it has a TCP/IP option for typing in the network address of the printer but I'm not sure what that would be or if thats even applicable to this case). So I guess my question is: Can I even use this software with the printer on airport or do I need to do something else?
    Thanks very much for any help!

    henry, i've noticed you've solved several users' problems printing over airport. i'm hoping you can solve mine: i have a g5 imac running os v10.4.2 which cannot seem to print via airport express' usb to an hp color laserjet 2600n. when i run printer setup utility there is no driver selectable for the 2600n (however there is when it's connected directly to the imac via usb). when i select a generic hp color laserjet driver, the 2600n shows up via bonjour in my print dialog box, but nothing ever prints. meanwhile, my g4 powerbook running v10.3.9 can print to the 2600n over airport with no problems (and its printer setup sees a driver for the 2600n via rendezvous). i've contacted hp support and they've deemed it an airport issue. any clues? thanks!

  • I upgraded to the new operating system, OS Yosemite. When I open iPhoto, I can't find my pictures that were downloaded over the last two years. Where are they?

    I upgraded operating systems and now I can't find my photos in iPhoto. There are only random photos, but I can't find all the other albums I had. Where are they?

    Silly question first... when "deleting duplicates", did you delete the picturs or music folders? :}
    Are the "Previous system" folders still there? Are the photos/music inside the recent Previous folder?
    Have you tried doing a search for the files?
    Do you have a new account set up, that you are now signed in to, rather than your old account?

    Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
    If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba.
       Get Recovery Media

  • Iphoto message can't find image

    I imported 80 photos into iPhoto 11. Ejected SD card properly. Created an album. Now I go to download or copy-off one of the images and it says, "Can't find [IMG1234] reconnected the disk..."
    Why?

    Sounds like you're running a Referenced Library:
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 

  • IBook G3-Reinstall Tiger-Can't Find Driver

    I have an old G3 (500MHZ) running Tiger and had the hard drive fail.  I replaced the hard drive and couldn't find my Tiger disk (think I donated it with a desktop G4 several years ago).  Therefore, I loaded in Panther and it works fine accept I'd like to get back to Tiger. 
    I acquired another Tiger starup disk set (2 disks).  When I try to go through the install process, the machine restarts on Disk1 and then freezes with the error message: "Unable to find driver for this platform: Powerbook 4,1."   Were there different startup disks for desktops than portables with Tiger (perhaps I have a desktop startup pair)?  Is there a source where I can download the required driver?
    Help will be greatly appreciated.

  • NI USB-8473 Windows can not find Driver

    After I install my CAN Software 2.6.1 and connect my USB device, Windows starts the Hardware Wizard but, can not find the Drivers for this device.  I started out with 2.4 and uninstalled and reinstalled it which did not help and then I upgraded to 2.6.1.  This did not seem to help either.  My impression is that this is something to do with Windows or the computer, but I thought I would ask if anyone has seen this problem before in case it is a hardware or software issue.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post.  The NI-CAN driver is an inf file titled nican.inf.  Instead of automatically detected the driver in the Found New Hardware Wizard, try browsing to the nican.inf file.  This file is found in the following directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-CAN\staging.
    If this doesn't work, I would run the Microsoft Windows cleanup utility linked below and remove all NI-CAN registries from your system and then reinstall the driver once again.

  • HP DeskJet 9650 Can't Find Driver

    It had been working. Printing in color and doing exactly what it was suppose to do. It decided not to print in color. Went in and found out that it was using the driver for a hp laserjet printer. Can't find the driver for the hp9650 even though I installed in on the computer from the disc itself. HELP.

    Right now I am able to print in black with my HP Deskjet 9650 with the driver set as HP LaserJet 1010 - Gutenprint v.5.2.3. If I change it to another HP driver such as 970C -Gutenprint v. 5.2.3 it will print in color a tiny part of the page in color as if you had double vision. There are two tiny parts of the page side by side.
    Even went to HP and downloaded the latest version of the driver for my printer. What is confusing me is that even after downloading the latest version of the driver, I am not seeing it listed under the section where the drivers are listed. Seeing everybody else (HP included) just not HP DeskJet 9650. At this point I would take 9600.
    I really do appreciate all of you suggestions.
    Just switched back to Mac after using Windows for years. Been a great experience except for this. Wondering if I should go back to the OS that came with my Mac? Printer was clicking along in color before updating to OS X.
