IPhoto keyword don't seem to be working
I've got some photos in iPhoto from vacations. They've got keywords of where they're from. If I type in "Myrtle" in spotlight, I get all of the pics from our trip to Myrtle Beach.
I recently took a trip to Cunningham falls State Park in Maryland. I imported all of the pics into iPhoto and keyworded them. But if I go to spotlight, and type in "Cunningham" none of the pics come up. I checked the spelling. I waited a few days wondering if it takes time for the computer to realize it needs to index these. I tried a couple of other keywords for some other recently entered photos and no dice.
This isn't a major issue, but still it should work! I can't say for sure if this started specifically when I updated to iLife 6 or not, because I can't remember precisely when I did that.
Anyway, is anyone else having this issue and does anyone have any suggestions on what may be causing it / how to fix it?
Thanks,
Dan P.
Yes, a fair number of people have had the problem, but they all seem to hang out in the iPhoto forum!
Take a look at this discussion there:

If you're lucky one of the easier solutions may work for you.

Trouble with iMovie '11 transitions and themes? I'm running Lion, Mac OS X and just noticed today that the transitions and themes don't seem to be working at all when I start new projects or try to add to old projects. What is the solve here?
I've seen notes about clearing the cache but it seems that this is an older OS and I can't find the plist mentioned here because it's an older system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cL9RuDV3Qc

For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me get it working?
It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here. Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it. Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model it was reading).
Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run.
Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
Good luck on working this one out. -

Help and Mail search don't seem to be working properly in Mountain Lion.
When i search for a keyword in mail and specify 'Entire Message', I don't get any results. Also, the OS X help function is not giving me any results because it says that it can't connect to the internet. The internet is connected and working normally in all other applications.
Regarding Mail, the entire message search uses Spotlight to find results. Is your Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) in the dock still indexing, or otherwise corrupted?
You may wish to just add and then remove your main hard drive from the Spotlight privacy pane. This will cause Spotlight to re-index the whole drive, and once that's done (it may take a few hours) the searches would work.
I'm not sure on Help... Any chance you're behind some sort of proxy server? -
Firefox is already running, but is not responding? Simple answers don't seem to be working
I started Firefox earlier today, and got a message about a Firefox issue and that it needed to be reset. Since the other option seemed worse than reseting, and Reseting Firefox seemed relatively painless, I clicked okay. A brief message popped up about successfully saving passwords, bookmarks, etc. Then a smaller window appeared, saying it was cleaning up Firefox. During that, the process seemed to freeze up. I closed it out, killed any firefox processes running, and tried to restart Firefox, when I got the "Firefox is already running, but not responding." message. There's a folder on my desktop labeled "Old Firefox data" which I assume came from the Firefox Reset (There's also now a copy of the profile on my desktop, just incase).
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding
I found this and have been trying to work through it, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
1) Ther'es no Firefox.exe in my taskmanager, nor is there a plugin-container process.
2) I deleted the "parent.lock" file in both the profile (Which is just a bunch of jumbled letters and numbers with "default" in it), and the Old Firefox folder. However, these files were just "parent.lock" not "parent.lock.parentlock"
3) I didn't change the name on it, so unless the reset did before it locked up, I have no idea what to change it back to.
4) Its not a file share, so...
5) This might be a possibility. The Firefox folder that my profile is in is "Read Only" but I can't seem to change that. Everytime I go in, unselect "Read Only" and tell it to propagate the change through the subfolders, it seems to work, but when I check the properties 10 seconds later, "Read Only" is checked again.Sounds that the profiles.ini got corrupted when removing the old default profile and adding the new profile.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
You may have security software that was preventing Firefox from making changes to the file.
You will have to use the Profile Manager to either restore an existing profile or create a new profile.
A "Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact, including the (invalidated) cache folder (about:cache) that can take up to 1 GB.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.

Firewall rules don't seem to be working correctly
i have my firewall turned on and have rules for itunes and jungle disk to all incoming, but itunes still alerts me to change firewall settings to allow sharing, which is an annoyance, but jungledisk will not work with me adding a rule, it seems as if i have to the firewall off completely for these to work. Also my screensharing will not work now either, but i have no problem with any other apps like skype where the rules work fine. Any suggestions?
Great news, thanks!

I am using a Mac, and need to have my profile be on an external drive. I edit the profile.ini file per the instructions I found here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
but it's not working. I must have the path wrong. Again, I am using a Mac. Here is the info in the profile.ini file:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=Macintosh%HD/My%20Passport/Thunderbird/Profiles/o6fqy09d.default
Default=1
Do you see anything about the path that looks incorrect? The "My Passport" is the external drive.
Also, if there was an updated disk image for Portable Thunderbird, I could try setting that up but all I can find is a very old one which I tried but it won't update.
Thank you,
ToddThe "My Passport" external drive must be mounted somewhere in the file system. That's the path you need to use.

Energy and Screen Savers Don't Seem to be Working
I have a 27" iMac (early 2011) running Lion. No matter how long I set the Energy or Screen Savers for, the screen dims after less than five minutes of inactivity then goes into screen-saver mode after another couple minutes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
LloydHi Lloyd,
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
If that doesn't do it, (not on 10.7 to see if it's the same, but older OSX info)...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
(Then Trash the original of these last two, as "moving" them only copies them.)
Then reboot once more. -

I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time. Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them. Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.
If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
Maybe here:
iOS: Unable to import photos or device not recognized as a camera
Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work. -
I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2. or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello All,
Also no answer but am having the same problem. All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface. It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve. -
I moved my entire Iphoto Library from my Macbook Pro to an external hard drive. (Prior to this, I also copied the entire library to a different ehd, plus I have 2 other ehdrives with backups). I was trying to get more space on my hd. It has a capacity of 500GB, but was down to 70GB usable, with about 300GB used up by photos. I moved the library by going to Finder, using Command+Drag+Drop onto the new Seagate ext hard drive icon. The move seems to have worked, as the library shows up on the ehd, plus will open from there. My problem is that now my Macbook Pro shows that I STILL have only 70GB available out of the 500, and that 300GB is used up by "Backups", which it did not indicate before.
I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
Thanks for any and all help!I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots. -
Creating iphoto book and can't seem to view/ work on only one page at a time.
I am creating an iPhoto book and can't seem to view/work on only one page at a time. The Navigator, that allows you to focus on a part of the page is actually 1 1/2 pages in size so 1 1/2 pages are in view when trying to work on one page. What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this. It is very distracting viewing half of a previous page when trying to create a new page and write a story to go with the related pictures.
My Navigator seems to be to large. It covers 1 1/2 pages while in the training information it shows as the size of one page. Is there a way to adjust the size of the Navigator?
You can hover the mouse over the left border of the Navigator - then the cursor will turn into a resize cursor and you can drag the border and make the Navigator panel smaller by enlarging the source list.
Or drag the lower right corner of the iPhoto window and shrink the appliaction window. This will only make the navigator smaller - the source list and information panel will stay the same size.

Léonie
