Iphoto problems with yosemite upgrade

We just recently upgraded to yosemite and upgraded iPhoto and now it won't recognize the pictures stored on our external hard drive. We have all our pictures stored there because the memory on the mac isn't big enough but now it won't pull them up when we go to File/Switch to Library. I've got iPhoto 9.6. Help please!

Sorry but a ThreadJacker introduced a totally different probhere making this thread very confusing
the answer to your problem is

It's connected through a USB port. Hmmm let me try to see what format it is in. When I click on the info it says it is in that format (with case-sensitive in there). It is a 1 TB drive with 102 GB remaining.
That is the problem - the iPhoto library must be on a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - you need to move it to a correctly formatted drive and hopefully it had not been permanently damaged by being on an incorrectly frmatted drive

Has anyone had problem with Yosemite upgrade in mac air startup?

Since Yosemite upgrade my Mac Air has been slow to start up compared to to previous OS's. I have been patient in waiting for a fix or an explanation. If it is an accepted startup procedure, ok, but explain it. The sales pitch still sell the notebook as a quick startup, a second. Please advise if it is mine or an accepted OS quirk. Thank you.

Hanna,
Is this a slow white progress bar on a black screen boot slowness, or afterwards, including while the Desktop appears?
I suggest looking into your System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items tab. See if Safari is in the list, or something that wants to open a web link, and this launches the browser. You can remove these with the - button below the listing.
I have a 2014 MBA that was upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10.1. It didn't boot in a second with Mavericks either. That is an unrealistic boot performance expectation. It does however boot to a Finder Desktop within 12 seconds, and that is good enough for me. Wake from Sleep is one second.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

Problems with auto upgrade Anyconnect 3.1

Hello,
I'm having problem with auto upgrade of Anyconnect 2.5 to 3.1.
Here is the situation :
I have ASA5510 running ASA 8.4.5 and clients are running Anyconnect 2.5.3055 and 3.1.00495 with 2 different profiles.
Clients with 2.5 can upgrade to 3.1 but then receive an "Invalid host entry" when they try to connect with new client. It works if they use FQDN instead of profiles. It's the same situation with Windows 7, Mac OS X and linux.
If I configure client software back to 2.5 on ASA, it works again for every client.
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks for your reply.
Yann

I have seen the same behavior on Mac OS X. A couple of points for me:
If I delete the profiles from /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile then I can connect once (using the FQDN) but it then downloads the client profile and on next attempted connection it receives "invalid host entry." My profiles use the FQDN of my ASA and both forward and reverse DNS resolution are configured properly.
My workaround is to remove the AnyConnect Client Profile entirely, but I can get away with that because I have a very simple setup, with all users in one default group. If I had to pass different profile information to different users that would not be a solution.
Second, better workaround: I just exported the client profile, imported it under a different name, edited the new client profile to remove the server address, and assigned the new profile to the group policy. At their next login, users get all the profile settings and since the client remembers the FQDN they used to connect it doesn't adversely affect the user experience.

#1 Do a complete bootable backup of your drive before upgrading. That way should anything happen you can revert back to the start and try again.
Make sure you meet Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575

Problems with Yosemite so far?

Problems with Yosemite so far: WIFI still seems a bit problematic, Safari on new update doesn't play youtube (neither hyperlinks nor for youtube's site), Problem connecting iPhone 6 to my MBP (late 2013, BT compatible) and turning Hotspot using continuity. Sorry guys, but it doesn't seem like the apple we all like, perfection-wise. any suggestion what to do? Maybe downgrading back to mavericks (god forbid, but it was an excellent OS)?

Book with I Photo 9.6 problem with yosemite

I did some books with I Photo 9.6 in the past and it was working perfectly. Then I installed Yosemite and now when I tried to do a new book and try to use the disposition button and the function Personnelize ( choice of 2, 3 , 4 and more photos in a page with title or not ) I have a small line in the middle of the picture and the place I normally wrote my text is pink. I already reboot my I Mac ( 27 inches, Processor 3.5 Ghz Intel core i7, 8 gig Ram DDR3.......new machine ) and it is the same problem. I can't find anything actually on the web to help me. I hope you will do. Thank you

details please - what version of iPhoto did you upgrade from - what is the exact error message?
As a wild guess if you upgraded form iPhoto '08 version 7.x.x or earlier you need to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrader - it will be installed in tehutilities folder of you application folder - double-click on it to run it and then launch IPhoto to coplete the upgrade

IPhoto compatibility with Yosemite

I just upgraded to Yosemite today and now I can't open iPhoto. When I try to, it says it's not compatible with Yosemite and I need to upgrade in the App Store. I don't have a problem upgrading iPhoto but I want to make sure that I can without losing my photos. Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Lanny, I realize that there is a software update for iPhoto. I just want to make sure that I can run the update without losing my photos. Allan, I have Time Machine set up and run backups regularly. Would that be sufficient should I have a problem updating iPhoto?

Problem with yosemite and parallels

Since I have upgraded to yosemite and parallels 10 my windows 7 has been using a lot of CPU resources. Windows 7 runs very slow and it been using almost constantly 100% of one of the quads resources. This just started to happen when I upgraded, because I did not have this problem with Mavericks and Parallels 9 or 10. I have an iMac 2011, 8GB of Ram. Has anybody had this issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I was searching on a parallels forum website and found the following:
As from the symptoms, the issue can lie in NVRAM preferences of your particular Mac.
Please do the following to solve:
open Terminal application on Mac (Applications/Terminal.app)
please type this command (you may copy-paste it to the terminal from this message):
sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0xd4e"
Hit Enter.
You will be prompted to enter Mac user password. Please type it and hit Enter.
Note: you won't see what you are typing, just type and hit Enter. If you don't have Mac user password, please create a temporary one.
Then you may restart your Mac and the issue should be solved.
If not - please reply me here and I'll create a ticket for you in Support.
I did the above and it seemed to correct the problem.

Problems with a Restore after trying to resolve problems with Yosemite

Hi there,
I stupidly upgraded my OS to Yosemite without waiting a month or so for any problems to be fixed.
After the upgrade which went really well, or so I thought, all my apps worked, and I was very happy with it until I switched to Bootcamp to to find that I didn't have the option to select Bootcamp as startup. Although I had the BC icon on my Mac desktop, and I could access it from my Mac, I couldn't switch over.
So I did a restore to a timestamp just before my Yosemite upgrade - and this went... sort of well... I panicked when I thought I'd lost all my 10's of thousands of emails but the rebuild went well. The problems I have with my restore are that some of my applications are missing - I just get a '?' in the dock and it tells me what the apps are when I hover my pointer on them. The apps are;
System Preferences
Safari
Preview
Skype
Vox
VLC
uTorrent
Tunnelblick
Quicktime Player
My Pages documents no longer open - it says The required index.xml file is missing but it does manage to show me a quick view in spotlight
I have seen on this forum that this can be due to having more than one version Pages but I can only find one version in Application/iWork '09
I can't see why Safari wouldn't be present because I thought it was part of the operating system, as in Preview as well. I thought that maybe they are still on my Mac but need some sort of reset or something...
My bootcamp problem has been resolved by the way and I can switch to my Windows apps that I use regularly.
So I would really be grateful for help in restoring the apps above. I was thinking that apps I downloaded like Skype and Vox say, I can download again, but maybe I need to delete files etc. before reinstalling these missing ones.
Many thanks, Maz

Hmmm, problem resolved by restoring forward to my Yosemite backup.
It's the lesser of two evils and I have my Windows apps on my old PC...
So come on Apple and get this fixed - it's absolutely disgraceful that this should happen... absolutely disgraceful!

Problems with Yosemite and Microsoft Exchange?

Hi, everyone, I upgraded all of my computers I work on to Yosemite (home and work); my iPhone and iPad both run IOS 8.1. I have 2 Gmail accounts that I use regularly; my job (university) is using Microsoft Exchange for the mail server. I use MacMail; don't really like Outlook for mail things.
I have periodically had some problems with pulling my job e-mail up on MacMail; since I converted to Yosemite, it has gone on steroids. I can see all of my Gmail just fine (contrary to some others who have reported problems); anything that is Exchange-based mail on my job's e-mail account will show the sender and the subject—the message itself is blank, sometimes for minutes sometimes forever. I have quit and restarted Mail, quit and restarted the computer to varying success, but it is still highly unpredictable other than not showing the message for a very long time.
When I use the web-based version of Outlook, it instantly shows everything. An A-B comparison of Outlook and Mail sometimes even has some messages not having even been downloaded into Mail, even though I have clicked on Get Mail.
And—in the iPhone and iPad, everything is fine 100% of the time. Works wonderfully.
Any ideas?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

IPhoto problem with email, export, editing...

Had my iMac upgraded with a new harddrive and Lion at my authorized retailer & service center. All has been good but did not use iPhoto much after the upgrade, but all seemed to be good.
Recently photographed a family occasion and now I experience the following problems;
1. After successful import I edit the pictures which leads to numerous crashes, seemingly randomly, but most frequently when jumping from editing one picture to the next.
2. Share, Email does not work, only a few of the selected pictures are sent, sometimes with a low resolution thumbnail instead of the desired picture. The selection process works normally, but when the mail has been formatted only a few or none picture are inserted, in any of the templates, including classic. The number of selcted photos and their size are reported normal, they just don't show up in the mail itself
3. Resorting to export to a folder, all of the pictures are exported, however not always with intact changes/edits???
I have previously never had any major problems with iPhoto up until this version, and am seriously considering ditching it after all the wasted time.
Any suggestions how to attack this problem in iPhoto 11 & 10.7 Lion? (I am unable to find any plist etc like in 10.6 and earlier)
Thanks for any hints and/or tips...

Hi Larry,
thanks for your quick reply...
The harddrive and all user data was transferred by the authorized service center. I able to see and use all the old pictures, so I think (and hope) my pictures were correctly transferred.
After reading this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3087683?start=45&tstart=0
and done minor edits to ALL the NEW (of today) pictures I want, it seems to file, export correctly. I did some additional minor adjustments (exposure, saturation, sharpness, etc) and behold, the export worked ok, including edits like crops, straightenings, etc, that were omitted without the "adjustments"...
It feels like some proper bugs to me, and will probably look for another more robust and flexible software to do my edits...
Recommendations?
Using Picasa sometimes, but read somewhere they use a hack to get to the iPhoto pictures & database, not sure I like that... Maybe I should go Aperture...???

Epson 3880 problems with Yosemite

I always used Epson 3880 for printing large (Super A3 size) prints and I have not seen a problem until I upgraded to Yosemite.
The printer is still printing OK, except the bottom 2cm are truncated, just white paper appears where there should be a part of the picture.
Since I print the same image as a test chart as before, using the same settings on my Epson 3880, as with Snow Leopard. I first suspected the PhotoShop, so tried using the Preview and other photo editing programs, the page is always truncated about 2cm, no matter what settings I used, Fit ti screen, or 100%, nothing affects the stubborn truncating. I tried downloading the latest Epson drivers, from Epson web site, even used their new Preview program, rebooted number of times, tried loading the paper from the front, from the rear, and the problem is persistent. I wasted half a dozen expensive Super A3 Premium Matte papers, not to mention ink.
Then, I tried booting in Boot-Camp, with Windows 8.1, installed the Epson 3880 drivers there and there was absolutely no problem. The test chart printed exactly how I set it up over a year ago, using borderless printing, with 100% coverage, no truncating!
So, I am suspecting the Yosemite has some issue with Epson 3880 and paper size?
Can anybody help?

Hi guys,
I am happy to report that my "truncating" problem with my Epson 3880 is now resolved.
I spoke today with Epson people and they just advised that I should install the previous drivers for this printer, v.9.33, which was for Maverick, not Yosemite.
I didn't know how to uninstall the current driver (v.9.34) built-in the Yosemite, so I only used the "-" sign under the printers to remove it.
I installed this one, and it works like it should be.
I am not sure if this is Epson or Apple problem, so perhaps Apple should act in embedding it in the Yosemite.
I will copy and paste this comment and send it to Apple support, as suggested by Cunnla (in case they don't ready this forum).
Thank you for all that tried to help.

Logic pro 9 problems with yosemite

I use a PreSonus Audio Box 22VSL audio interface to run my Logic 9 Pro studio and ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, it hasn't worked properly. What's the problem?

Assuming you are running the v1.3 version of the PreSonus Drivers/firmware etc... (and if not, try them out to see if they help even though they are only certified for 10.9.4)
http://www.presonus.com/support/downloads/AudioBox-22VSL
Then the problem is.. you didn't check to see if your 22VSL was compatible with Yosemite before you upgraded your OS X.....
Latest OS X & Logic Pro Compatibility Information
Solution?
Roll back to your previous configuration using the backups that you made before upgrading... (You did make backups yes?)
or...
Wait until PreSonus release updated drivers/firmware for their devices.... which may be a while yet based on their previous performance in doing so.

Photo Screen Saver not functioning with Yosemite Upgrade

Recently I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Yosemite. I have always used a folder in iPhoto for my screen saver via system preferences. Ever since the upgrade this folder will no longer function as the screen saver. The screen saver option in System Preferences always defaults to Apples National Geographic photos that is installed with Yosemite. After I select the folder I want I "preview" the screen saver and my photos are there. Once the screen saver kicks itself in, the NG photos are there and the system settings are back to NG photos and not my photos. Now, I will admit the NG photos are far above my photos, but I really prefer my photos. Is Apple evaluating photo quality on the screen savers? Kidding - any ideas?
Scott

I have the same issue.
Try this. I think this has worked for me. Only time will tell.
This solved my question by dominic23 on Oct 22, 2014 4:33 PM
Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
Look for these two files.
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Right click each one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
Restart the computer.
