IPhoto opens in a library that is no longer available & I cn't change the l

I am in iPhoto 6. I have multiple libraries that I keep on an external hard drive because my Powerbook HD is too small. I was importing photos to one of the libraries when I had a brief power outage - off then almost immediately on. When the external came back on line, all but 4 of the 1400 images were represented by dotted lines and an exclamation mark. I rebooted - no change. I rebuilt the thumbnails - no change. I tried changing libraries but when I start up iPhoto, it opens in the one I was working on. I disconnected the external - it opened in the library I was working on. I reinstalled iPhoto - same result. I am out of ideas! What do I do???

Disconnect the external, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /Volumes/ as the folder's path, move all of the folders inside to another location, connect the drive, and reopen iPhoto. These folders sometimes get created when the Mac tries to access a drive which isn't available to it.

  • I have 1000  photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read.  Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al.  What gives?

    It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
    Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
    No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
    Why use a Card Reader?
    Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
    Because it saves the battery on your camera
    Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
    Because it’s almost always faster.

    I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

  • I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account.  Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • Is it safe to delete iTunes media that is no longer available in the iTunes Store?

    There is a support document that states it is OK to delete content locally so long as the content is available in the cloud depending on your geographic location.  As I'm in the US all media types are available.  From the document:
    You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
    Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
    What I am still not clear on is if it is also safe to delete content that is no longer available in the iTunes store?  Will it still be available for previous purchases?
    I prefer the quality and off-line availability of iTunes media over Google Play but I've had issues recovering deleted media in iTunes in the past and so have less anxiety about the security of my purchases on Google Play versus iTunes.  Can someone confirm if items no longer available for sale in iTunes are or are not still available via the cloud?

    Thanks for the reply although I'm not too happy to hear it.  What's awesome about the cloud is no longer having to keep up with any physical media.  The promise of that is realized with everything else (my work, music, books) besides movies and TV.
    I wonder how Google Play will handle movies/tv that becomes unavailable?  Google Play does allow you to download media in some circumstances (on Android and iOS) but is generally intended  for streaming.  Maybe relying on a physical copy as I do with iTunes should make me more comfortable with it and not less. 
    I will come back to mark your reply as the solution as it becomes clear there is not a contrary position.  Thank you.

  • How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available?

    How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available? I have a Creative Cloud membership, and I want to deactivate a device that is no longer available. I would have thought that there would be an option to deactivate all devices somewhere in My Account, but I can't find it.

    Hi acornies,
    There is no such option readily available under which you are able to deactivate the product on all the devices . As per the EULA , you are able to install the product on two machines only and once you try to have the product installed on a third machine that would provide you with an error message and an option to deactivate the products on all the previous installation .
    So , if the machine that you would be installing the product onto is going to be your third machine , you will be getting an error message that you have reached your activation limit and there would be a button to click on continue to deactivate all the prev installation .
    Please let me know if this works for you .
    Regards,

  • How to obtain a release version that is no longer available on edelivery

    Once a new version has been released, the previous version is pulled from edelivery.oracle.com. For example, once 6.1.0.0 was released, 6.0.0.3 is no longer available for download.
    If you are an existing customer and you need to obtain a copy of a release that is no longer available on edelivery.oracle.com, you have to call Oracle support line # at 1.800.223.1711 to have the physical media mailed to you.
    Please be ready with the answers to the following questions:
    1) Is this a physical software media shipment request?
    Yes.
    2) Which product line does the media request involve?
    Oracle Agile Applications.
    3) Are you requesting a required password for a patch download?
    No.
    4) Are you requesting a patch on CD/DVD?
    No.
    5) If requesting a patch on CD/DVD, please provide the patch number and OS/platform?
    6) List the product name and version requested for physical media shipment? (Ex: E-business Suite 12.1.1)
    Prodika PLM4P 6.0.0.3 install media
    7) What is the OS/platform for the requested media? (Ex: Windows 32bit, Solaris SPARC 64bit)
    Windows 32 bit
    8) Are any languages required for this shipment?
    Yes.
    9) If language(s) required, please list them here.
    English

    If you click and drag it off the side bar whilst holding down the Command+Option (alt) keys it should turn into a cloud shape and when you let go, disappear.

    ''' "Support for remote XUL has long been a potential security concern; support for it was disabled in Gecko 2.0. " '''
    Very doubtful that the developers are going to ever reverse that decision, especially since they posted a workaround in that article and made it so that using a whitelist was possible via that extension.

  • So, I want to gift my old iPad  there are one or two apps that I'd like to pass along as well that are no longer available but function perfectly. Is there a way to pass them on to the new owner?

    I'm new to groups. So bear with me. I have a first generation iPad that I want to gift. There is a game on it that is no longer available but continues to work just fine and I'd like to include it with the iPad. Any way to do this?

    Thank you JB. I will try to shut down the analytical optimism that runs through my brain and live with this "ain't gonna happen" scenario...someday.
    I listen to a NPR classical music station and every year they give away a pod or pad(64G) that has a fine collection of classical music already installed on it. If iTunes is the only way to put music on an iPad how are they able to do this  and still give away an iPad that someone can "make their own"?

  • I cannot receive email properly now. When I open mail, it says that is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, it gives me my newest ones. But this takes a long time. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right setting

    I cannot receive email properly on either my IPad or my IPhone. I have had them for over a year and they have always worked fine. Until three days ago, when they both started acting up. On the IPad, when I open mail, it says it is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, which takes quite a while to get to, I finally get the most recent ones. The IPad is sending emails just fine.
    On my IPhone, when I open mail, it says it is downloading 100 emails, but it doesn't do that. And it gives me no new emails at all. The IPhone is sending email just fine.
    I have already deleted the email accounts on both devices and reinstalled them. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right settings. The Outlook email on my desktop is working perfectly.

    WMV is a heavily-compressed format/CODEC, and the processing time will depend on several factors:
    Your CPU, which is not that powerful in your case
    Your I/O sub-system, which is likely a single HDD on your laptop
    The source footage. What is your source footage?
    Any Effects added to that footage. Do you have any Effects?
    Each of those will have an impact on the time required.
    The trial has only one main limitation - the watermark. Now, there are some components, that have to be activated, but are not with the trial, but they would be evident with Import of your source footage, if it's an issue.
    Good luck,
