IPhoto 8.1.2 - on a teacher's iBook: Worked flawlessly 2 weeks ago. Now it continues to lock up, it often will not import scans, I can not rotate a picture - it just flips back and forth. HELP I need to get a project out!

I created a beautiful Keepsake book a week or so ago. It worked flawlessly. Since - I've had several problems (nothing has changed on the computer/system). iPhoto will frequently lock up causing me to force quit. Other times, upon opening, it says that I don't have permission or something to open it. It often is not importing a scan saying it is an unrecognizable format (it's what I used before). When trying to rotate a photo it keeps flipping back and forth and wont stay put.
iPhoto 8.1.2
I've run Disk Utilities multiple times - fixes for about 1-2 scans/launches of iPhoto
I've restarted the computer.
I've tried to update - but can't locate a version my computer will allow me to update to.
Using an HP C3180 scanner/printer --- that is also recently not working ---- locks up, takes FOREVER to scan and then show up on the desktop.
HELP ME!!!! We're trying to get 2 books out for our students before the end of the school year.
Thanks

Sounds like your Library is corrupted to me. Simple solution: restore form your back up.
Other than that:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

When i try to purchase an app that is free, i click the install green button and it just goes back to the free button and i can't download it? it just toggles back and forth between free and install. Please help.

When I try to purchase any free app, I try to click the green install button and it toggles between the install and free icons in the app store. Tried rebooting and also syncing iphone to computer but no luck. Any suggestions?

If resetting the iPad doesn't help, try these things.
Quit the App Store app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download an app again.
If that fails, try downloading something in iTunes. There is free content in there so find something that you don't have to pay for and download it. If that works, try the App store again.

My iPod touch 4 is not operating. Whenever I try to type in my pssword, the logo shows up. And this just goes back and forth. What should I do??

This started a week ago, I turned off my ipod, and it could not be turned back on again. So I held the sleep button and the home button simultaneously for ten seconds, and my iPod responded, the logo appeared. And my iPod worked perfectly for a week, when the same problem appeared last night, I tried to use the tip which I used last week. But a new problem appeared. The logo showed up, and when I tried to type in my password, the logo appear on the screen again, and this just goes back and forth. I can't type in my password. This is driving me crazy, Pleeeeaze, someone please help me!!!!

Have you tried connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring the iPod?

Apple TV 2 - Does the display flip back and forth ?

The original Apple TV had an irritating feature whereby the on-screen image would flip back and forth every 30 sec or so. There was no way to disable this feature, and it ruined an otherwise good product (IMO).
Can anyone tell me if the ATV 2 also has this feature, and if it has, can it be disabled ?

Actually it is unnecessary, unless you use a CRT or plasma TV.
Not in all cases.

I suspect modern LCD panels are better but I used to get awful image retention on an LG LCD.
It was worse than effects I get on my current plasmas.
Anyway, I agree the flipping artwork is pretty annoying - I usually just turn the TV off with AppleTV 1 and use the iPhone to control the audio. I've not tested AppleTV2 hooked up to the hi-fi but some suggest you can't get audio when TV is off as the loss of HDMI comms puts AppleTV2 to sleep.

Creating a button that flips back and forth on iPad in InDesign through DPS

How do I create a button that flips back and forth on iPad in InDesign through DPS. I saw it on a food magzine on an ipad ... it's just a circle with text it in, when you click it the whole circle flips to the other side and there is a different color with different text. The circle does not change position, it just flips. Again, I want to do this so it shows up on the ipad through DPS.
Thanks,
Jay

You need to create a Web overlay. There's an HTML example you can download and repurpose in this article:

How do I disable the flipping back and forth between pages with PgUp and PgDn? Please tell me that I can!

As of Firefox 4, it seems to have been decided that PgUp and PgDn are now buttons with which you flip back and forth between pages. To me, this essentially means almost losing valuable information because I actually use those to go up and down pages, so I wonder; How do I disable this new and utterly inconvenient feature?
Please tell me that I can!

In your system details, I see this plug installed: ''Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.0''
You also appear to have a later one, though still out of date installed namely, ''Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 ''
First of all, click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the Macromedia version.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and update the other one.
If the problem persists afterwards, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Is it possible to have the new podcast down load to the bottom of the list so i can hear them in order. instead of flipping back and fort?

is it possible to have the new podcast down load to the bottom of the list so i can hear them in order. instead of flipping back and fort?

Yes. What I did was create a smart playlist for "Genre=Podcast" and "Plays=0" (don't use Media Type, then it won't syc). Order the playlist by the date of the podcast, and make sure your podcasts are set to skip when shuffle. Works like a charm.

Front Row flipping back and forth

Is there a way to prevent front row from flipping the artwork and the progress bar back and forth every so often. I find it distracting when I am playing music. It catches my eye every time it makes the switch.

My understanding for Apple TV and Front Row 2 having this 'flipping' feature, is to avoid screen burn in. As one can imagine, over the life of the product one is likely to be playing music for a fair amount of total time and a static image would potentially burn in on a Plasma screen (while this is supposed to be practically impossible on an LCD I have seen it happen on really old ones as well).
As a large HDTV can cost thousands, Apple are trying to be helpful (and avoiding future blame).
However while the principal behind this feature is good, and the implementation novel, I don't think it is the most aesthetically pleasing (it is too distracting).
TVs displaying stations which have a 'DOG' (Digitally Originated Graphic) i.e. a permanent station logo on screen are an even bigger problem (as the Apple TV and Front Row currently cannot display TV it is not directly related to them). A different method some TVs have built in themselves is to subtly move the picture down a pixel, left a pixel, up a pixel, right a pixel so as to move the fixed image around the screen. However the movement is so small it only helps a minute bit, at least it is far less distracting.
Note: Stations with 'DOGs' are loathed by AV aficionados.
Considering Apple have picked up other iTunes related features from external developers (e.g. Coverflow), perhaps they should pickup JewelCase from Optical Alchemy see http://www.opticalalchemy.com/products.html this can in iTunes display a rotating CD jewel case with the iTunes artwork and the list of tracks showing. Something along these lines would thinks to its movement avoid burn in and look far more attractive and less distracting.

I want Firefox to not be so wide so I need to scroll back and forth with much needed larger text

I want to have large text, but narrower windows. Every time I need to make text larger for certain sites; it makes my viewing window wider so I have to scroll back and forth to read. I once had an add on to keep the window the same size in width, just with longer windows, which I don't mind. I can't remember what it was called. Therefore I can't find it to download.
Please help.

Thanks for the help, Gryllida, I've tried the zooming in/out feature, but it seems to only work on the headers or headlines on some sites; and still the reading text stayed small. I think I'll try the extension instead.
Boy, I do remember using Opera too.
My new computer came yesterday, I'm going to install Ubunbtu instead of windows. It's a barebones kit.

Does ANYONE know what to do with the iTunes problem, it was working OK 2 weeks ago now has an error and wont open? getting so frustrated!!!

Heeeelp!!!!!!

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

My iPod nano will not put the pictures i want on my iPod. Help!

Ok, so i connect my iPod to my computer, and i select the files with the photos i want in them. From there i click apply, and it will say its syncing, and about 2 or 3 minutes later, it says it is done, but the pictures are not there? How do i fix this?

Plug it into power (a wall charger is best) let it charge for at least 30 minutes then Reset it while it is connected to power. May take several tries.

Zoom while video recording (bug) - Video flickers back and forth on playback

Using iphone 5s iOS 7.0.2
If i zoom slowly during video recording, when playback the video, during the period i zoomed in or out, it just flickers back and forth (in and out). which ruins all the video.

I just tried it on my iPhone. Same specs. No issues. I'm assuming you're doing playback on your phone?

How do I temporairily stop using Fire Fox? I'd like to switch back and forth with IOE.

When I first got FF, I had to click on the icon to turn it on. That was great. Now it seems to have taken over as my only operating system. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth with IE as I have lots of info located on the hard drive in places which seem easier to get to with IE. When I turn off my computer I click on the FF icon and turn it off, but to no avail. Not only is it there when I start up my machine again, it has saved some of the items which I worked on prior to shuting it down. It's becoming a real pain!!!!

Just open Internet Explorer! You can even use Firefox and IE at the same time, if you care to - Firefox doesn't stop you from using another browser, either ny itself or when Firefox is running.
