IPhoto can't locate saved edited photos even though the thumbnails show up?
Hoping to find out what's the issue here!
After updating iPhoto '11 to 9.1.1 and upgrading my library, I edited some photos today only to discover that whilst the thumbnails were still there for these photos, whenever I clicked on them to enlarge the photo, I got a warning sign instead.
Please see the following screencaps:
The photo I already edited and select in order to enlarge...
...but all I get is this, now, for some reason?
What am I doing wrong? Please help, it's really frustrating!
Didn't have this issue before upgrading/updating, so....
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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, 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.

iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
what fixes have you tried before coming here?
where is you library located?
how long has this been occuring?
did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

How do I access RAW files in Photos - these showed up in iPhoto but cannot be accessed in Photos even though they have been imported. Retrograde step again Apple.
Although more recent, and with newer devices, I have been trying to find this same information. Please help!

"Add a Printer" can't locate my printer software even though it has been downloaded to the hard drive. How can I guide it to the software?
What did you download and from where? Most downloads go to your Home/User/Downloads folder unless you've specified a different location in your browser.
If you downloaded the drivers from the App Store the drivers will be installed automatically and all you need to do is go to the System/Printers & Scanners preference pane as described below.
You will have to install the drivers after downloading the installer package. Lastly go to the System/Printers & Scanners preference pane and add the printer there. It will automatically locate the drivers and set it up. -
Keyboard clicks and lock sounds are off even though the settings show them as "on". How to get them back?
Use the volume buttons on the side of the phone. Personally, I find it's better with those off completely.

This problem seems bizarre to me considering iPhoto 11 has worked with out a hitch since I upgraded from 09 ages ago. The photos in my album suddenly changed orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa and sometimes upside down. I first notice this problem after I tried to click and drag a large number of photos directly from iPhoto to Finder. I did a Command-A to highlight all the photos from my album and tried to drag them to a folder in Finder. There are 34,000 photo in this album but only half were copied, (I guess 34,000 items is too much for Lion to copy all at once). I tried fixing this orientation problem by highlighting all affected photos and selecting "Revert to Original" which fixed the orientation of the thumbnails. But when you double click on a thumbnail to view the pictures or view the album in a slideshow, some of the pictures still have the incorrect orientation but most were corrected. Also if I double click on an affected photos to edit it with iPhoto image editor the image suddenly orientates itself correctly. Then as soon as I close the image editor and view the photo or start a slide show it's displayed with the incorrect orientation again. How is that possible that all my thumbnails are orientated properly but when I view the photo it's rotated sideways or sometimes rotated upside down? Any help or insight to my problem would be much appreciated.
Revereting to original will not fix the problem. When you invoke that menu option iPhoto will read the file again, see the tag that tells it to rotate the file and will rerotate it.
The most reliable way to fix this is to rotate those file before they are imported into iPhoto. Upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop, rotate those that need rotating, rename if desired and import. I use Xee for that because it can rotate the file losslessly.

Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.
When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

I have successfully merged two projects in order to add new photos for my book. The library available to the book which has 26 completed pages accesses only the original project library. Has anyone else had this problem ? It is frustrating to see the photos I want in the merged project file, but to have only the original photos when I started the book available in the book library.
That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album. -
The menues are not appearing for me to work on a photo, even though the program has downloaded?
The meues are not visable on the photoshop window to work on a photo. I downloaded a bunch of photos to work on but all I can do is archive or rename. How do I get to edit them? Where are the menues? I downloaded the program and it is open.
Most menus will be greyed out until you have an image open, but you can do that via the file menu, or using Ctrl o (Cmd o). Does that work?

Can' get online with my desktop even though my computer shows it's connected to the super hub
My desktop is showing it is connected to the super hub, but it cannot go online. Each time I try to open a safari window, it shows me that I'm not connected to the internet.
The hub has been changed by the provider and the signal strength is normal.
What do I do?Did all the above and it still isn't going online...
What did you do? If you can give more info it'll be easier to try and help.
How are you connecting to the hub - ethernet cable or wifi?
If it's wifi, and it's a new router, is the Mac seeing the wifi network to join,
and have you input the new wifi password the router almost certainly has?
I note that all other devices are connecting so this probably isn't the case, but is MAC address filtering enabled on the hub/router - it can block connections. If this is the case, you need to either turn it off in the router settings or press the 'association' button to put it into pairing mode for a few minutes while you get it connected. -
I purchased an ipod shuffle (5th generation I think). It is recognized by the computer and recognized by itunes but will not sync with itunes. Ran diagnostics and all passed but when it got to the sync test, it says "ipod touch, iphone, or ipad found". When I put on earphones, it tells me to sync with itunes. But it will not. What a person to do?
Hi jarrinjack,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to try the steps in our iPod assistant:

If the issue persists, you can also restore the iPod:

I have been printing from this iPad in the past with no problem. Suddenly I can't get to print. I have 2 printers on different WiFi. I can see each printer when I am on that WiFi but it won't print. I select the printer and then it is greyed out once selected. Is there a printer queue that might be jammed?
Turn your printer and router off and restart them and Reset your iPad: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

Hi...i have a new iPod touch and although through settings it shows that I am connected to the wifi when i try to download apps it says I must turn on the wifi? Any thoughts?
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
