Iphoto has been uploading for days and won't let me close program

A few days ago I attempted to upload my photos on my iPhone 5s to free up storage on my phone. I connected phone and it appeared they were being imported. Not because I could see them but every time i clicked on import it said it was already importing. i finally used Icapture i think it was called and i can see pictures but they are not in my library like the ones imported from my Nikon camera are. I am not able to shutdown iPhoto because it still says photos are being imported.

force quit - apple menu ==> force quit and then restart your Mac
Then if you did not have Image Capture import directly into iPhoto use the iPhoto file menu ==> import command to import from where every you had Image Capture put the photos

HT4060 my ipad has been charging for days and not taking the charge what else can be wrong.?

i have an apple i pad 16 gb...i have it charging for days and its not taking the charge what else can i try...

Could be the charger, cable or the iPad.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

When I get on my ipod and press the app "text free" I can text, but when I try to call I get something that says "Still connecting to the voice network and to try later. This has been there for days and my daughters can call on theirs.

What does it mean when you try to call from your ipod touch and you get a response that says, "Still connecting to voice network...try later?" I have tried updating and still nothing happens. I am using the text free app and my daughters are able to call from theirs...help

Sounds like a Text Free issue. Contact their support.

- First try resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then restore the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problems persist, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- If still problems you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.

I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and sign into your infomation
> Go to Manage apple id and primary email address
> Change it to the old apple id that your device is asking for
> Save changes
> Go to Settings > iCloud and sign out of the infomation
> Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

I have a document that has been "uploading" for a few days now and I can't work on it from my IOS 5 device or my iMac

I have a document that has been "uploading" to icloud from my iPad for a few days and I can not access it from any of my apple devices including my iMac. Anyone else having this problem?

Basically that's the way to go, with some modifications:
Instead of<br>
''1) putting it back as it is 2) then renaming the profile folder''
follow these instructions:<br>
Create a new profile and copy the old one over it.

The same goes for<br>
''4) putting back the whole original backup folder so it creates a second profile''
Make sure to create backups of your profiles.

ICal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for days...??

I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone. I have been using iCloud since it came out (running Lion). iCal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for several days. Also - when I add an event on the MacBook, it does not show up on any of my other devices (they are all set up with the same iCloud calendars). When I add events from my other devices, they DO show up in iCal on my Macbook Pro.
I am at a loss -- any help would be VERY much appreciated!
Thanks
Kim

Hello
Chance upon your post and yes, immediately after upgarding to Mountain Lion, my "new" Calendar (Desktop, formely known as 'iCal') keeps having the pop up window saying "Updating Calendar..." (I set my Calendar to auto-launch after Startup)
After restarting it will still be the same, but if I quit and launch again, everything will be fine. Will try the method you posted (the thread) tonight. Although I deleted the iCal preferences, thinking/hoping it will help
However, I don't seem to have a problem with sycning of al events, my sync with iCloud and all my macs and iOS devices seem OK.
If events are not syncing into some of your iOS devices, why don't you try deleting the entire iCloud account on it and re-set a new one? I've done that before when events or other data don't properly sync
Cheers

Keynote has been updating for days, how do i cancel?

I haven't changed anything on my computer but Pages and Keynote will not open and it says they are updating. I have tried restarting and shutting down completely andit is not working. How do I cancel the update?

Hi CayleighSydney,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are attempting to update Pages and Keynote but the process will not complete. This has been going on for days and when you try to open them it says they are still updating. There may be a few different steps I would suggest in this situation to get this resolved for you. The first thing I would do would be to check the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store and make sure Pages and Keynote updates are not paused. If they are, you can resume the updates. The following article has information on resuming updates if you need it for reference.
Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485
If necessary, you may need to uninstall the applications and re-download them fresh from the Mac App Store. The following article has information on how to uninstall. Once they are uninstalled and the trash is emptied, you can go back to the Purchased pane of the Mac App Store and re-download them fresh.
OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph11356
Uninstall apps
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

HT1212 I can not unlock my sons Ipod, and it does not ask for a code, not that he remembers it now. It has been locked for monthes, and dont know what to do. Can you help

Trying to unlock my sons ipod and he doesnt know what his password was. It has been disabled for monthes. Cant get it reset with itunes apple. And doesnt even ask for a passcode anyways. It just isnt doing anything.I have beentrying to unlock it for 2 hrs already

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Faces with revolving arrow and won't let me close iPhoto

HELP!! Until about a week ago I could use iPhoto, now it acts like it is trying to detect faces and won't let me do anything in iPhoto. I can't open pictures, I can't close it and it is making my computer run harder (the little fan thing is on, i think that is what I am hearing) Can someone please help me???

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You're going to need to Force Quit the app: You'll find that command under the Apple menu top left.
If the problem recurs every time you start iPhoto:
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 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.
Regards
TD
