IPhoto no longer an option to select user picture

I noticed today (not sure how long it's been like this) that both of my user accounts had their pictures changed to some standard default icon (looked like shooting stars or something, not one of the Apple Pictures). Both had previously been set to a photo that is in iPhoto.
So, I went back to system prefs to change the photo back to what it was, and noticed iPhoto is no longer an option for a source of photos. I was able to select the one I want by clicking "Edit" and then browsing for the one I want, but I was just curious as to why it has disappeared.
Since I've already found a workarount to the problem, it's no big deal, but does anyone know A) what caused this to happen and B) how to get iPhoto back as an option there?
Thanks!!

Hi,
You can do this on Calendar.app on a Mac. Select Repeat "Custom" > frequency "Weekly" and select the days of the week.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

HTC Thunderbolt - no longer an option to send a picture via text?

Why can't I send a picture from the internet via text anymore? I have a Thunderbolt (hold the laughter, please! ) and I used to be able to touch and hold an online picture to bring up a menu that had a "send via messages" option. It seems that with the Ice Cream Sandwich "update" we just got, this is no longer an option. Is there another way to do this that I'm missing?

In Chrome, the options are: save, open, open image in new tab.
Firefox has a "share image" option, but the menu no longer incluides the "via Messages" option.
In the default browser, there's an option to link to the picture and send that. However, it used to just drop the picture in the message so that the recipient wouldn't have to open a new link.

ICal custom repeat - no longer an option to select days?

I want to set up an event that will occur Monday-Friday at 8 a.m., in the past I would create the event, then 'repeat every day' choose 'custom', and I was able to select days of the week. Now when I select 'custom', it only gives me the option of daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
Can someone tell me where this feature went?
Thanks!

Why is my iPhoto library no longer an option for Screen Saver in Mavericks?

My Screen Saver no longer pulls random photos from my selected iPhoto library. When I went into System Preferences --> Screen Saver I no longer see iPhoto folders as a Screen Saver option. Was a change made with Mavericks? When I try to select my Pictures -> iPhoto Library from the Screen Saver it is greyed out.
Thanks!

There are no drivers. I didn't have to install anything the first time around, there's nothing on the website that mentions OSX support.

IPhoto 11 - Photos From Option-Selected Smart Albums Not Included in Slideshow

Running iPhoto 11 on an Spring 2013 iMac (new thin bezel; hard state drive). I have multiple "smart" albums in my library, based upon keywords. When I try to select a subset of those smart albums for inclusion in a slideshow (i.e. clicking the play button at the bottom of the iPhoto interface), iPhoto only includes the photos I select from the given albums about 50% of the time.
For example, I may select albums 1, 3 and 5 for the slideshow, out of 10 albums total. iPhoto will only include photos from albums 1 and 5 in the working "selection" of photos, despite my explicit inclusion of the photos from album 3 in what I selected.
This is such a terrible and obviously preventable bug I am pretty furious.
<Edited by Host>

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If there's no improvement as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Option to select/deselect "SYNC" function no longer exists on Windows 7

iTunes, version 9 (64 bit) no longer has an option to select/deselect "SYNC." I can choose to manually sync & if I REINSTALL iTunes, it RESETS to AUTOMATICALLY SYNC, but the option to choose AUTO-SYNC mode still does not appear.
In the past, this function was available. SYNC funtions fine, but this feature is no longer available.

This is resolved. Probably obvious for most but coming from windows 7 I didn't know. For anyone who finds this on a search if you will go to windows update and on the left select recovery, then under advanced setup click on restart now. When this menu
finally loads you will have the option to change this here. Somehow mine was set from a 30 second menu to 0. I didn't change it or if I did I don't remember it. Any, Cheers!

[Forum FAQ] Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks Item not working when the option Run whether user is logged on or not is selected

Scenario:
We use one of the following Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks item to deploy a task to clients:
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
(Note that on some platforms, "At least Windows 7" is replaced with "Windows Vista and later.")
After designating a user account to run the task, we select “Run whether user is logged on or not” option, and “The Do not store password…”
check box is automatically grayed out (See Figure 1).
Figure 1
After finishing configuring the task item, on a client, we run command
gpupdate/force to forcefully update group policy. However, on the client, when we check if the task is listed in Task Scheduler snap-in, the task is not displayed, and when we run
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result for troubleshooting, we see an error as similar as shown in the following figure (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Cause:
To make the scheduled task run whether the user is logged on or not, we need to store the password of the designated user account. However, for the content of the scheduled
task item is stored in Sysvol where it’s not safe to store passwords, this function has been deprecated.
Workaround:
We can run the task with system account
NT Authority\System, or we can use specific user accounts to run the task when the given user is logged on. (See Figure 3)

Hello Everyone,
Succeeded !!!!!!!
Even i was struggling with this same Problem to execute a batch via Window scheduler and set the setting to "Run whether the user is logged in or not".
I tried many time but the batch runs with " Run
whether user is logged on" and not with "Run
whether user is logged on or not".
what i discovered is that there was one mapped drive
path in my batch file which was not the complete path like y:/AR.qvw actually what i did i changed that map path to the complete path like \\servnamename\d$\AR.qvw and the batch executed successfully with the setting "Run
whether user is logged on or not"
The
conclusion is that check the dependency of the script on external resources because when you check this option "Run
whether user is logged on or not" It actually conflicts. This my discovery.
If
you have any question write me on [email protected]
Thanks
& Regards,
Arun

Iphoto 'freezes' if print option selected, cannot force quit

iphoto 'freezes' if printing option selected and cannot resolve even by restarting imac as iphoto seems to stay in printing mode and wheel carries on turning!

Michael hello,
welcome to the Apple Discussions there is something else running that wants to use iTunes, shut down 1st and then quit...
The most likely candidates will be the iTunes widget in dashboard or a plugin or another program or script... use Activity Monitor from Utilities and show 'active Processes' this will tell you what is running...
take care Michael.... TP

Need to give REVOKE CLOSE option in CO02 only for selective users

Hello,
Need to Restrict Revoke Close Option in Tcode CO02 (Under Functions - Restrict Processing - Revoke Close) through Role/Object Level. Can any one suggest how to control this . Need to give access for CO02 for 5 Users , but only 2 Users can able to do Revoke Close Option , other 3 Users should not able to do this activity.
BR,
Murali

There is no authorization object as B_USERSTAT_T , but there is a authorization object as B_USERSTAT . I tried to create a Temporary Role and manually assigned this Object . In this object there is no way to control REVOKE Close option .
But there is one way noted in Google to restrict Revoke Close option .
1.Goto BS22
2.Select the system status TEC0 (I0045) & just duble click it,
3.Maintain the Revoke technical completion (BUTA) =Forbidd (not allowed),
But if i set the above Parameter , this will restrict Revoke Option for all the users . I need to control ONLY for selective users . I can set some value in user data for those users , based on that i can write some coding to restrict , but i want to know where to write this code .... I tried in some area , but it never works.
Can any one give some idea to fix this issue.
BR,

IPhotos no option to select print quality

iPhotos no option to select print quality,
i keep getting poor prints, after cleaning the printer and calibrating it nothing has changed.
is there an option to select the quality of prints through iphoto?
thanks, Ben

On the Print dialog, look for options for your printer under Presets. You will see options such as "photo on photo paper - fine" depending on your printer's available features.

After I import pictures, iPhoto no longer gives me the option to delete them. How can I fix this?

Normally when you're finished uploading a selection of pictures to iPhoto, a screen pops up asking if you want to delete the recent import of pictures [from the SD card] but my iPhoto is no longer asking me. How can I fix this? Or is there another way of deleting a selection of pictures from my SD card with out individually deleting them on my camera or formatting the SD card.
Thanks so much for your help!

Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

What are the command line options to start firefox to start in a kiosk mode which restricts the options that a user can select

I would like to use Firefox as my browser but want to restrict the configuration options that a user can do. Is there a command line option to start in a kiosk more in which no toolbars are visible including min/maximise buttons so that only the rendered webpage is visible? I am interested for both Windows and Linux environments.

There is a /wait option for the Windows "start" command to wait for the program to get finished.

IPhoto 08 book, calendar options not available

When I select some photos and then click the Book option, I get a dialogue that asks me to select Book Type with a pull-down menu. There are three options in the menu: Harcover, Softcover, Wire-bound Softcover, but all three are greyed out. So I cannot progress any further.
If I click Calendar instead, nothing happens at all.
If I click Card, I seem to get all the options, fully functioning, as you would expect. Only problem is, I don't want a card; I want a book or calendar... Can anyone advise what I can do to get one, please?

Are you able to print a photo? Do you get any message about themes being missing? If so then:
Restoring iPhoto Themes
First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
4 - mount the system disk that came with your computer, double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
After installing reinstall the latest iPhoto updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
