IPhoto deletes Facebook Albums- WHY? And how to stop it.

I have seen some posts on this issue, but haven't seen any recent responses.
I was on iPhoto and clicked to share something on FB. As soon as I did I got a notice that a totally unrelated album was deleted from FB. This is now 3 albums that have been deleted from FB but the photos are still in my iPhoto library. They also show up as FB albums on iPhoto, but the albums now contain no photos.
I see this has happened to others but have seen no resolution to restore them or to determine what the issue is. Any new ideas?

See if the following help. Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.

Iphoto deleted facebook albums

I deleted some albums from the iPhoto app without realising that they were synchronized to my Facebook acc. in the process i lost 16 albums. 7 years of memories and i have no back up. please help me recover these pictures urgently

Then, as you have no back up, you're into file recovery software, which is not cheap. An app like File Salvage will scan your disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

IPhoto deleted facebook albums also deleted iPhoto albums.

I hope someone can help me out.
I started up iPhoto after deleting a lot of pictures from Facebook. It stated something like do you want to import the pictures from facebook albums? I was like no because they are already on my iMac but not it seems they are gone.
Is there any way to fix this? I have a time machine back-up but it happened about a month ago.
Thank you in advance.

As documented iPhoto syncs with FB so changes made to photos uploaded from IP to FB in either place are reflected in the other - deleting from FB also deletes from that album in iPhoto

Continual updating of previews and thumbnails. Why and how to stop it?

I am switching over to Aperture after having manually managed my files in order to see if there is any benefit for me as my photo collection is getting a bit out of control.
I have imported as projects all my folders of images. Now Aperture runs very slowly and is continually updating previews and thumbnails. Is there anything I can do to stop this or is this just part of the process of the system going through my files and generating the previews and thumbnails? If so how long can this take? Its been almost a day so far!
I did read a support document TS1360 which mentioned that items need to be migrated to RAW 2 format from version RAW 1. This would be fine but I have no idea how to find the images if this is the case. If its all my images then that could make for a real mass migration!
Any thoughts?

Raw v1 and raw v 2 relate to changes in the raw processing engine between aperture v 1x and 2x there is no need for you to worry about this if your images never resided in an Aperture v1 application.
Regarding previews & thumbnails, it is a good idea to let aperture build the thumbnails and previews. This will take some time depending on the size of the image files and the quantity of images you imported into Aperture.
If you have no plans to use the functionality previews gives you can switch off that function in the preferences and in the Library (cog wheel) settings. But previews may be necessary depending on how you have set you your Library and if the files are referenced or actually reside with the Library file structure. Referenced files without previews need to be physically available to aperture for aperture to display them. Referenced files on an external HD with previews will display in the library even if the drive is off line, however the image displayed is only the preview in this case.
The PPC G5 you have will labour importing large qty's of images for the first time, however given the chance to build everything, it should function reasonably thereafter. But It's (G5) really the absolute minimum and less than ideal platform at this stage.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me why and how to stop my ipod touch from crashing and being so slow

i need help!

In the absence of more info, try these steps:
Make sure iTunes is updated to the latest version
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

I force quit iPhoto while it was deleting Facebook album with it. Since then, I CANNOT open iPhoto. It keeps saying 'iPhoto quit unexpectedly' after few seconds I open it. Any suggestions on what to do?

Try, if rebuilding your iPhto library will help:

When a new album is created it will fill with whatever is in the right hand window, If you're in the Events or Photos mode it will contain all photos in the library. Yes, strange behavior.

When I delete domething on Mac Mail it automatically deletes it on my Yahoo server. Why and how can I get it left on the server?

When I delete something on Mac Mail it automatically is deleted on the Yahoo server. Why and how can I stop this happening and leave it on the server?

I believe that that is how IMAP accounts are designed to work, if you delete an email from a computer or device then it will be deleted from the server. If possible you could try setting up the account as a POP account in the Mail program and you should then get a 'remove copy from server' tickbox (which will need to be unticked) on the account's Advanced tab in Mail > Preferences.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your Yahoo cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a dialog where you can remove the individual cookies.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does it work any better?

SONGS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED APPEAR TWICE ON MY PHONE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY AND HOW TO EDIT THIS PROBLEM?

Songs that I have purchased on Itunes appear twicw on my Iphone. Does anybody know why and how do I edit or remove one copy of the song?

I have had two similar events with my Gen4 iTouch. An album was purchased thru iTunes with my iTouch. When I sync'd it with my MAC Mini (OSX Lion) each song that was included in the purchased album appeared twice on the iTouch but only once on the MacMini. Deleting the duplicates on the iTouch did not resolve the issue. With each sync they were reinstalled. The only way I could get around this was to delete the album/songs on the MAC, elect to move them to trash then re-sync the iTouch to remove them. Afterwards I was able to re-download the purchase on the MAC then sync the iTouch. This resolved the issue.
The second event was different but the result was the same: An album was purchased thru iTunes but this time thru iTunes Store on the MAC mini. When I sync'd the iTouch there were 2 entries for each song purchased but this time there was an entry for the song itself AND an identical entry beneath it that looked similar to the play/pause sampling icon in iTunes when sampling a song prior to purchase. I am not using iCloud and I don not sync wirelessly on the iTouch. Again, all I could do was delete the purchase on the MAC Mini, sync the iTouch to remove them, re-load the purchase from iTunes and re-sync. This also resolved the issue but it makes me a bit nervous since I have a very large library. What is causing this?

Factory reset - the what, why, and how for Gingerbread

I wanted to share this information regarding a Factory Reset and how it is used for Gingerbread - both the what, why, and how - in case anyone is interested in the details. If you embark on this process, this thread is worth a close read. thanks to d.harris for writing this up for the SOAK group. good luck everyone and remember, YMMV.
First, what does a "factory reset" do? The short answer is: it will return your phone to the condition it was in when you first purchased it EXCEPT the Android version will match your phone's latest update. For example, I had Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) on my phone before the "soak". My phone was updated to Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread or "GB") during the "soak". I had some trouble with video performance in the Fox News app and missing album cover art in the Google Music app. So I decided to do the factory reset. After the reset was finished, my Droid X still had Android 2.3.3 on it but all of the settings had been restored to their factory defaults. And presumably, all Android operating system (OS) caches had been flushed. All of the data that was stored in my phone's memory was cleared. So my contacts were all gone. And I had to reactivate my phone (*228 1) just like a new phone and reenter my Google account info.
Does a factory reset actually clear the entire contents of the phone's memory and re-install Android from scratch? (That's what I wish it did.) But I'm not sure that it does that because the entire process seems to go too fast for that. However, a factory reset does seem to do a better job of cleaning out the remnants of the previous OS (Froyo 2.2.1) than a standard "update" does. But that's not all.
The factory reset also clears all of the apps that were installed in the phone's memory. And it clears all of the app data that was installed in the phone's memory. So you will have to reinstall all of your apps from the Android Market (or wherever they came from). Normally, you do not have to pay for them again because the Android Market remembers your previous purchases as long as you register your phone with the same Google account.
However, the Android Market does not remember the free apps that you installed---so you should make a list of all your apps before you reset your phone so you won't forget the free ones. The reason I wrote "installed in the phone's memory" above is because a factory reset gives you a choice whether or not to clear your phone's micro SD memory card. If desired, it will leave it alone. So any apps or data will still be present on your card after the reset. However, your phone will not be aware of the apps on the memory card because all "knowledge" of them will have been erased from your phone's internal memory---you'll still have to reinstall ALL of your apps. But the data files will still be there. Regarding the "built-in" apps that come pre-installed with Android, they will also be restored to their original state and version when you do a factory reset. So you'll need to update some of them (like updating Google Maps and updating Adobe Flash from 10.1 to 10.3).
Before you do a factory reset, you should have a fully charged battery becaues you do NOT want to run out of power in the middle of a reset---that could "brick" your phone. I always take an extra precaution: in addition to a fully charged battery, I also connect my phone to AC with the Motorola AC-to-USB charging adapter that came with it. Not only does it insure that I won't run out of power, it also keeps my battery fully charged so I have a 100% charge after the factory reset (you'll have a lot of work to do afterward to reinstall your apps and restore all of your Android and app settings back to your preferences).
Here's a pre reset checklist:
• Export your contacts to your SD card so you can easily restore them later (Contacts/Dialer menu > Import/Export > Export contacts to: SD card).
• Make a list of all of the apps that you installed (Android menu > Manage Apps > Downloaded tab).
• Get a copy of your Google account login info (user name and password).
• Get a copy of your Verizon Backup Assistant PIN (if you use this service).
• Turn off your phone and pull its battery. Wait 30 seconds or more and reinstall the battery and turn the phone back on. This will make sure that there is nothing hinky in your phone's volatile memory as the factory reset begins.
• Fully charge your phone's battery and plug the AC charging adapter into the phone.
Now you're ready to do the deed. Follow these steps:
1. If it's not already on, turn on Google's "back up my data" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Back up my data. This is required for the next step.
2. Turn off the "automatic restore" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Automatic restore. This will prevent your phone from trying to download every paid app that was previously on your phone all at once. It is much better---especially if you have a lot of apps---to install them one at a time. Plus, you may not want some of them to be reinstalled right away if you are trying to determine if one of them is causing trouble under GB 2.3.3.
3 If you do not want to use Google's "back up my data" service to restore your wi-fi passwords and such, then return to Step 1 and turn it off.
4. Begin the factory reset with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. You'll be asked to confirm that you really want to do a factory reset and you'll be given the opportunity to clear your micro SD memory card as a part of the process. I chose not to clear my memory card because I have a 32 GB card with "tons" of music and other files that I do not want to have to restore (it would take hours).
When should you do a factory reset? Everyone should do it before they give their phone away, sell it, or discard it. You don't want someone else to have access to your personal data! And, a factory reset can be a helpful troubleshooting tool when faced with problems.
By the way, my factory reset did not help the video problem I was having with the Fox News app nor did it enable Google's Music app to find all of the album art on my micro SD card. Both problems persisted after the reset under GB 2.3.3.
Finally, there are other things you can do to flush old data from your phone such as clearing the cache partition of your phone's built-in memory. This requires the use of its "Android system recover" menu. Even though I expect this cache data to be cleared during a factory reset, I did it after my reset just to make sure. Clearing the cache partition is usually what folks try before a factory rest so they can (hopefully) avoid the factory reset. I'll leave it to a Motorola staff person to go into that.

OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason...

Battery Pull - When, Why, and How

An *excellent* article on the when, why, and how of doing battery pulls on your BlackBerry. It's recommended many times on these boards to fix a multitude of problems because it WORKS! Here's why:
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-battery-pulls-when-why-and-how
And if you don't want to click the link, here are a few of the highlights:
Maybe [your BlackBerry] is not working as fast as before, the internet is stalled, or application memory is gone and nothing has been added. Is it possessed? Do you want to hurl it against the wall?
Before exchanging the device or panicking that it’s broken, know this. It’s normal; from time to time, your device might become slow and unresponsive. There is a quick and simple way to troubleshoot these issues. In these cases, it’s necessary to reset your BlackBerry device by performing a hard or soft reset. A hard reset is also called a battery pull.
Essentially, a battery pull restarts the operating system on your BlackBerry device and is just like rebooting your PC when it’s experiencing problems. It is not the same as using the Pwr Off/On button. This only places the phone in standby mode. Not only does a battery pull solve various problems with your device, it also frees up application memory and shuts down applications running in the background that can drain battery and resources.
A battery pull can help when:
Hardware Problems
Device display freezes or jerks
Torch/Storm devices lag when going from Portrait to Landscape and vice versa
Keypad/Trackball stops responding or does not work
SIM card errors
Software Problems
Java code or module errors appear on screen (e.g. Uncaught exception)
Applications are slow, unresponsive, do not load or lag
Theme issues
Bluetooth errors – connecting, pairing, etc.
Installing/Uninstalling Applications & Theme)
Music streaming apps (Slacker, Pandora) experience continuous buffering
Social networking apps (Twitter/Facebook) indicate there is no connection available
Memory leak – available application memory drops
LED Notification - LED keeps flashing when there are no new e-mails, texts, alarms, etc.
Maybe you don't WANT to physically remove the battery; I know I don't like removing the protective case repeatedly to take the battery out of the phone. Thankfully, there are third party "apps" that simulate a battery pull that you can download from BB App World. I use QuickPull by Steelhorn Software (free); it will reboot your device on a schedule you set, or you can do it manually as needed. A+ Reset ($2.99 after free trial), deReset ($5.99), Restart Me (free) are other options, all available through BB App World.
HTH someone...your BlackBerry can do a lot for you, but you do need to do some caretaking and maintenance.

I have a large amount of "Other" data on my iPhone 5 after the last 2 updates. Why and how do I get rid of it?

After I sync my phone, it has a large amount of data under the category-"other". About 11gigs. This is an issue. Does anyone know why and how I can delete it? I think it's from iMessage, email, etc..., but I have deleted lots of it with no result.
