iphoto6: several issues: 1st my library is so messed up, everytime I delete a photo, in the next moment I look at a file & the deleted photo has quadrupled, as with files, dates are all wrong, missing a few years.............

Sounds like your database is damaged.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I just downloaded 950 photos on iPhoto and deleted them off my camera and now under last import there is only 4 photos and i can't find the others?? There is a whole bunch of blank events in the library with no photos in them all with todays date? Help!!

    Yes - you need a min of 10 GB just to operate - with just 1 you certainly can lose photos and other critical things - you need to make space immediately - probably by moving your iPhoto library to a volume formatted Mac OS extended -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • My friend has an iphone with no data plan, how do i send sms messages without my own iphone trying to send an imessage

    i have an iphone5 with a data plan, my friend has an iphone5 with no data plan, 
    how do i send sms messages to him without my own iphone trying to send an imessage
    im sure we can tap on the message and select "send as text or sms"
    but is there a setting that says 'if recipient has no data, then send as text' - so its more automated
    almost like the setting that says 'if i have no data then send sms'.

    I have an iPhone 5s with a data plan but I have iMessage turned off. Everyone I know with an iPhone has no problem sending me texts and they automatically go out as sms. If your friend doesn't want others to send messages via iMessage even when he has wi-fi access he can turn iMessage off in Settings > Messages.  If that doesn't resolve the issue see the quote below from (ignore the non-Apple phone references): Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
    If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

  • Oicnnot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00. The emails keep multiplying in my inbox

    I cannot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00

    I have this problem too.
    The entire email says
    ((No Sender)
    (No Subject)
    This message has no content
    Two are dated 12/31/69
    and one came in today at 8:34pm (This last one has a "2" next to it which may indicate there are two of them?)
    There is no trash icon on the screen and there doesn't appear to be ny way to delete them.
    How do I delete them?

  • Error: A previous document of this type has been created with later date

    hi
    when i am adding invoice with a particular date.
    and if i am adding  another invoice for same customer with date previous to the first one i am getting this error
    pls tell the error were i have made and how to slove the error

    Om,
    Pleae check the following ...
    Marketing document with earlier posting date not added
    Symptom
    Error message: 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date.' and the document is not added.
    Other terms
    AR, AP, invoice, credit memo, reserve invoice, wizard, document, generation, past, previous, posting date, settings, initialisation, SAP Business One
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Business requirement that marketing documents with an earlier date than the current system date are entered.
    Solution
    Under Administration -> System Initialisation -> Document Settings -> Tab 'General' is a tickbox 'Block Documents with Earlier Date'.
    If this box is ticked, the error message 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date.' is received and the document cannot be added. This affects the following documents:
    AR and AP Invoice
    AR and AP Credit Memo
    AR and AP Reserve Invoice
    If the box is unticked, the system displays the message: 'A previous document of this type has been created with a later date. CONTINUE or CANCEL.' If 'Continue' is chosen, the document can be added.
    This setting will also affect documents to be processed by the 'Automatic Summary Wizard'.

  • Has anyone had a photo syncing problem sine the last iOS or iTunes update wher the sort order has been changed back to date order, when before the update you photos were synced in file name order??

    Syncing from pc to iPhoto imbedded in iPad... I spent hundreds of hours naming jpeg files/pics, and they were ordered properly ((per my naming, like 0001 bla bla.jpeg, 0002 blah blah.jpeg, etc.... They were syncing perfectly in order, until last SW update... Now, still in right order on pc, but last sync scrambled them all back to date order on iPad after sync... Any ideas?

    Thanks for your response. I thought there was something I wasn't doing right or something I was missing.
    Aperture and Mobileme syncing is really "hit or miss", unpredictable. Especially after a manual arrangement of the order of photos within an album. And selection of the "key photo" is also hit or miss. Sometimes it sticks. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sticks for a bit and then reverts back to the 1st photo of the album.
    It's ironic that one of Apple's motto is "it just works"! In this case, it really doesn't work!

    Did you already try to reset the sync history?
    If you find that some of your data syncs to your device but you see an unexpected number of changes or modifications, you may need to reset your sync history. This causes iTunes to prompt to Merge or Replace information on the device when you next attempt to sync your information. To reset your Sync History:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.

  • When backup the imac with time capsule, the time machine will show error with volumes/data/imac/sparsebundle could not be created??

    Can anyone help with the above situation??

    There are a number of things that cause the problem.
    http://pondini.org/TM/C17.html
    Usually if you go to disk page in manual setup of the airport utility (5.6 of course as 6 is a toy), disconnect all users and it will then work ok again.
    The issue is Lion (maybe contributed to by the 7.6 and later firmware).
