IPhoto and Hompage - possible solution

I just want to share my (positive) experience with this problem that I have had and have been working around since February.
The problem: iPhoto will not upload to Homepage. The 'Connecting' dialogue comes up and the themes selector appears albeit without any themes, thumbnails and all the image names are jumbled up. Sound familiar?
I have contacted .Mac support, though helpful their advice might be, the problem still existed.
The solution: Since I like in the UK, I've set my Languages to British Enlgish.
By adding "English" to the top, restarting/logging out then in, you'll find that iPhoto is once more talking and working with Homepage.
To set your language:
1) Open up System Preferences
2) Click on "International"
3) On the 'Languages' tab, click "Edit"
4) Select "English"
5) Now click OK.
6) Drag English to the top of the list so that your other languages (if any) are below it.
Et voila!
It worked for me. YMMV.

MERCI !!!!! I've been having this problem for two weeks, because my language was set to french... You really helped :o) Thanks a lot.

IPhoto freezing? Possible solution

I had the issue where iPhoto would hang for 10-30 seconds, freezing my iMac. I tried clearing caches, trashing preferences, rebuilding the library, repairing permissions, reinstalling iLife. No joy.
So I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the DVD over the top of my existing build (which you can do without killing the system). Problem appears to be solved (touch wood, fingers crossed etc).
So I offer it to those still having problems - it might work for you too

I have the white 24" iMac Intel core 2 duo with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and am seeing the iPhoto crash on my user account libraries, regardless of whether I create a new one or use my existing library.
I have a few questions:
When you say you Check backup in step 1, what does that mean? Are you using Time Machine as your back-up solution?
Yes I am - I mean check to make sure the backup is in good shape. If you're not sure, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to be sure. It's very unlikely that you'll need the backup, but I don't want to encourage you to try something that causes you problems. That's why I suggest you make sure you have a viable backup first
Is the combo update the Software Update that applies through System Preferences, or a specific file you download from an Apple web page?
You go to the Apple menu (top right of your menu bar) and select Software Update. It will recognise that you need to apply all the updates to get you to the current level, and offer to download the correct combination of updates
Did you delete iLife '11 from your iMac before reinstalling Snow Leopard off the disc, or just leave iLife '11 on there and reinstall after reinstalling Snow Leopard?
I just reinstalled it. But deleting it might be a useful step

Flash not working in Safari (and Chrome and Firefox) - possible solution

Yesterday my Mac crashed (actually when I was away from it) and when it rebooted, Adobe Flash would freeze any web browser it ran in (Safari, Firefox and Chrome - which surprised me as I thought it used a different version of Flash). Great with so many live-blogs happening in the world of news right now.
I tried all the usual suspects:
* Deleted browser caches;
* Uninstalled Flash (Adobe have an uninstaller available) and reinstalled the same version;
* Uninstalled Flash and reinstalled the newest version;
* Made sure I had no duplicate fonts (I did) as I'd experienced problems with this with an iPhoto upgrade;
* Checked recent upgrades (iWeb and Camera updates) to see what they installed (nothing dangerous);
* Fixed permissions (they needed it);
* Tried running Safari under 32-bit (didn't think that would work as I hadn't updated Flash itself);
* Signed in as another user.
None worked.
As a last resort, I downloaded the latest version of the Onyx utility (freeware) and ran the Maintenance scripts, then, under Cleaning, deleted System cache, User cache, Internet stuff (left the cookies), and Font caches (you'll need to Close all the dialog boxes then Restart at the end). Expect a long reboot.
That worked.
It may not work for everyone but may for someone.

I was having the same issue. I logged into another account, a plain no add-ons account and found that I could view flash content with Safari OK. That mean that there was some preference file in my primary account that was the culprit.
Here's how to cull out the bad apple (pun intended):
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
This cleared it up. I ended up with 16 items that were not put back in the preference folder.
Hope this will work for some of you.
Do you Twango?

Can't add Printers in Mavericks, and a possible solution

I came here looking for an answer to this problem, and then was able to fix it, so I thought I would share it for others. I have a Lexmark X6600 all-in-one. It's maybe 3 or 4 years old. Still works great.
With the various OS updates since I got it, and new printer drivers, everything worked fine, except I could no longer print wirelessly. That wasn't a problem however because my printer was close enough to my iMac that I would plug in a USB cable. My son's MacBook Pro could print wirelessly because he was still running the older drivers, so the new drivers must have been an issue. I updated to Mavericks from Mountain Lion the day it was released. The printer and scanner worked fine.
Mavericks ran great at first, but then started getting slow, with lots of spinning beachballs, and things like the Finder crashing and becoming unresponsive, etc. Even though Activity Monitor would show 70% idle time on the CPU, clicking on things like the menu bar would cause more spinning or just wouldn't do anything. The Finder would take over 5 minutes to draw the contents of a window. I also could not shut down or restart. So I decided to do a fresh backup (I use Carbon Copy Cloner), and wipe the hard drive, and do a fresh install of Mavericks. The contents of my hard drive had been migrated through several computers, going all the way back to a G4 Digital Audio, so I'm sure there was lots of junk.
So I did that last night, and then restored from the backup. The Mac runs so much better now. However, I had no printer listed in Printers & Scanners, and clicking on the Add Printer button would pull up a blank window. So I downloaded the latest printer drivers from Apple/Lexmark, and installed them. Still no luck. When looking in the Lexmark folder in /Library/Printers, the driver was missing, and it only had some of the other files that were in my backup. So I tried copying them over, and repaired permissions, and still no luck. I went back to the driver version before that, and still nothing.
Finally, remembering that my son's MacBook could print (He's still running Lion), I downloaded the drivers for 10.6. This driver is known as 6600SeriesWebInstaller1.1.0. Not only did this fix it, but it allowed me to print wirelessly! Scanning through Image Capture is broken, but the included Lexmark 5600-6600 Series Center app scans just fine. So there seems to be an issue with the newer printer software. It wont even install properly. So, for those having problems with printers, and reinstalling the newer drivers, try one of the older ones.

Hi samuelfromkenosha!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, assuming your Wi-Fi connection is working properly, you may need to try restoring your Apple TV:

However, if your Wi-Fi connection or AirPort Extreme is not working, you will want to use this article to aid you in resetting it up properly:

HDCP Error - and a possible solution

I saw some earlier threads on problems people ran into with HDCP errors -- basically viewing HD movies on external displays.
Here's my story: I am using
13" MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo (The MacBook 5,1)
1Tunes 9.1
MiniDisplay port
The video out is the mini DVI (I think that is what it s called, the machine was bought in late '08).
Anyhoo, I was playing DVDs with no problem by connecting the computer thru a VGA adapter to my Sharp TV. Then I downloaded some HD TV shows (Doctor Who episodes as it happens) and when I tried this configuration I got the HDCP error. I thought I was limited to watching the HD content on my 13" screen, which is a bit of a bummer. BUT I went to the Apple store and got a dongle for MiniDisplay to DVI, and then bought a DVI to HDMI cable. Viola! No error. I just use the HDMI input on the TV.
Now, I have a question:
iTunes has an update. Should I be afraid to use it? I have this lingering fear that if I update I'll get the HDCP error again.
Any thoughts? Ideas? I'd be curious to know if anyone has a link to Apple's stated policy here.
Thanks!

Alanterra,
Sorry to hear about the poor service. I will tell you that I have never had to use Applecare with any of my own machines, and the only experience I have had with Applecare/Apple repairs was with a friend's G3 iBook.
I met this friend while performing with an opera company on a 10-week tour of the US. In the first week of the tour, her 3 1/2 year old iBook went belly up. The second week was in Florida (my home state), so I was able to take it to an Apple store for her. I told her that I thought her problem was a bad logic board, and that it would be a few hundred to have it fixed. Sure enough, when I took it to the Apple store, they confirmed that it was the board, but that it was covered under an extended replacement program.
To make a long story short, they fixed the iBook completely free of charge, and it was ready to pick up only three days later. Needless to say, I was impressed. I hope that, in the end, you will be impressed also.

My iPod touch 5th generation (iOS 6) has determiined my location numerous time before, however, now it does not. I am in the same location so thats not the issue. Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?

Anyone?

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod cant see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

TS3694 My iPad 2 (16GB, WiFi only) went into recover mode and will not allow restoration from iTunes. Error message 3014. Anyone come across this and a possible solution?

Error code 3014 question. iPad 2 (WiFi only, 16GB) went into recover mode. I am not able to restore from iTunes. iPad had the latest software & iMac is latest as well. iPad has very few applications... < 6GB used prior to this.
Any help.

Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

IPhoto and Kodak EasyShare software

I find myself using Kodak's EasyShare software a lot more than iPhoto-- especially since I can click on the slide show and see both photos and videos in the same slide show--
BUT with both programs, my photo/video folders are getting huge-- over 25 gb. How can I put "8000 of my photos" (out of 9000) into another folder on an external hard drive and keep the last 1000, but then at a later time access all the photos (combine them again on 1 hard drive) without having the software show a "?" on the photo and thus having to relocate each photo individually... i.e.--> how to backup the folder, but then add new photos to the smaller "new" main folder, then recombine these without having lost any pictures or information...
This must be a concern of others-- any comments on both iPhoto and if possible Kodak EasyShare as well-- THANKS!

Stephen:
You can do that with iPhoto 6 but not V5. iPhoto 6 has an option to import just alias files into the library and leave the full sized files where ever you want. Then you can change the preferences back to normal and import the full sized image files of those you want on the boot drive into the library. OR, keep them all on an external HD. Here are some Tutorials describing how to convert to an alias based system.

Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY . Looking for solution.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions?

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions? SecSigner is not responding.

Well, I contacted SecCommerce about the issue, the response was, that I should sign the file later (afterwards). This is a solution, but not the best in my opinion.
When I sign the document the SecSigner window/Java window appears and freezes. Adobe is not responding. I have to terminate Adobe because the program is not responding.
I only found this support website, so I have realized that this is a User 2 User site, but it was a try to get some help.

Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

Sound like a trackpad problem and not an iPhoto one. Have you asked in the forum dedicated to the Mac model you're using or is this an add on trackpad?
