Iphoto 6 help viewer shows wrong info !

ok , i read the help viewer of iphoto , there you can read the follow ;
To create a new photo library:
Quit iPhoto.
Rename your current iPhoto Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your hard disk.
Open iPhoto.
Click Create Library.
etc..
its a nice help story , but where is that click to create library ?
that button doesnt exist...
ooops mistake from apple ....
check for yourself.. iphoto version 6.02
i use macbook pro 2.16 osx 10.4.6
help viewer Version 3.0.0 (144.1)

Hi Peran,
what happens when you rename the current library or move it out of the Pictures folder, then launch iPhoto?
to tell you the truth, it is much easier to hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto until you get the message screen. In that message screen are two buttons: one to "create" a new library, and one to "choose" another library to open.

IPhoto organizing/help viewer

Organizing by date seems inoperable in Faces - how do you use it?
Also, iPhoto Help says it's unable to open that content under the help viewer. I've repaired permissions as suggested in another post to no avail. Any other ideas?

This is strange. Let's make sure I'm on the same page as you are. I click on a face in the Faces window (w/cork board) and bring up all of the faces for that single person that's when I can see and use the sort by date or any other option. The window I'm has a button at the top titles "All Faces". Are we on the same page? I've been off on a tangent before.
This is what I'm referring to-in the faces window for one person:

Data Guard -- v$archive_log applied column shows wrong info

I'm playing with 10g Data Guard. Both Primary and Physical Standby are in Maximum Availability mode. When I query v$archived_log column applied for dest_id=2 (which is physical standby) for some files it shows NO value but alert log on both primary and standby shows file transferred info. Even on physical standby v$archived_log shows log is applied YES value. My question is : So why is Primary database's v$archived_log shows value NO ?
I am trying to setup crontab so that once I see value YES in primary's v$archived_log for dest_id = 2 then I can backup archived log file and delete it from primary database machine. But my perl script won't work because primary v$archived_log shows value NO for applied column for dest_id = 2.
Thanks.

Hi OrionNet,
I think I am looking at the wrong column and also on the wrong database for what I need to do. Let me explain what I am trying to achieve.
I have a shell script to check if archived logs are shipped from Primary to Standby AND if Standby successfully applied it or not. My shell script was looking at Primary databases using following query
select sequence#, archived, applied
from v$archived_log
where dest_id = 2 -- running on Primary BUT looking at standby archived log destination
order by sequence# ;
SEQUENCE# ARCHIEVED APPLIED
=====================
58 YES YES
59 YES YES
*60* YES NO
61 YES YES
After reading [v$archived_log reference entry in manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_1016.htm#REFRN30011]
APPLIED Indicates whether the archivelog has been applied to its corresponding standby database (YES) or not (NO). The value is always NO for local destinations.
This column is meaningful at the physical standby site for the ARCHIVED_LOG entries with REGISTRAR='RFS' (which means this log is shipped from the primary to the standby database). If REGISTRAR='RFS' and APPLIED is NO, then the log has arrived at the standby but has not yet been applied. If REGISTRAR='RFS' and APPLIED is YES, the log has arrived and been applied at the standby database.
You can use this field to identify archivelogs that can be backed up and removed from disk.
I think I should use following query on Standby database and not on primary database
select sequence#, registrar, applied
from v$archived_log
where dest_id = 1 -- query running on standby so dest_id = 1 which is standby archive log destination
and registrar = 'RFS'
order by sequence# ;
SEQUENCE# REGISTRAR APPLIED
=====================
58 RFS YES
59 RFS YES
*60* RFS YES
61 RFS YES
So, my shell script should connect to standby database from primary database and evaluate which archive logs to delete after backup from primary machine.
Now I'll generate some gaps on Standby and check query again to make sure what I understand and expect is correct.
Hope I am clear now. Thanks for your help. My bad, I didn't read the manual correctly the first time.

Calendar year view showing wrong date

My Calendar shows the correct date in the dock, and also in Day, Week and Month view but when I click on Year view it highlights yesterday's date as Today!
Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, have they found a remedy?
Many thanks.

I have noticed a good number of such issues with I-Cal over the last several months. Many, far more serious than this date issue. The new beta version of I-Cal is right around the corner and if it works as it usually does (latest Safari update released yesterday fixed the crash issues), the next update should repair these issues. I hope this helps.

Storage statistics / Disk usage shows wrong info

Hi all!
I've found a very strange bug in OS X Yosemite. The info about storage statistics shown in About my Mac dialog is wrong:
As you can see, I have a 250GB SSD Drive which is 162,87GB used, but App's statistics show 342,48GB used!!! How it could be possible? Anyone has this same issue? Any way to fix it?
Regards.

Thanks Eric!
This solved my issue!!!

Why does my usb flash drive show wrong info?

Hi all, I hope this is a simple question to ask but I have a 1 G flsh drive that I have pretty much filled up with files to transfer to my PC. I have it formatted to FAT32 . I recently erased some files I didn't really need to free up space but when I go to "GET inFO" it still shows as only 4.9mb available even though, by my calculation I deleted about 200mb worth of files to free up space......what gives??

Did you empty the trash after you deleted the files. They may still be there unless you did this. You can use what size to see what all is really there.

SHOWING WRONG INFO IN 'DATA SENSE'

in the morning i checked 4.09gb used in data sense.but same day in evening again i checked for used data and found it was 3.90gb.hows that possible?? help please

Hello, ajit530ds. Is this for both cellular data and Wi-Fi connection? Any particular activity on the phone before checking the data? Have you already tried switching it off/on to check if it will go back to the original details? BTW, is this the first time you encountered this? We tried it on our end and haven't experienced it. But, we suggest monitoring it. We look forward to your reply.

10.4.6 fixed my help viewer!

Yep, it did.
After months of repeatedly going through the routine on Dr. Smoke's site, and it repeatedly failing on Mac Help, it finally works. The first time, it took about 30 sec (on dialup) to open each category, but now it works fine.
One quirk -- there is no spinning wheel while waiting, which may make you think it's not working.

You wrote: "site indeed says it fixes the viewer..."Actually, the exact wording is"Resolves an issue that could cause Help Viewer to sometimes display a blank window."It does not say that the issue was in Help Viewer itself, merely that it could cause Help Viewer to display a blank window. My surmise is that something else was amiss, either in the OS or the Apple Help Sever, or both, that would result in Help Viewer showing a blank window.
As I noted earlier, none of the files contained within the Help Viewer bundle changed from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 when I compare the files' dates. So, it looks like some other OS problem was causing the Help Viewer problem. Perhaps a change in Web Kit.
To see the Contents of the Help Viewer bundle, open System > Library > CoreServices. Control-click on Help Viewer and select "Show Package Contents." Drill-down in the resulting Contents folder.

I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device. Help!!!

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

Cant view photos except one at a time??, and other iphoto weirdness, help!

My iphoto is crazy, it does weird stuff all the time. A few months ago it started randomly eating pictures and a grey block would show up where they used to be. Just recently when I open an event i I can only look at the pics one at a time, not like smaller pictures in rows, where you can select them and do stuff with them. I don't know why it is different!!! I would think I could just change something under view and fix it, but nothing seems to help. Please someone help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

There's a slider lower right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.

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. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

Show view options/Show item info - only half working

Used to be that all my photos in a folder showed the dimension under the name. Now, even tho I do:
Show view options/ and check Show item info, only some of them have the dimensions. And what's really funny is that the portrait oriented pix have the dimensions, but the landscape oriented are missing the dimensions. What's going on here?

must've recently done something to the Landscape ones...
actually, the workflow I mentioned was applied to only one folder of pix, both port. and lands., but now, even other folders are affected, ones that I didn't run the workflow on. If I go to iPhoto, export some pix from last year to a folder (saved to anywhere), same results, port. have the dim.s below, landscapes do not.
And now for something completely diff... So I have a folder of pix on my desktop I just imported from iPhoto. I see dim.s under the port.s, none under the land.s. I open a lands. with preview. I rotate ccl, then clockwise (back to original orientation, right?), save, close preview. There it is in the folder WITH the dim.s under it. What kinda ghost have I got here?
Just to mention, I bought a Touch. It launches iPhoto when I attach it to my MBP (so it can sync the saved photos, only when I have some on the Touch). Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. Tx 4 th response, BD.

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.

Every time I open iPhoto, the program freezes, showing me the spinning rainbow of death. I always need to perform a Force Quit. I have updated my software, but that did not help.
