IPhoto will not let me type in event names properly

Just updated to OS X Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5. Now I can't properly name new events or change names of existing events in iPhoto. After I click on the event name, the program kicks me out after typing 1 or 2 characters. Sometimes I can't even get in 1 character successfully. Please HELP!!! (This is not a keyboard problem - same problem comes up on both my MacBook keyboard and my separate keyboard.)

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 delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

The thing is, this MUST be an Audition CC issue for two reasons. One, everything worked fine in CS6, which I was using right before I upgraded to CC. I even did a clean install of it by removing CS6 completely.
All versions of Audition can co-exist on the same machine quite happily - there is no interaction between them at all, and the system was designed to be like this. So there's nothing to stop you keeping CS5.5, CS6, CC and even Audition3 on the same machine.
The other thing I'm wondering about is Windows 8. There have been a considerable number of complaints about this doing weird things, including with Audition. I have a system that in many ways is very similar to yours, except that I don't overclock the mobo, and use a professional sound device (or two) with it (RME). The major difference though is that I use Windows 7 pro 64-bit, and I haven't had any of these problems at all. Yes I use it for a living, as well, but I don't bother with multiple DAWs - don't have time for all that these days. But I do use iZotope's RX software in its standalone mode without any difficulty.
I'm not claiming that Audition CC is trouble-free - any number of Mac users will confirm that - but people running it on W7 certainly seem to have far fewer problems with it. It may also be worth trying an uninstall-reinstall of CC - you never know. But differences in preview quality certainly point towards audio drivers, I'm afraid...

My 2 week old ipad randomly shuts down and sometimes will not let me type web address into browser.

Sometimes my ipad will just restart itself (the screen goes black, and the apple icon appears and then it's back on). The battery will be higher than 50%. Also, when this is occurring frequently, the web browser will not let me type an address in. When I tap on the address bar it sends me back to my home screen. It will connect to the internet during this time, so I know it's not a internet connection problem.

When in doubt, reboot. Press and hold the sleep and power buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider. You may simply be overwhelming the memory. From time to time, doulbe click on the home button to see the task bar. Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them by touching the minus sign.

Meredith199,
does your MacBook Pro have an Eject key (⏏) in the top-right corner of the keyboard? If so, does pressing Control-⏏ show a restart/sleep/shutdown dialog box?
If you press Shift-⌘Q, does your MacBook Pro recognize that as an attempt to log out?

Firefox will not let me type AT ALL

Okay, this is really strange... FIrefox has been working as a wonderful browser for me for over three years now, and I've never had more than an occasional small problem with it. I was using it this morning, up until about 5 today and after playing a game, I decided I wanted to google something and went to firefox. I tried to type something, and it would *not* let me type anywhere, including the URL bar, and the search bars etc. It is not a problem with my keyboard, because I can still type things in Chrome and notepad etc without a problem. I'm wondering if it was something I pressed? I restarted it several times with no success, and even started it in 'safe mode' with no change. Please help!

Did you try to restart Firefox and possibly reboot the computer?
You can also check for problems with extensions and plugins.

Also make sure that you haven't switched the keyboard layout for Firefox. Windows remembers the keyboard layout per application.

In mail and the keyboard will not let me type into it, help!

Can anyone help to answer why when I am trying to type in my emails the keyboard sometimes will not come up and other times it comes up but will not type on the screen?

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

My iCal will not let me add new events since Jan. 1,2013. I get an error message that directs me to the console, whatever this is. Frustrating and confusing!!!

My iCal will not allow me to add any new entries. I get an error message that says I encountered a critical error while saving to data base and directs me to te console whatever this is??? This just started after the first of the year?

My iCal worked fine on my MacBook Pro so I ran Chronosync between my MacBook Pro laptop and iMac, the problem seems to have disappeared. Both computers have a working iCal now and I have my fingers crossed that they will stay so!!!

I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, after downloading them I deleted them off my memory card. Now, iPhoto will not let me look at the pictures and the album in which I put them is empty. Where did they go? What should I do? Help please!

I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, and then deleted them off my memory card. I tried looking at the pictures and they are no wheere to be found, the album in which they were is empty, and I looked everywhere for them. Where did they go? What should I do?

Check to make sure the iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to copy photos into the library when importing, i.e. a "managed" library:
If it is and you don't see any thumbnail in the Event they should be in apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you are unable to get iPhoto to recover the photos MediaRECOVER can be used on the memory card to recover the photos as long a they haven't been overwritten. It will run in demo mode so you can see if it will recover the photo before you have to purchase it.

Unless I'm in safe-mode, Firefox will not let me type more than one letter.

I just received a new hard drive yesterday for my Inspirion N5110 (Windows 7). Firefox worked okay shortly, but has since begun to freeze after I type one or two letters. So if I type "nytimes.com" only the n appears. However, Firefox IS registering that I'm typing them, just not showing it. The same principal applies when I click on options. It will open me to the current tab (general) but let me go no further. But if I click on, say, advanced in the options it will open to the advanced AFTER I close it and reopen options, and the problem still persists, only this time on the advanced tab.
Reinstalling Firefox has not changed anything, only safe-mode works. Disabling plug-ins has not helped either.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
