Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop. How do I get it to recognize it again?

Thank you so much for responding. I will look for the other disks.
One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key. In addition, it was running much slower. Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect. This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key. Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.

IPhoto won't recognize my memory card anymore

Usually when I put my camera memory card into my laptop, it shows up in my iPhoto and asks to download the pictures that I have not yet downloaded...today iPhoto is not recognizing my same memory card and it not even opening in iPhoto. I know there was an iPhoto update recently...is it something to do with that? Has anyone had this experience or know what I can do? Thanks!!

Have you tried any of the following?
Restarting your computer? Repairing permissions? Zapping the pram?
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.
Which os version are you using?

I made 2 playlists on Itunes and put them on my Ipod. How do I get the songs to play consecutively and not keep playing the same song over and over again???

I'm a new Zumba instructor and have to come up with playlists for my routines. I made 2 playlists on ITunes and put them on my Ipod. Everytime I want to play it, only one song from the list plays over and over. The other songs do not. How do I get the songs to play the way I have them set up??

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you need to get them from where you got them before.

Time Machine does not recognize my iMac backup. Reports: not enough space; can't back up. How do I get it to recognize the backup?

Time Machine does not recognize my 430 GB iMac backup on 1 terabyte Time Capsule. Reports: not enough space; can’t back up. How do I get it to recognize the old backup and continue backups?

Thanks for the Time Machine Troubleshooting link. Apparently things have changed since 10.7.0. Backups.backupdb doesn’t exist. Path now is: Time Capsule/Data/Daru’s iMac.sparsebundle. So I did Terminal (I usually avoid Terminal) using the instruction in B6. It does not appear to be working. It went through looking for backup, preparing backup, and is now stopping backup, and the TMBackup has disappeared from the sidebar.
Well, just now Time Machine progressed to preparing backup again; the Tiime Machine Backups appeared in sidebar, and with it Backups.backupdb/Daru’s iMac/2012-04-21-112939.inProgress. So it does exist... I’ll let it run, see what happens... But that is a strange date. Today is 28.
I’ll let you know the outcome.
Oops. Just ended! Real time report: “Backup too large for disk...“ So it is not recognizing the old backup. I’ll look at those instructions again, see if I can do the Terminal thing with the backup running. I doubt I can damage anything except the existing baackup which I'll lose anywy if I can’t achieve recognition.

How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?

I have a seagte back up plus. I pulled my hard drive out without ejecting it and now finder dosn't find it but I see it in disk utility (although I cant repair permissions) How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?
Thank you so much for any help

In Disk Utility you need to see a volume or partition in addition to the drive.
If all you see is the drive, then when you ejected it you proably corrupted the volume or partition on the drive.
If that is true then your chances of getting anything back are slim at best.
About the only thing I know that might work not is to send the disk out to a service for recovery. This is going to cost like $$$$.
Is the data worth that much?

Won't read my memory card

Hello! My macbook pro won't read my memory card (transcend) anymore. It used to work fine but I don't know why just recently it won't. I've tried the little lock and unlock option on the card but still nothing.
Help?

Iphoto doesn't read my memory card

Hi! I just switched to a mac so i don't really know my ways yet.
anyway, i was importing pictures to iphoto from a memory card using a USB memory card reader, then all of the sudden when i closed Iphoto and opened it again, my memory card can no longer be read.I tried my other CF and Memory sticks but with no luck.
I did eject the memory card properly. there was this one time though that i forgot to eject it and removed the memory card.
what do i do now? help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First lets get those photo off the card by dragging them to a folder on the desktop and import from there. Next delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reformat the card with the camera, take a couple of test shots and try again. See if that helps.
If the time you forgot to eject the card correctly was that last time you used the card then reformatting it with the camera should fix it.
For what its' worth I recommend uploading from a card reader to a folder on the desktop first. This assures that the files get safely on the hard drive before any other action is started. Then reformat the card for the next shoot using the camera. If you name that folder to describe what the photos are about the Event will also have that name. I also sequentially batch rename the files with the date of the shoot and a brief description.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My iPhone keeps saying No SIM. How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?

TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.
btw, is your network signal strong in the area where you are currently? Ask ATT if there is any area outage

I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged. My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons. It worked......would be worth a shot.

If you didn't import them to Photos or copy them to the hard drive there will be no way to recover them.
How did you view them?

How do you get Photos to recognize the "old" iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

How do you get Photos to recognize the “old” iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

Launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key.
This will show the Library Chooser panel. Select the library on the external drive. Photos will create a Photos Library on the same drive.
Photos may not be able to open the library, however, if your external drive has an incompatible file system. It needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and locally mounted, not a remotely mounted volume, as described here: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

You may not be able to get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the problem was on their end preventing the movie from downloading in a reasonable time.
Good luck.
