IPhoto freezes on startup and unable to use dialogue box.

Hi,
I just upgraded my Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I also updated my iphoto to the latest version (not sure how to check the current version but its the latest one as per app store today).
Now when I load my iphoto I get the spinning icon in the middle as well as the Dialogue box asking me if I want to update the Library, however the options are frozen and nothing happens when I click on the buttons. I've left this for a few hours with no result.
I've tried holding down the option button on startup but the dialogue box with the new options are frozen.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library

Select the country in which the iPhone was originally sold:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
You'll find a link to the carrier on whose pages you can probably find contact information.
As RG said, only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. That is the only "way out". To have an iPhone that was "factory unlocked", you would have had to purchase it that way.

Are you trying to purchase a book? Is it an XL size book? Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try creating a pdf preview file of the book. If that succeeds you can then order and upload the book while in the Safe Mode.
P.S: Larry: congrats on Level 8.

Upgrading to Mountain Lion using free upgrade, download froze halfway, tried again and unable to use same code twice. Please help?

Upgrading to Mountain Lion using free upgrade, download froze halfway, tried again and unable to use same code twice. Is there a way I can get a new code without having to submit other information (scan/photo of proof of purchase)?

Open the App Store and navigate to the Purchases tab. You should see Mountain Lion there. You can click there to restart the download.

I am running LR 4.4 on a iMac with OS X (Yosemite). Everything works in the develop module but when i get to the print module, clicl on print and the apple print dialogue box opens, and I click onn print there, the app closes. It has now happened about a dozen times. I have downloaded LR 4.4 from the internet but the problem continues.

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

IMovie 11 Freezing at startup and file structure

Hi,
I know others have asked about iMovie 11 freezing at startup. I haven't, however, seen much discussion of the event file structure. To solve the freezing startup, I put all the event directories (folders) in a temp folder and brought only the necessary ones back into the iMovie Events folder, checking after each "move" that iMovie would start. I'm not thrilled about this approach, because it seems like iMovie could freeze anytime and I'd be back to square one. Anyway, my question concerns the directory structure of each event folder.
One of my events, Halloween, has three clips *.dv, an iMovie Data file, and three subdirectories: iMovie Movie Cache, iMovie Thumbnails, and iMovie Waveforms. iMovie Thumbnails has three clips *.mov and its own iMovie Movie Cache directory. The two iMovie Movie Cache directories seem to have the same content.
This doesn't make sense to me. Why two iMovie Movie Cache directories with the same content? What can I safely delete if iMovie starts freezing.
Thanks!
Bruce

Thank you. What about the iMovie Data file, can I delete that, too? Also, do you know why iMovie Thumbnails has its own copy of iMovie Movie Cache? Lastly, are these folders (the ones I can delete) the ones that seem to confuse iMovie 11 and freeze it upon startup? I went to an Apple store, but the "genius" had a limited knowledge of iMovie 11. Where does one find out about these things!
Thanks again,
Bruce

My iMac 24" freezes on startup and then works

Hi! My iMac has a startup problem: It freezes on startup around 5-10min and then works again. Sometime the desktop is loaded and sometime it only shows the blue screen. I can move the mouse cursor but the click doesn't work. I backup files with the time machine and reinstall the OS but the problem still exists. I run AHT (extend) and the result is OK, no Hardware problem. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. TW

More issues since I last posted:
It's running, very poorly, but am trying to upload an MP3 to soundcloud.com and the upload keeps freezing. It's nothing to do with my Internet connection either.
Quite honestly I think my iMac is on its last legs
I really need this running as smoothly as quickly as possible as my partner has recently been made redundant and needs the mac so she can look for jobs. This is very inconvenient :/

Bookmark page frozen and unable to use Safari

When I launch Safari the bookmarks page is frozen on the screen. I am unable to use Safari to browse.
Everytime I select the Done option nothing happens. The multiple pages icon at the bottom right of the screen is highlighed in white. It appears to be stuck on that option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jessie

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Firefox keeps crashing apon startup and unable to send crash report

Last night I was browsing the web and ended up having 300+ tabs opened, FIrefox started to slow tremendously and stopped responding a couple of times. Was given the option to close Firefox from the popup window and choose to close Firefox, unfortunately when I tried to open Firefox again it crashed and gave me the crash reporter and when I tried to submit the report the report it encountered a problem and is unable to send the report. I've run Firefox in safe mode and is working fine but when I try to restart with add-ons disabled its still crashes and unable to send report.

Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut and add a space and <b>-url "about:blank"</b> to the target field.
Try to delete the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder to prevent restoring the crashed session.
*C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.

Indesign CC crashing / freezing on save new folder name folder dialogue box

Hey guys,
I am having a reacuring bug regarding the new and awesome indesign cc 9.2 64 bit windows pc.
When I am saving or opening in indesign if I use the dialogue box to create a new folder to save the file in it creates it and then when the mouse moves to let you rename it from new folder default it freezes and crashes indesign.
Anyone else have this? Just curious if this is a known bug?
This is on a fresh install (re-install) saving to a second hard drive that is not the OS drive - if that helps. No other programs have had this problem.
Cheeeers,
D

Try installing the 9.2.1 update. Probably won't solve the problem, but shouldn' hurt, either.
I don't think this is a bug, by the way, or other users would be reoprting it, too, so it's likely to be an interaction with something else on your sytem. You might be able to isolate it by running MSconfig to turn off startups and test.

Cannot click on settings and global settings in dialogue box

Google chrome updated to new flash player 10.3.184.14 now when I right click flash screen and get the dialogue box and click on settings or global settings nothing happens.. but if I refresh game or page sometimes or intermittently I do get the local settings box, but only once.. when it goes away I have to refresh page. and sometime it works sometimes not.. the same happens with the global settings.... I looked for Flash player in my control panel, but was not there.. I switched over to IE-8 and downloaded version 10.3.xxx.xx now have it in my control panel.. If I play games or view flash content in IE. I can right click screen and can always click settings or global settings and it works each time, no matter how many times I do it,, but in Google Chrome it does not... Am I doing something wrong, do I need to import from other browsers in GC why cant I access settings and global settings after right clicking flash screen in Google Chrome?????

Hi, I think your thread got pushed to the 2nd page.
In addition to Security updates in this 10.3.181.14, there is included a Flash Settings Panel Manager.
Users now have a simpler way to clear local storage from the browser settings interface – similar to how users clear their browser cookies today. Flash Player 10.3 integrates control of local storage with the browser’s privacy settings in Mozilla Firefox 4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and higher, Google Chrome 11 (Available in Chrome Dev Channel), and a future release of Apple Safari.
When you open the Flash Player icon from the Control Panel, be sure to check each Tab (Storage, etc)
Also under the tab Storage you will find the info on Private Browsing, so be sure to read this info in case you use that.
My understanding of this new feature with Flash Player vs 10.3.181.14 can be used with the above listed browser versions.
Those not listed can use the Settings here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

Persistent and pestering Apple ID dialogue box

Starting only two weeks ago, almost every time I pick up my iPhone 4 I am interrupted by an unwanted dialogue box asking me to type in my Apple ID password again. My iPad, running the same iOS, does not do this. It is most irritating, any ideas?

First Sign Out of your Account... Settings > Store > Apple ID
Then Close all open Apps and perform a Restart and a Reset of your iPhone...

After using Time Machine-Computer Freezes on startup and will not sleep.

I've narrowed down my iMac issues to Time Machine.
After I back up with Time Machine, my iMac freezes on start up ( I have to turn it off and turn it back on again for normal start up) every time I turn it on and it will not sleep.
I reset the SMC, startup in safe mode, and do all of the troubleshooting to get it back so it starts up without freezing (sometimes my troubleshooting works). I've even reinstalled SL a couple of times and that seems to have helped but...
...when I back up with Time Machine, the freezing issues and non-sleeping issue return.
I've just installed the 10.6.2 update and my iMac is now working perfectly, no freezing on start up and it sleeps.
I'm afraid to use Time Machine for fear of the problems returning.
Any ideas on why Time Machine would corrupt my system? Any thoughts on how I can remedy the situation?

Hello m:
The preference file (plist) tells OS X what default and/or user preferences to apply to a device or a program. They rarely become corrupt, but if they do they cause all sorts of odd behavior.
After you trash the preference file and restart, OS X will rebuild the missing file with default values. If you have some personal preferences, you would need to enter those.
Barry
P.S. The preference file I mentioned is located in Macintosh HD>library>preferences
