IPhoto library - Events - pics imported from camera, scanner and internet - it doesn't seem to matter - for a while they show OK but then when I go into the event and start scrolling some--but not all--pics disappear w/ ? small and expanded.

iPhoto Library - events - pics imported to library from camera, scanner and internet.  Some disappear--sometimes when scrolling and other times on their own.  Some disappear when in general event and some when I try to expand the picture.  If when expanding the small pic remains.  It's really annoying.

Are you running a "referenced" or "managed" library?
Give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • I see a podcast in my computer when i look into the driver of my ipod. But the problem are that i can;t find it in my i pod nano 6th generation. What to do?

    I can see that on the harddisk when i look into my  i pod nano see some podcast. When i look in my I pod i can't find them. What to do?

    Great Troubleshooting on your own so far!. (If you got 2 PC and 2 iPod would be much easier, some of the people in this community has more than 2 of each.)
    Hope you did not connect it to a USB Hub, the sync cable must be plug in directly to a USB2 port at the back of the Desktop Computer.
    If you have a spare Notebook, with iTunes, connect it to the Notebook, to check if the iPod is working or hung.
    Can you iPod run and play songs, when disconnected from the PC? (Sorry, for just asking the obvious)
    Anyway, just hard reset your iPod, so that we can start from scratch
    1. if your iPod is hung, reset it by pressing Menu and Center button for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo, comes on. (this won't delete your songs in the iPod, if they are not corrupted))
    2. Connect it back to your Notebook or Desktop.
    if your iPod screen is dead, try charging the battery by connecting it to another computer. if it doesn't connect to successfully to another computer, it may need servicing.
    Good luck!

  • I lose firefox when it updates mcafee is allowing full access can get firefox 3.5 it asks me to update which I do but then when I go into it again it goes back to 3.5 saying need update. Please help me its driving me nuts

  • Cannot load iPhoto Library nor download photos from camera

    Upon reading most of the forums I have come to the conclusion that I have screwed up iPhoto Library by moving and deleting photos. Now Iphoto, verson 2.0 will not load the library nor download photos from an attached camera. It just remains a blank slate. I just did a clean install of OS 10.3 and downloaded all upgrades. Everything works except iPhoto. Reason I did all the didling with the library was that I have 25 Gigs of photos and my hardrive was too full. I still have over 15 Gig of photos on the drive and cannot view them. Prior to the Clean install of OS 10.3 Iphoto worked fine. I have purchased an external hard drive and now think I must do the following:
    1. Format the new hard drive
    2. Move the present iphoto library to the external hard drive. I have to do this as I still have no room on my hard drive. Move the old library out of picture folder.
    3. Open Iphoto. Now it supposedly will ask me where the library is. I will show iPhoto where it is on external drive. Question, iPhoto does not recognize the library now so why should it when I show where it has been moved to?? Do I just move iPhoto library folder or the complete Picture folder?? Also when I hold down the shift and option keys while opening Iphoto to rebuild the library why should it as iphoto stil does not recognize its library??
    4. Somewhere on the discussions I read that I have to hold down option key to get a new iPhoto Library. Can I do this and after creating new library have Iphoto download all albums from old renamed iphoto library??
    Sorry for all the stupid questions. These photos are kids, grandkids and great grandkids, family pictures, etc. It would be devastating to me to loose these. Any help would be appreciated. Than ks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will not be able to resurrect your old library due to the renaming and moving of files within the iPhoto Library folder. You'll have to create a new library and import the full sized image files from the old library folder. Here's what you'll need to do:
    1 - open the old iPhoto library folder and type Command-F (find). Then set the following search criteria.
    a. Name contains ".jpg"
    b. Size is greater than 100 KB.
    2 - in the search window will be all of the thumbnail files that do don't want to import into the new library. So select them all and drag to the trash.
    3 - launch iPhoto with the option key depressed and create a new library.
    4 - use the File->Import menu option to select the old library folder and import all of the image files contained therein. You won't get any of the small thumbnail files since you removed them earlier.
    That should do it. You'll probably have more rolls then you had before so you'll have to consolidate photos into fewer rolls. In the future Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. That's the cardinal sin of iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?

  • IPhoto library chaos after importing from eksternal hard drive

    Hi
    I just got my first Mac Book pro and started to import my 15.000 photos which are stored on a consumer NAS-disk by via old windows PC. 
    The pictures are originally organized in folder by year and months.
    The result is absolutely chaos.....  The number of pictures is quadrupled.
    After (a looong time) I get one "event"-folder where I see my original files and one event (or folder?) named with a bunch of letter and numbers, ( ie "7gdaskk5klj3mjll54kj4lk6j4k4") where the same pictures are stored THREE times. It seems to be one version as the original, one low-resolution and one version with a different aspect or view.
    It's absolutely impossible to navigate through all this. I thought managing pictures was one of the advantages with Mac - I am not sure any longer
    Am I doing something wrong or is there a trick that can streamline my picture library?
    I have tried both to import with and without copying pictures to library. Same result.

    How are you browsing your imported photos? This looks like you were browsing the iPhoto library using the Finder and not using iPhoto's user interface in the main application window.
    When iPhoto imports photos it will store them in the iPhoto library and also additional files to speed up the browsing. It will create a preview of the edited version to share with the Media browser and a thumbnail to be used in the browser. All these files will be stored in subfolders of the library with cryptic names. Browse your photos using iPhoto's interface and don't access them directly in the Finder. You are risking to corrupt the library this way. After all, it is iPhoto's job to manage and to retrieve the photos for you.

  • Everytime when I quit FCP X, I could not find the file that was created previously. I'm aware files (events/projects) are saved automatically. But strangely when I reopen FCP, the event/projects are not listed.

    I need help here. Saved events/projects are not visible or listed when I reopen FCP X. Tried to open from the event folder don't seem to work.
    I'm using MacOS X 10.6.8 and just bought FCP X 10.1.
    Help.

    No. I'm not using two hard drives. Files saved on MacBook Pro HDD. Only time I use the second HD is for backup but while working on FCP X.
    This is unclear.
    Do you have another HD with FCP X projects and / or events?
    If you do (whether it's a backup or not) it will cause the exact problem you described. Make sure any other drives with FCP X events or projects are turned off before you launch FCP X.
    If you don't have a second drive with events or projects, I suggest you try trashing your preferences.
    Faults like this can sometimes be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and quite safe).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Pref Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
    If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to go over your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.

I'm getting very frustrated whenever I return to work on the video to find the file 'missing'. I know its there but it's just not showing up on the Event Browser. Sigh!!

  • What are the best instagram video settings using Compressor 4?  The outputs I have created look clean HD in camera roll.  When I view video in instagram preview it looks great, but then when i post it the quality gets blurry. Any advice?

    I have read that you should resize the frame to 640 by 640 or 1000 x 1000, and have tried both.  I shot the footage on canon 70d using 720p60fps, and edited the footage with iMovie.  Its been frustrating to see the finished product look great on iPhone, iPad, or mac but once i post the video- the quality gets blurry when you focus on the faces that are in focus.  My footage is basketball action shots from a high school game.  Any advice would be huge, I been looking for an answer to this for a month. 

    Simple export a ProRes 422 file, upload that by itself.  Facebook, Vimeo, YoutTube, etc, all compress the video themselves.  So don't compress it first, just upload it and let them do their own compression.

  • Whenever i click a song it take awhile to play? before i updated to ios 8 i never did that it was always fast. but then when i updated to ios 8 it became slow. But whenever i close out of the app and go back it it will go from slow to not slow?

    Please help?

    If you delete the YouTube app you will not be affecting your YouTube account.  You can always reinstall it & see if that fixes the problem.
    As far as Safari pages reloading between tabs, I have also noticed the issue after iOS 8 on my iPad 2.  Updating to the latest iOS on older devices can see a degradation in performance within certain apps due to the limitations of those devices. 
    We made the choice to update & with the many benefits of the latest & greatest iOS there are bound to be some problems too, 

  • Why does my download box show the active download but then when it's done the box is empty, before this it used to retain the name/title of the download ?

    My download box used to show me the completed downloads ... now it just shows the progress of the download and then goes blank?
    It used to retain the completed download title/name and I could click it to open instead of having to go out to my desktop to open the download ...

    that has not changed it ... I still get a blank download box after the download :(

  • My aunt just bought her phone ( iphone 5c ) but then when i tried entering the serial number on apple's site it shows as iphone 5s. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it was green and it was iphone 5c. Could this be a fake iphone?

    My aunt just bought her iphone (5c) for half of its original price here in Phils. So to check it was a
    Egit one, i asked for the serial number by checking the settings of her phone. After geting the serial nu,ber, i entered it in apple's site to verify. I was kinda surprised since the phone that appeared was 5s instead of 5c. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it's green. So could this be a fake iphone phone?

    If the warranty is showing less than 12 months ,the iPhone has already been activated ,so yes most likely secondhand

  • My computer wont recognize my ipod touch, when i go into the devices list (windows 7) it comes up but its under unspecified and says it needs troubleshooting. what can i do to get it to connect properly again?

    when i plug in my ipod into the right usb port it makes the connecting noise but nothing pops up and itunes does nothing. then when i look into the devices list it is under a category called unspecified and says that it needs troubleshooting. if i run the troubleshooting program it says it could not find a solution to the problem. i want to know how to fix this.

    I was struggling with this since my latest Itunes update.  Fiirst it would not recognize my IPad as a device, after correcting that, it would list the Ipad in my device but my Sync had no options (summry, info, etc). and it kept saying it was "Accessing Itunes store".  reading your question I suddently tried deleting the itunes task (alt-ctrl, delete, processes) and delete Itunes.  (By the way, I had rebooted my computer several times over the last few days).  I opened up Itunes, and voila. Device is there. No "accessing windows" and my sync has the normal options.

  • I download itunes it says its successfully installed. then when i try to open it it says "apple application support not found" PLEASE HELP!!

    I download itunes it says its successfully installed but then when i try to open it is says "Apple Application Support not found"

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Some JPG and AVI files imported from camera to iphoto, but not all

    I just imported from camera to iPhoto using card reader and half the pics and a couple movies came over. The rest aren't recognized by my iMac, even though they say JPG and AVI and still run fine on camera. I installed Perian plugin a while back at the recommendation of one of you, which solved that problem and I just installed the recent update. I used time machine to restore old version, but that didn't work. I don't know if this is a Quicktime (v 7.4.1) issue or a problem with the flashcard. I tried opening via photoshop and iMovie. Photoshop CS3's message says "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found." iMovie, when I try to drag movie into it says "The file could not be imported: ... Quicktime couldn't parse it: -2048". Hopefully one of you knows what is going on. Thanks!!!
