IPhoto appears to import but doesn't

Hi folks,
First, apologies if this has already been addressed. I've done a bit of searching and can't find the solution.
I have a new iMac and have transferred all of my pictures it. Ive been trying to use iPhoto to manage photos, but am extremely frustrated.
I recently discovered tht iPhoto lies to me. I put my memory card into the computer. iPhoto reads the card, identifies the pics, and appears to proceed to import everything. If I keep iPhoto open, I can see the events, work with photos, etc.
However, when I close iPhoto and reopen it, everything I just imported is gone! I didn't realize this until I'd already told iPhoto to delete the photos it had just imported.
But I can't seem to get iPhoto to keep photos it imports.
I've updated to iPhoto 9.2 (though every time I open iPhoto now, it says my library has to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto). I've tried to use the manager to rebuild the library, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
Lee

You're database file is damaged.
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.
Regards

I admit, it's been awhile since I synchronized. Just did so, and all appeared right with the world, the handheld made the appropriate noises and showed the appropriate actions and same on the computer (XP, connect as always have through USB). In other words, they appeared to "talk" and said they were synchronizing. But my data (like important calendar entries) is simply not there. Nothing. Nada.  Nothing recently added.
I tried repeating it several times. Yes, I have the system set up so that desktop overrides handheld.  So what's up? Used this a lot in the past, never had this happen.
Thanks for any help.
Using XP and the original hot sync that came with palm and that I've always used--no changes. Help????

I'm having the same problem though not with the exact same components. I have a Palm Z22 and Windows Vista--things were going great until a few days ago when I noticed that the palm weren't connecting. The Hotsync process proceeds normally, there are no problems noted in the hotsync log, and yet things do not travel from the computer to the palm and vice versa. I've tried pretty much everything: I know the palm is connected to the desktop, not Outlook; I have tried soft and hard resets; I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times; I know the username is correct.
I suspect the problem has something to do with Vista; when I restored my computer to a previous time it started working fine but this morning it stopped again. The computer may be automatically updating in a way that is preventing the Palm Desktop software (verson 4.2) from working. Version 6.2 seems to work but I really hate it--there's no color schemes or categories. If someone could help me out with this I would really, really appreciate it.

IPhoto won't import photos, doesn't detect camera

I've never had a problem uploading pictures from either one of my Canon digital cameras. However, when I now connect either camera to my computer via a USB cord, the drive doesn't appear anywhere and iPhoto doesn't recognize the camera, nor does it prompt me to import the photos. When I tried the Image Capture software, it told me that nothing was connected. The CF card is fine (it reads on a digital picture frame), and the USB connection is fine (it detected a video camera). I couldn't drag images from the camera to anywhere else, since the computer doesn't realize the camera is connected. (And yes, the camera is on and all camera settings are as they usually are.)
Any thoughts?

YES! Found a working work-around to import 168 photo's taken in Ecuador with my HP Photosmart M637.
FYI, my observations and found workaround
- Connecting camera -> iPhoto 8.1.1 starts up but doesn't display the connected camera to enable import
- Overnight -> iPhoto still doesn't display the connected camera
- Use Picasa.app (as suggested in this discussion (txs for that) -> configured OSX to start up Picasa, which indeed happened when connecting the camera but camera is not displayed to enable import
- Used ImageCapture vs 6.0 (as suggested in this discussion) -> YES! It shows my camera and enables import into iPhoto vs 8.1.1 which I have done so my urgent problem has been solved ...
I wish you a similar feeling

Downloads such as adobe flash update won't download even when anti virus is disabled. The download box appears and runs but doesn't show anything.

Any updates or downloads won't download in Firefox. The download box appears, goes thru the motions but doesn't park anything in the file. I usually have to quite Mozilla, use Explorer for the download, such as Go to Meeting, or Adobe updates. Can't download anything with Firefox from your browser.

I am having the same issue -- IE7, XP SP3... Flash Player
will not download or install, but will download and install for
Netscape. Must be an IE7 issue, but I can't find a solution. If you
find something out, it would be freat!

First, let me say I am using the same hotsync program that originally came with this same palm handheld and which has previously worked. So there shouldn't be any incompatability issues.
And the message I get when synchronizing is-----that it is synchonizing and, as usual, it runs through the whole rigamarole, showing it's doing calendar, memo, addins (whatever those are) etc etc.
At the end, it says, synchronization complete!!!!
Again, it makes the little noises to show they are communicating. Everything as it should be, only, the info doesn't transfer.
And yes, the data that I save primarily is on my desktold, in the Palm desktop program that came with the Palm handheld. I want to share, download to my handheld. So--any thoughts?
Thanks again,
Dee

X220 Appears to Sleep But Doesn't

All, first I tried to get it to sleep in this thread. I had that working for about a month just fine. Then I noticed that about half the times I pull it out of my bag it is on fire, the fan is running and the battery is dead or just about dead. Clearly it is not sleeping correctly.
Either closing the lid of selecting sleep from the start menu does turn off the screen the way it should and it appears to sleep. But most of the time the fan doesn't actually turn off (I have to hold the corner up to ear to hear/feel the hot air) and I guess its not really sleeping.
Im not sure what to try to do to troubleshoot this. I know I really don't want to have to shut down every time I need to close the lid.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Guys, the EPIC FAILURE was on me and boy do I feel like a dope. Sure enough, my never used wireless mouse was turned on inside the bottom of my bag. I got my 5 year old to confess to messing around in my bag which must have turned it off.
Seems like Sleep is now working again.
Thanks for the help and sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

Imports, but doesn't show up?

I imported my clips from my Canon FS11 camcorder to iMovie '08. It says it successfully imported all of my videos and yet, one clip is missing. I go look up the event in my finder and I find my clip there. How is it possible that the clip is in the event folder in my finder and it doesn't appear in my iMovie events list? Is it because my clips is too long (approx. 28 minutes)?
Can someone help me out, thanks

Also found this thread which suggests deleting the plist. I have had good experience with doing this for other programs in the past so I'm trying it on this problem as well.

IPod Appears As Connected But Doesn't Show Up On iTunes

I synced my ipod (an 80GB Classic) the night before and when I turned it on later it was like a clean slate; no music, no videos, just some pictures. Well I tried to sync it today but itunes prompted me to restore it to its factory settings because there had been an error. Now when I try to connect it, it doesn't show up on my itunes even though my ipod itself shows connection has been made. I have tried "the 5 R's", have the latest version of itunes and still all I have to show are the same few pictures... I've only had it for a little over two months and have had no problems prior to this, can someone please help?

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

When I try to execute Firefox, it appears to start but doesn't. It seems the internet cache is still loaded from before. How do I clear this (I have that feature checked to delete cache on Firefox shutdown)?

This happens each time I try to start Firefox. I click the icon, my cursor goes into busy mode, then just stops. When I tried to run CCleaner, it tells me I need to stop Firefox. I pressed Ctrl/Alt/Delete and it doesn't show it as running. I went to processes tab and ended task of Firefox.exe and it still won't start.

Did you find the Firefox profile folder?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field<br />
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"<br />

"Downloading the latest applications" appears in Firefox, but doesn't stop or disappear.

== Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

When I open Mozilla Firefox, there is a blue/white bar with the words "Downloading the latest applications" in it. A dotted circle keeps spinning. Nothing stops or disappears and there is no listing of what applications are being downloaded. How do I stop this?
This started this week. The only thing that I did differently before this start was to add a router to my modem and connect them to my computer and laptop.

The spinning stopped after running my SuperAntispyware...but started up again when I tried to update my extensions on Firefox.
I think that the problem might be with Adobe and Shockwave. I tried to find updates for my plug-ins and extensions for those programs when prompted by Mozilla Firefox. However, the site I was sent to from Firefox concerning Adobe and Shockwave updates, wasn't helpful.
I tried installing, but it didn't work. I was prompted to look for instructions on Adobe by clicking on a link that didn't even lead me to anything regarding Mozilla Firefox. Finally, I clicked on the "still having problems" link, or something similar to that. It stored a file under "Downloads," which I opened and installed.
I was given the message that the installation was successful, but Mozilla Firefox still showed that my Adobe and Shockwave needed to be updated.
Anyone have any experience with installing Adobe and Shockwave with Mozilla Firefox?

LR 1.4 Text Appears in Slideshow--but doesn't travel with Photo?

Help. How do I get the headlines/text to stay?

Firefox' remember password prompt appears as expected but doesn't allow to click on its first option.

Since I installed Firefox 20, everytime I visit a new site where I enter a login and password, it prompts me to remember the password as it always used to do. However, the only choice I have is to click on 'no' or 'later' from the pop-up menu. The first option 'remember password' doesn't work. It looks normal (i.e. not greyed out or anything), it is clickable, bun when clicked on it, nothing happens. The prompt dialogue stays open and the password wasn't remembered.
I already tried in safe mode, it's the same story.
Could someone please help me with this? I don't feel like having to remember all new passwords by heart...
Thanks.

I also have this issue on my Dell XPS 15 laptop with the Nvidia Geforce 540M and the temporary fix is turning off hardware acceleration. I do believe that this should only be a temporary fix and that the Mozilla developers should figure out a way to work around this or fix this hardware acceleration issue with the nvidia geforce 540m.

My Contacts program opens but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be off above the top right hand corner).

My Contacts program appears to open, but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be sitting just above the top right hand corner). any suggestions on how to get it back?

Launch Contacts, then on the "Window" menu select "Zoom". That should maximise the window and give you access to the bottom-right corner where you can resize it, and the bar at the top which you can drag around.

HT1222 Just bought a ipad mini with retina. On my settings page its showing ios7.0.4 software update. "Estimating time remainin..." but doesn't seem to complete update. This message has been showing since last evening. How can I end or complete this opera

I just bought an ipad mini with retina display. On my settings page it shows an update occurring for ios.7.0.4 with the message "Estimating time remaining..."
This update and message appeared last evening but doesn't seem to complete. It also says "downloading", but nothing is happening.
How can I complete the download or eliminate it?

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

When I connect iPhone 4S in iMac, photos and videos can be imported through iPhoto, as usual. But, if I change the user account, iPhone no longer appears in iPhoto! If I return to the first account, iPhone simply doesn't appears in iPhoto also. Any idea?

Some more information:
- I have iPhoto '11 and, in iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1;
- I started having this issue about 2 months ago, but I can't associate it with any changes or updates;
- with iTunes, the behaviour is absolutely normal...

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.
