IPhoto no main window

Since the last iphoto update - my gallery viewer has failed to show up. I've tried getting a previous version with time machine but it crashes on trying to reopen. Though , then I am able to do the update again ,to get the newest version. It does not crash, but still no main window. What happened?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

The main window doesn't show up anymore when I launch iPhoto.

The problem occurs on an iMac / Mavericks 10.9 / iPhoto 9.5. In the last days, iPhoto used to crash several times, and now the main window doesn't open when I lauch the app. Fortunately, if I want to access from the menu another Library, it works, So that I can repeat the procedure and access, by doing so, the default Library that doesn't open. There must be a corrupted file somewhere, I presume. But now, what to do? With Time Machine I could get iPhoto from a time it worked well. But this didn't change anything. Thanks for an advice to solve this annoying problem.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.

Trouble getting thumbnail to open fully in the main window for editing.

I updated to 6.0.6 iphoto and I can't find a way to have my thumbnails taking up the whole main window...not the full screen. Previously when I double clicked on a thumbnail the pic opened in main window, taking up all the space in that window. Now it is just a small pic in the main window and I can't see enough detail to edit the pic.

The files in the Data file are the thumbnails used by iPhoto. The ! you're getting is because iPhoto has lost the link between the library and the original files that will be in the Originals folder.
I don't think it will work but you can try to rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't work you'll have to start a new library and import the files in the Originals folder from the old library. Here's how:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HT5085 i have photo stream window which i can not closo on main window of my I pad

i have photo stream window which i can not closo on main window of my I pad

iCloud.com does not have a photos tab. You would access these pictures on your computer via iPhoto, or on another iOS device.

Main window (& source list) are somehow... gone! help!

something's gone wrong with iPhoto.
for some reason, when I turn it on, we do not get the basic iP main window (with the source list), we get a blank screen - I can then open the events page, but I can't get the standard first / main window.
so, as I can't get the source, list, I have no way to tell iP to transfer photos from the iPhone or even a camera - or anything in fact...
can anyone suggest anything?

renew your iPhoto preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

I have used Lr many years without problems. Now it is inpossible to edit . Can not see the editing in main window only in the small thumbnail. Suddenly it is not possible to import raw-files from my Linux camera ( it worked earlier)

Editing mode does not work. I can not follow de editing in the main window. I cah see it in the thumbnail.

From your description of the problem, I suspect that you have a standalone license but have downloaded and installed the CC update. Or, it's the other way around. In either case, you need to install the right version.

Page break for Smartform with multiple main window on pages

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement for printing 3 pages. The difference among the 3 pages is the main window part.
The main window contains not only internal table, also complicated texts like payment instructions etc.
The requirement is in each page, the data in internal table should be changed, also payment instruction should be changed accordingly.
e.g:
Main Window of Page 1
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 4O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 1
Main Window of Page 2
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 5O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 2
Main Window of Page 3
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 6O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 3
At first, I was using only one page 'Page1' with a variable page_no = 1 as default value, and use program line page_no = page_no + 1 as counter. when page_no = 2, use command for force page break to 'Page1', then under the command, change the internal table and payment instruction texts. when page_no = 3, ...
But I encountered an error saying:
Runtime Errors GEN_BRANCHOFFSET_LIMIT_REACHED
Short text
Jump distance is too large and cannot be generated.
So I created 3 pages, with different main window M_window1, M_window2, M_window3 for each page. In page1, after printing the M_window1, page_no = 2, use command to go to page2, but page2 is never printed. I think this is because only one main window can exist in a smartform? but why smartform allows creating individual main window for different pages? what's the use of such main window?
By the way, what's the use of command for force page break? only work for one main window in a smartform?
Getting back to my requirement, I think I should still use one page and command for page break. I am trying to solve this.
Thanks.
Li Jun Da.

Now I am using 3 pages: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3.
Page 2, Page 3 are copies of Page 1 with main window renamed as second window: mw 2, mw 3.
I also created 2 command nodes in main window of page 1: cmd 2, cmd 3.
cmd 2 is for page break to Page 2, cmd 3 is for page break to Page 3.
The second window mw 2, mw 3 in Page 2, Page 3 can be displayed.
Even though, I still can't understand how main window of pages (not 1st page) can work.

Two main windows in smartform or two loops in one main window?

Hello All,
I have requirement in smartform where i want to print two diffrent data header and item data in the same page.
and in between these two data i want one template to be printed for item data .
Smartform is giving me error if i use two main windows
if i use two loop nodes in the main window thn how to restrict the data getting over flowed to template(item data)
scenario is
header data****
**item header**
item data****
Pls comment....
Regards,
Sunny

As main window can only be one, so try it this way:
Under main window create a TEXT1 for header text( first header) than a LOOP1 for looping the header table, under that first create a TEXT2 for header data, than below it create another TEXT3 for header text ( Second header), than below it add a LOOP2 for looping item table and in that add a where condition than under it a TEXT4 for item data .
MAIN_WINDOW
    TEXT1                                     " first header
    LOOP1                                    " header table
        TEXT2                                 " header data
        TEXT3                                  " Second header
        LOOP2                                " item table with where condition
            TEXT4                             " item data
With luck,
Pritam.

How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?

Hi any body explain me...
How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?
with header data in one main window,
& Item data in other main window.

HI..,
u need to go for SPLITTING THE MAIN WINDOW !!!
Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
Here is the procedure !!
-->Create a page window and assign it to a page.
Choose Edit --> Main windows.
A dialog box appears.
-->Enter values in the fields Area width and Area height in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
-->Enter values in the fields Spacing and Number in the Horizontal group if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the Horizontal and Vertical groups.
-->The value in the field Left margin varies from main window to main window if multiple columns are used. The following applies:

Left margin of current column + Window width + Horizontal spacing = Left margin of next column
In label printing, the field Upper margin also varies from main window to main window:

Upper margin of current main window + Window height + Vertical spacing = Upper margin of next main window
-->Enter a value in the field Start position.
This is a counter. Enter a starting value which is equal to or greater than 1.
-->The main windows are added to the list.
-->Save your form.

How to pop new window in running main window

i have to popup a sub windopw in main window....and i need to plot common data to be printed on front panal...
i am usind daq ...can i share same daq in main and sub window...hao??or can i share some calculated value in main and sub window of labview.,,pleasehelp me fast

As KoenR has said - you can use SubVIs and set them to 'Show front panel when called' which will make them show as new windows in your application.
As for sharing the data, you could use something like a notifier (under synchronisation) for broadcasting the data to the SubVI. If you create the notifier in your main application, with a send notification VI and then pass the reference to the notifier into the SubVI when you call it which has a 'wait on notification' VI it will then receive the data form the main loop.
If you look in the LabVIEW examples under 'notifiers' you will find 'Pass Data with Notifiers' which demonstrates how to use notifiers to pass data to SubVIs.

How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

Hi champs,
Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: 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.

How can I get the favorites from my favorites tool bar to open in the main window and not the sidebar?

I created a favorites toolbar. When I click on some of the icons, they open in the main window like I expect. Others open in a sidebar which I do not want and cannot even get to full size. How do I get all of them to open in the main window?

Generally, Bookmarks that open in the Sidebar are from links that you clicked on on web sites to add their Bookmark. To change that, right-click on the Bookmarks, opening in the Sidebar, choose "Properties" and un-check "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".

Thanks,

Hi r u talking about Snmartform if yes
Let us take the page you are using as PAGE1, you can achuve this using the Command Node. call the same page after 6 items as follows
1.create Table.--->Main area , Header and footer.
2.Declare a variable V_count type sy-tabix.
a.Now click on the table tab>Main Area>right Create>Command (insert a command node after the Line type you r using to print the data), in this COMMAND node give the condition V_COUNT = 6. GOTO>PAGE1 (it maens you r triggering the new page after the 6 lines.
b. after this command noder insert the Program lines heate increase the value of V_COUNT.
Maintain another variable the use that for page totals...
total can be doneautomatically by using the TABle-->CALCULATION TAB.
let me know if you more clear info, iam sure u r problem willbe solved.
