IPhoto:  downloading the most up to date version, taking 24 hours!  what am I doing wrong?

iPhoto, newest bersion download is taking over 24 hours, with 34,000 photos.  I have iPhot page open with the wheel turning. Message says "updating".
Something is not right.
Help!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, connect your device  and see if your backup is working now.

  • I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my setting in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded the song but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

    I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my settings in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded them but it did not work. What am I doing wrong? When I play the sd card in my mac or on a lenovo laptop it works but not in the photo frame. I would be grateful for any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open.  I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection.  It worked fine before but now won't open.  I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply with additional information.
    Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
    being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
    that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
    to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
    Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
    But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
    Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
    version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
    a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
    b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
    driver version roll back.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

    Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
    later versions of Premiere Elements.

  • What is the most up-to-date Version of 5.0 for Windows XP Destop?

  • HT2736 Having emailed myself a gift voucher, I can't redeem the code. Everytime I try it tells me I need Itunes, but I have the most up to date version - help!

    Having emailed myself a gift voucher, I can't redeem the code
    Everytime I try via the email link, it keeps telling me I need to have Itunes
    I have the most up to date version, but nothing seems to allow the Pc (hp) to open it - can anybody help?

    If this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them as much of the serial number and activation code from the card as you can read) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds- Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but the most up-to-date version

    My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds… Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but not the most up-to-date version

    It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time

  • Is this the most up to date version of Adobe Muse CC ?

    Hi, I just installed Adobe Muse CC from Creative Cloud. It installed perfectly except the version that installed (7.1 and 7.1.329) was not current. I know this because under effects tab: missing scroll effects. Creative Cloud shows it is  up to date, but is this the most up to date version? Platform is on Windows 7. Please help. Thanks.

    Hi Friend!
    The last update is v.7.1, Build 329, CL 778884.

  • Which is the most up to date version of FF that does not include the plugin-container ?

    Hi Good People at Firefox
    Firstly may I say that you have created a great product which kicked MS's ass for a long time however I'm now concerned that the latest updates are pushing my poor old desktop to the limit.
    Upgraded to 4 today and the dreaded plugin container loaded yet again. On a PC with 512k memory and FF's notoriously bad memory management (i.e. it doesnt release memory when tabbed windows are closed) the plugin container is the last thing I need.
    So can you tell me which is the most up to date version of FF that doesnt include the plugin-container option ? i.e. the last version of Firefox before plugin container.
    I think it was version 3.?? but now I cannot revert to the previous installation to find out.
    Thanks
    Michael Dalton

    You can disable the plugin-container in any Firefox version that uses it.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can set the pref <b>dom.ipc.plugins.enabled</b> to false on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the plugin-container process (OOPP)
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop it in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    If the file is a correctly formatted AAC file with the .m4r file extension and less than 40 seconds long, then iTunes should put it into the Tones section of the library and move it into the Tones folder inside your media folder.
    I've just checked the current version of iTunes behaves as I've desribed, which it does for me at least.
    You may need to have some tones in your library for the tones tab to display when the device is connected.

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

  • I can not change the style of a pencil,brush, or pen. The options are greyed out. Anyone know what I am doing wrong???

    Hi,
    Stroke styles are disabled in HTML5 Canvas document type as the target platform doesn't support those. Please check your document tab if it reads '<yourfilename> (Canvas)' then you have created a HTML5 Canvas document.
    If you have created HTML5 document by mistake, then you can copy paste your layers into AS3 document then you can change the stroke style to your desired option.
    Thanks!
