IPhoto nightmare. Tried to import photos using Nikon software for the first time and all my photos disappeared from iPhoto 8.1.2 (and everything from itunes too). Newly reinstalled iPhoto crashes as soon as I import anything now.

Macbook OSX 10.5.8, iPhoto 8.1.2. I just tried to import some photos using Nikon software (View NX2) for the first time. When I next looked into iPhoto it was empty (so was iTunes but that's another story). I had backed up photos fairly recently but don't use time machine. Searched in vain everywhere and must have done something wrong because iPhoto wouldn't then open at all, saying it was unreadable. After a lot more attempts to recover I uninstalled iPhoto and the receipts and reinstalled from my original disc. It seemed to be ok and imported some photos from my iphone but as soon as the import is complete iPhoto crashes and when opened again it is empty. Have tried this several times and have shut down and have tried rebuilding with the alt and cmd buttons but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

not a reply but not sure how to add something to my own thread! It seems that Desktop was damaged too as when I try to open it a screen says there is no application selected to open Desktop with. No idea what I should choose! Any help appreciated, have really made a mess of my MacBook this time.

I can't figure it out. Please help. I have spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own but have not been successful. It seems like an easy task. Can anyone help?

Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

How do I accept the Terms and Conditions when trying to set up an Apple ID for the first time ( using my iphone)?

I am trying to create an Apple ID by using the Itunes icon on my iphone 5s for the first time. It opens up a screen with the 54 pages of Terms and Conditions and it does not allow me to even accept the Terms and Conditions... no Accept option or place to click!
The only option is to Send the terms and conditions via email... which also does not work...it keeps asking me to "try again"... Has someone else had this problem?

Just used my FaceTime for the first time, and my audio kept cutting in and out.? Why is it doing that? Or what's causing it? HELP!

I tried facetiming for the first time and my audio kept cutting in and out.. WHY!? It was so annoying. Does anyone know what might be the problem? Connection? Thanks!

Do you have a Corp. Exchange account on your phone? I ask, because the requirement to encrypt an iPhone backup can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.

What change to the firewall Java is trying to make when it is launched for the first time?

We are upgrading our jpi from 7u60 to 7u67. We are running EBS 12.1. We are having issues trying to deploy this to the organization with zero prompts and messages. We are getting a firewall prompt from the plugin the first time we launch EBS. What change to the firewall is java trying to make when we launch the plugin from EBS the first time? I have attached screen shots of the messages we are seeing. The first screen shot is on Windows 7x86 and the second is on Windows 7x64. The x86 is prompting for jp2launcher.exe
while the x64 is prompting to allow java.exe. This is the same software package for both instances and we are using the IE 32-bit browser.

You haven't downgraded the iOS or lost any features, what you've done is restored your phone from an old iOS backup.

Importing and organizing photo files lightroom 5 for the first time. Clean up hard drive photo files

I have a trial version of lightroom 5 and would like once and forall to bring some order to both my hard drives and lightroom 5 collection. Some photos in lightroom 5 seem to have lost their path. some are in Window 7 folders and others are in Elements 9. I have made back up copies of some folders and would like to have a more systematic approach to back them up from now on. I have a NAS (network access storage) device and an extra hard drive I thought it would be best to use my laptop as the primary working memory for my photo files as it would be faster than working with the NAS or external, and then back everything up to the NAS and external. I see the main challenge as consolidating all of the files and whereever possible preserving the ratings I have given photos; I would like to eliminate duplicats. on both the hard drive and in lightroom. i have looked at one of the initial training vidios on the 'library' section of adobe help and the presenter talked of two methods of importing photos,. the first and the one I think I will use going forward is to open lightroom and import from the sd card directly as opposed to having Windows 7 import and then having lightroom find them. If someone kows of a comprehensive list of instructions to follow to clean up my hard drives that would be extremly helpful? Peter

I doubt there is a list of instructions to clean up a hard drive, because every starting sitaution is different, and your "clean" is probably a lot different than my "clean".
But let's clear up a few things first. Based on your writing, it seems like you think you have photos stored in PSE and photos stored in LR. This is not correct. Neither of these programs store your photos. All of your photos are on your hard disk, in folders, somewhere.
With regards to missing photos in Lightroom, when you move or rename photos and folders OUTSIDE of Lightroom, Lightroom no longer knows where they are, and reports them as missing. To fix it, see: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm Related to this, you don't want to "clean up" things in Windows and also "clean things" up in Lightroom. Instead, once you import photos into Lightroom, you should do all photo management in Lightroom, not Windows, otherwise you will just be creating more missing files.
With regards to duplicates, Lightroom has some tools to detect duplicates. It will try to prevent duplicates on import, and if you do manage to import duplicates, you can use the "AutoStack by Capture Time" to try to find additional duplicates. But if those don't work, then you're pretty much on your own.
With regards to putting photos on your laptop to work on them rather than your external HD, I think you will find that this provides a tiny fraction of a second improvement in speed which you may not even notice, which will be offset by the time you spend moving photos to somewhere else when you are done. So, just put the photos in their final destination folder on your external HD or NAS, and don't bother moving them to the internal HD.
Which brings up another point. Once you have accomplished this "clean up", your workflow should be to put the photos in one place, and then don't move them! (Exception: running out of space on disk, or moving to a new disk/computer) Make your life as simple as possible.
One last point: strongly consider using keywords and other metadata to achieve organization, instead of moving photos/folders from here to there to achieve organization. These tools in Lightroom give you ability to organize in much more powerful and flexible organization than anything you can do by moving photos/folders from here to there. (Side note: if you want all photos in some sort of centralized location because it meets your storage needs, then do that because it meets your storage needs. Within that collection of photos in a centralized location, use keywords and other metadata to achieve organization and for searching)

Flashing Green/Yellow Light & using my iPod for the first time

* Quick solution to my woes, and explanation afterwards*
Follow instructions exactly. Do not attempt to do anything else unless specified. Make sure you have Win XP with SP 2, and verify that your USB ports are working before proceeding. Reboot the machine when prompted after installing any software.
1. Charge the Shuffle overnight. Once charged disconnect it before proceeding. If you've already done certain steps then move to the next step.
2. Install Updater and allow it to update the Shuffle.
3. Once updated, install iTunes.
4. Create a 'Test' Playlist in iTunes and drag about 30 music files into it from a folder on your computer. Do not drag music anywhere else. Try mp3's as a start.
5. Plug in the Shuffle. Do not attempt to drag music in to it. Close any error messages you may see.
6. Click Start, and 'Restart' your computer (do not 'Turn Off' or power down).
7. Start up as usual, allow the computer to fully reboot. Do not rush it. Once everything is started up normally, open up iTunes.
8. You should now see the Shuffle in the side panel. Drag the mp3's from the 'Test' Playlist in to the shuffle. Go to the actual 'Shuffle' in iTunes and verify that you see them in there.
9. Now pull the Shuffle from the USB slot and plug it back in immediately. If your USB mouse stops working, allow step 10 to continue on its own.
10. You will now see the files transferring. Do not interrupt it. Once it says its complete, disconnect the Shuffle, plug in your headphones and enjoy.
11. To update with new tunes, go back to step 4 and follow the steps logically.
This is the only quick workaround. If the above steps don't work, you are not following my steps correctly, or your Shuffle is in fact dead.
* This was the only thing that worked for me. good luck! *
I'm an engineer. I've been programming and working with PC's for 24 years. This issue was frustrating, but I also enjoy a challenge so I hammered away at this issue. I've talked with Apple Tech Support and I did some very basic troubleshooting with them (even though I knew they would fail), and spoke with my computer/electrical engineer buddies but even they were clueless. Now this is a problem that I enjoyed so I rolled up my sleeves for a week and did lots of trial and error when I had the time.
I knew that sending it in for repair or exchanging my Shuffle wouldn't make any difference. I verified that my Shuffle was in fact functioning just fine as a memory card, and that my computer was running smoothly.
I did the usual manual install of USB drivers, tinkering with this and that, and toyed with motherboard drivers, tried different USB cards, compiled drivers, etc. Nothing worked. It didn't make sense that it worked on other XP computers, but it didn't work with others. I've noticed that at on some computers that other USB devices would disconnect. It started to make sense...
The imcompatibility issue could be within the Shuffles firmware and/or iTunes, because other iPods seem to work with no problems when connecting to iTunes. I did many forms of troubleshooting and through deductive reasoning I've learned that the Shuffle firmware/iTunes are the cause of the trouble. Why? Because when iTunes is not installed, the Shuffle works just fine as a memory card and there are no problems with other USB devices. As soon as you install iTunes things start to magically STOP working when the Shuffle is plugged in. This includes other USB devices to no longer work when iTunes and Shuffle are plugged in at the same time (an annoyance if your mouse happens to be USB). All USB devices worked flawlessly up until iTunes is installed, and the Shuffle is plugged in.
I do not work for Apple, but if they're still supporting this product I have provided many valuable leads in this posting. I hope it's helpful.
Athlonx XP Windows XP Pro

Update:
Well I was hoping that the new iPod Updater and new iTunes would fix the glitch, but it hasn't.
I've also completely replaced my motherboard for a newer more modern one, and I assumed that with a different chipset it would have fixed it, but it hasn't.
My work around still works though. At least the updates didn't make things worse.

I made the wrong choice when I connected my new iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro for the first time (lost ALL my new photos because it restored settings that were 9 months old) - can I re-do this somehow and configure it as a new phone?

I connected my new iPhone 5 to my (now fully updated after two separate operating system upgrades!) MacBook Pro so that I could add my music to my new phone. Rather than configuring it as a new iPhone, I chose to configure it as my old iPhone, thinking that this would make it easier for my music to be there. WRONG. Now my new iPhone 5 looks exactly like my old iPhone 4 did in OCTOBER, 2012 - photos, messages, contacts... anything done since then is gone (that was the last time I had backed up my old phone, which unfortunately was not connected to the cloud and is also lost somewhere in a New England lake :-(). What I could really, really use help with is finding out if I can have a do-over on my choice and at least get my new phone looking/acting like the new phone it is, and bonus would be to have the photos and videos I took with it this past weekend (it's only five days old!) restored. Please help!

Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?

Pedro

Hi Pedro,
Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
As SolMan is a dual stack machine, you can use JSPM to update the kernel. Another way is to extract the Kernel SAR files into the exe\run directory. It is a best practice to update the kernel before the support packages. Take a backup of the existing exe directories before you update the kernel and also pay good attention while downloading the kernel. you need to take care while choosing the correct version of the kernel (either 32 bit or 64 bit and ITANIUM or XEON). If you choose the wrong kernel, then ur SAP system will not come up.
Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
Extract the IGS SAR also along with teh kernel files.
All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
Yes!!! You may have to update the latest SPAM/SAINT (SAPKD700*) before updating the SP's.
How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?
Support Packs can be updated using SPAM and the add-on upgrades has to be done using SAINT.

I tried to sync some new songs bought from iTunes into my ipod using my laptop, (for the first time). It would not add the new songs to the ipod. I tried several times, with same result. I never had this problem using my desk top computer.

I also am having a problem with the songs I purchased using the laptop not showing on the desk top itunes, even though it is authorized to do so. The new songs did show up on the iPad iTunes, however. Have no idea why. I thought this happened automatically.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I'm trying to use my bluetooth for the first time and I'm having trouble connecting to my vehicle. My data control in my vehicle asks me for a 4 digit security pin. I have no idea where to find this. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where to access my 4 digit security PIN from my iphone 4?
I dont ever recall programming a PIN into my phone.
I need it to pair up my bluetooth with my vehicle audio system.

Hi there,
the 4 digit pin is usually default to 0000 or 1111.
If pairing, it can also be anything you choose, providing that you enter the same 4 digits into both items to pair.
Good luck!
