I read all discussion-themes and tried to delete the existing iphoto library and create a new one, I delete the preferences plists, I repair all options that will be appear, if i push alt+cmd,I replaced the iphoto library and the programm iphoto with my timemachine backup. but nothing happened.
today i moved the iphoto librarys to an extern hard disc. I removed all things from iphoto and installed iphoto from the system cd.
again an white screen is opening. if i click to add a new album, the left bar is visible. I click to import photos. the programm runs and can not complete the import. i have to quit the programm with taskmanager.

Mavericks's Messages doesn't show picture instead it's a file to download

Hi Everyone,
I installed Mavericks and now Messages app doesn't show pictures messages from senders, but it's a file to download. I still see the picture I sent out but not pictures coming in. I didn't have that issue with Mountain Lion. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Messages 8 in Mavericks seems to handle pictures differently thnan Messages 7.x.x (Mountain Lion) and the iChat versions before that.
It seems it is now a function to "syphon" off pics to an Attachment folder and show only the spyglass item in the Conversations (iMessages) or Chats (buddies) to "recall them causing them to open in Preview.
It seems this will happen at different points time wise but has some relationship to how far the pic may have disappeared "up" the Chat.
This chat with "myself" spread over an AIM and an iMessages chat with my iPhone shows older item I sent not being displayed but one between Christmas and New Year still shows.
If I have the top hat pic on the left that is from my iPhone using the iPhone number.
Some are just the sync coming back which then show the Sig pic of the Mac Send of the iMessage.
I did have an issue where new Pics sent from the iPhone were going to the Downloads folder and not showing in the Chat window at all.
Nor could I iMessages the iPhone.
I could select the iPhone Number to send it too but as soon as I hit the enter key the Conversation seems to completely disappear and nothing was sent.
I deleted com.apple.ichat.plist for ~/Library/Preferences
Open the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter that path in the dialogue box.
find the file and Drag it to the Trash.
Restart the app.

My ipod model A1367 display shows only a white screen. why is it?

my ipod model A1367 display shows only a white screen. why is it? please help me im using apple product for the first time

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Spontaneously different projects show pictures (only virtual) hiding the true ones present in other project. clicking on the virtual one appear the era one

Spontaneously different projects show pictures (only virtual) hiding the true ones present in other project. clicking on the virtual one appear the era one

Thanks for your kind interest. The problem seems to be solved. In practice it was a picture (which I have defined virtual) which appeared in the project instead of the one I uploaded. The false images came from other projects in the same library. When I went to click on this false picture, it opened the right file of the image that I had loaded.
I solved the problem with the function "new version from original" applyed for each of the files having this double faces.

My 3GS shows only a white screen. Is it repairable?

Suddenly, my 3GS will show only a white screen. It appears to still buzz occasionally, so perhaps it continues to function. Is this a self-help problem, or do I need to have it professionally repaired?

Why don't you bring it in to Apple for evaluation? We users here have no way of examining your phone.

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen.

Margie
Thanks for the replies.
I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
Could you explain what you mean by
and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
More later.

My external hard drive doesn't show up on my desktop screen

I have a 1TB external drive that connects by USB. I use it as a Time Machine and for other storage. It worked fine until a few weeks ago. Now, when I connect it, the drive starts spinning, but it doesn't show up on the desktop screen or in Disk Utility.
Other USB drives and devices work fine when plugged into either of my USB ports. Also, this particular 1TB drive works fine with my older MacBook. It's just that this particular external drive and this particular MacBook Pro don't seem to be working together.
Thoughts?

Does it show up in disk utility
remove and reconnect the USB connector on the drive end., check Finder > prefences > general ....is hard disks checked?
Have you used this HD on that Mac before?
Does this HD show in another machine/ Mac?

please help me out! my ipod doesn't show any thing in my screen. please can someone helphelp me please T^T.
or could someone teach me to open a ipod photo on. i want to check inside is it find?

Try resetting it. If that doesn't help, try restoring it.
There are no user serviceable parts inside an iPod, and opening it will void the warranty.

Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

Why is my screen all white after installing OS X Yosemite? No place to log on to my computer, only. White screen??

I Installed OS X Yosemite on my IMac and once it restarted I only had a white screen, no place for me to log on. I called Apple Support & they told me to rest all it again, I still have only a white screen with no box to enter my passcode,

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

IPhoto doesn't show magnified photos

iPhoto shows only thumbnails and when I doble click on a photo, only change the bottom bar tool, but the display doesn't refresh and the thumbnail photos keep showing on the screen. Also when I select Edit a photo, the display area where it was supposed to show the full size image keep black.
I right click on a photo and choose ->Show File and I see that the photo's path is Macintosh_HD/users/AngelSolorio/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Madrid/"x".jpg. And the size is 3.1 MB.
However, if I doble click over any image in my Hard Drive, Preview doesn't show anything.
Someone can help me, please?

How are you getting the images into the library? You must import them. This is from the iPhoto help:
In addition to transferring photos from your digital camera, you can import photos from a flash drive, memory card reader, CD or DVD, or other locations on your computer’s hard disk.
If you’re using Mail, you can drag photos directly from an email into iPhoto. To import photos received when using another email client, including webmail, or when downloading photos from the web, first save the photos to your desktop or in a folder on your hard disk.
You can also scan photos and save them on your computer or save emailed photos on your hard disk, and then import them into iPhoto.
iPhoto supports popular file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and RAW. Other formats also work but are not fully supported.
To import photos without a digital camera:
In iPhoto, choose File > “Import to Library.”
Navigate to the location of the photos you want to import (for example, a CD icon on your desktop or a scanned photo file saved in a folder on your hard drive).
Select one or more photos, or select an entire folder or disk.
Click Import.
You can also drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into the viewing area. If you drag a folder, one or more Events are created based on subfolders and the dates the photos were taken.
IMPORTANT:Wait until all photos have been transferred into iPhoto or click Stop Import before ejecting a memory card, CD, or DVD.
NOTE:Some card readers may not be compatible with iPhoto. For more information, check with the manufacturer of the device.

IPhoto doesn't recognize pictures on card / already imported pictures

Hi all,
iPhoto '09 (latest version) on my wife's MBP (CoreDuo, early 2006, latest Snow Leopard) has always worked well for het (about 35,000 pix in the database). Last week, out of a sudden, it stopped recognizing new images when a card is plugged in (tested with two different SD cards from two different cameras). Manual importing works, but it won't recognize already imported images anymore, it just imports them again.
I already re-built iPhoto's database (by holding alt + cmd when starting up iPhoto), but it didn't change anything.
This is really strange - can anyone help us here?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Thomas.

Well, I was too fast yesterday. Nothing is solved.
Today my wife said that when she plugged in the card from her new camera (8 GB), iPhoto starts up but then showed the spinning wheel for 10 minutes, no pictures are shows. Then she got impatient and imported manually again.
I tested again tonight with the 8 GB SDHC card - all tests yesterday were done with a 2 GB standard SD card. And really, regardless what card I plug in, iPhoto doesn't start up. Even changing the program to start up when a camera is attached (see above) doesn't help.
So I created a new user account. Plugged in the 2 GB card, iPhoto starts and shows all pix. Fine. Closed iPhoto, ejected the card and plugged in the 8 GB one. iPhoto starts up and - just as described above - only shows the spinning wheel but no pictures within 10 minutes (364 images are on the card). Closed iPhoto again, and now it doesn't even start up anymore, no matter which of the two cards I plug in.
Can it be that iPhoto has a problem with the 8 GB SDHC card? We have been using this only for 3 weeks now, when we bought a new camera. Before the 2 GB SD card was used. However, iPhoto worked well with the 8 GB card for the first two weeks, and I haven't tried if re-formatting will help.
Any comments?
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Thomas.
