IPhoto 9.1.5 on my imac and MBP has gone really slow when editing etc.

I have noticed that on both my machines iPhoto hangs continuosuly when edits are made to the picture such as denoise etc. It hangs when moving to the next picutre and sometimes I have to Force Quit. I have reinstalled iPhoto, repaired the photo library, tried logging into my mac on a different account, repaired disk permissions etc. The fault still occurs. I am using Leopard and hardly use my MBP apart from installing the regular software updates which I believe might be to blame.

The database is corrupted.
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. .

Can I download FCPX on my imac and MBP using the same apple ID?

Hello, I am just wondering how it works with mac store apps. I use both my imac and MBP for my work. Will I have to re buy FCPX for both, or can I use it on both with the same apple id? This works with apps on my 2 iphones and ipad, but I was not sure about imac and MBP.
Thank for any info you can give

Don't mention it. Although I'm one of those dispised Americans. Worse yet, I come here for four or five months then leave. Then I tell all our American friends awful lies about Canadians.

Can I sync my iMac and MBP in word processing?

Is it possible to sync an iMac and MBP when doing word processing? If so, how can it be done?
I know there are programs that can sync iCal bewteen the two such as BusyMac. Is there one that do the same thing with a word processor?
Thanks.

If you keep you documents in the same folder on both units it is possible. I usually just pick up the folder and drag to the one that has the older files. This way the folders remain updated.
You can also use Mobile Me, something I do not have to much knowledge on.

I've set up a new iMac and transferred my library. Now, when I switch on iTunes Match it gets to about 25% on stage 1 and just stops working, Anyone know how to fix this?

Ok, so the likely cause is 1 or more Songs are tripping up iTunes Match. To resolve, move to Song view, switch on iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields - sort the view on iCloud Status - identify Songs with status other than Purchased, Matched or Uploaded. Temporarily remove them from the library, allow iTunes Match to complete the 3-step process. Gradually import the Songs back in - any that cause a repeat failure, place in a playlist, burn to audio CD and import as 256k AAC.
Note: iTunes Match service in UK at present is intermittant, may be worth trying from 1200 tomorrow to give Apple the chance to complete its current updates.

Since I installed IOS 8.0.2 (was ok on IOS7),on my iPad 4 "photos" don't scroll properly, it freezes and staggers, it's really slow to scroll to the bottom of the page (in Album, Events From My IMac) it's very annoying!

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

You need to either buy and install Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store, or purchase an iWork 09 DVD, or use a product such as OpenOffice instead of Keynote.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let me refer you to an excellent website about maintaining Mac OS X. It also has great troubleshooting tips and ideas. The site is maintained by a regular contributor to the Apple Discussions, Dr. Smoke. The site is the X Lab.
Some of the things that you might try are Repairing Permissions from Apps/Utilities/Disk Utility. Resetting the PRAM. Also making sure that the Cron Scripts have actually been running on your Mac. The X Lab can instruct you in all of these ideas and more.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

Do you also connect the external USB drive to the AC power as well while you use it ?
Sometimes USB external drive problems are resolved simply by plugging them into the mains power and trying again.

My I pad has a red blotchy screen and keypad has gone blue? Any ideas how to solve?

MY iPad has a red blotchy screen and keypad has gone blue, any ideas if I can rectify this?

This happened to me a few times. Take the case off and sit down, give it (Back side of ipad) a hard smack on your thigh, but do it in a way that the back lands flat on your leg. There are some component cables that can come loose and this smacking motion can cause them to go back into place.

My 2011 MBP has begun running slow with frequent 'spinning beach ball' events. I'm running Yosemite and wondered if I should of use the original install disk for a maintenance reinstall. I presume I'd have to download Yosemite again, though I'd be happy just using Snow Leopard again too.
Thanks for the help.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
