Just messed up

Here's the problem: I have about 17,000 photos. At some point about half of them ended up in the trash, which is not where I wanted them. It happened when I used a Duplicate Annihilator. Anyway, it's taken me a lot of re-installing and iPhoto Library Manager-ing, but I finally got the photos back in the main library! Yea. It took about 7 hours, but I got them.
But now I can't close iPhoto. It won't quit. And when I do a force quit and reopen it all the photos are back in the trash. 7 hours later I got them back in the library, but still can't quit iphoto. It just sits there, mocking me.
Suggestions? I've run permissions repair, ran Library Manager.

Backup the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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 User/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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

How can I get a form back that I just messed up?

How can I get a form back that I just messed up on forms central. It was perfect and I just ruined it!!!

Hi;
If you still have the form open, on the Design tab you can use the "Ctrl+Z" to undo changes multiple times (CMD+Z on Mac).
One thing to note for future, if you have a form that is in a good state and you are going to experiment with more changes you can (assuming a paid account that allows more than 1 form) Duplicate the form so you can work in the duplicate and then copy those changes back once you are satisfied with them.
Thanks,
Josh

Is Apple Just Messing With Us or What??! (Can't change AppleID!)

This is seriously messed up! Not only can I not change the AppleID on an iPod Touch... I cannot even log in... never mind that, I cannot even VIEW messages on this forum any longer!! Not through my Firefox browser, anyway - viewing an old message from this forum in Google takes me to the create account page! There's not even an option to login if you already have an account! Its only possible to access this forum in Safar, even after I changed my UserAgent in FF to Safari/Mac! This is messed up! Anyway... the main problem:
1. I just want to change the AppleID on an iPod Touch (IOS 8.3). This is not an "insanely great" experience.... it's an "insanely bad" one! First off, every IOS8 guide on the net I've been able to find on the subject does not work! They talk about a DELETE button that does not exist! Ok... so its "sign out". Well there is no "sign out" only "sign in". But fine, i created an iCloud account. Except I can't access this account via iCloud on my web browser, says "ICloud Encountered An Error While Trying To Connect To Server". ...Rubbish! It simply won't log me in no matter what! Not even on Safari browser! (I know it's not an Apple-side server problem when another AppleID logs me into iCloud without issue!).
2. There are now TWO places to sign in on the iPod, "iCloud" and "iTunes" -- I tried signing in the new iCloud account in both menus, no go! (In the iTunes menu, it keeps showing the OLD AppleID email address!). The error I get is "Your AppleID Must Be A Full Email Address To Sign Up". ....Rubbish! It's a HOTMAIL email address, how much "fuller" can it get? This insane error points me to the AppleID website to fix the problem, but does not say how the heck you are supposed to fix it once in the site! Well, all I know then is I click "Manage AppleID" button, there is my Hotmail email address, all verified and green check-marked.
Yet the iPod won't accept the account!
I"m more of an Apple expert than anyone I know... are they serious??! Apple really expect regular customers to go through this and understand why its not working? I can't even come close to sorting out this problem!
Does anyone out there know how I can change the AppleID on an IOS 8.3 iPod Touch?? Please help save a brand new iPod Touch from being maliciously smashed with a brick in an irrational last straw effort at revenge!

Hi,
There is no network problem - this is not a network problem thing. The problem accessing this forum may be restricted to Firefox... but it is still a very weird problem, the likes of which I have never seen. I don't know what is causing this behaviour, but I don't see how Firefox alone would cause the site to redirect to the create account page. Thus I was convinced Apple Discussions was restricting people from viewing solutions and participating here, if they did not use Safari!
Now as for the problem with the iPod... There were no restrictions set. It turns out, the reason I could not log in to the account via the iPod nor via iCloud (on the web), had to do with the account itself! Despite having changed the password to this account, despite the AppleID site telling me the email was verified and green-checked, the Apple ecosystem choked itself on this account! it was a Kafka-esque nightmare trying to use this account; whereby the AppleID site would tell it me it could not find the account (when I entered the name, etc), and then when I tried to create a new account using the information I entered to find the unfindable account, the site would tell me I could not do that because that account was already registered!!
If I did not know any better, I'd have to assume the entire AppleID system was programmed by grade school kids on their lunch break.
The solution to this hours-long nightmare came from simply creating a new account with a new email address. Suddenly, the iPod and everything accepted that information!
With Apple making their customers jump through hoops of fire like this, I'm now starting to understand why so many people are opting for Android devices!

My Zen Vision:M is just messed up... Please he

Okay, I've had my Zen for about 2 months now. When I first installed it, everything was working like a dream. i loved it.
But then I had to reformat my computer, and thats when Hell broke loose.
I installed the software that came with it, restarted and everything. I plugged in my player and I got the "Unrecognized Device" Beep. I couldnt get my computer to recognize it for the life of me.
So, I searched around Google and found a thread in these forums. Apparently there are a lot of people having the same problem. The user 'DM' posted the fixes for it and everything.
So, I installed those and I got it to work. "YESSSS" I thought to myself.
Well, now things are messed up again... And I have no idea what caused it.
I tried reinstalling the software and reinstalling the fixes. No prevail.
And the weirdest thing is happening. I plug it in, and I get the "Doo Doo" USB sound that comes up like it recognizes it. But It doesnt recognize it. It lies.
And so if I unplug it, MY COMPUTER RESTARTS.
So, I have it plugged in, and in the Device manager, it recognizes it as an MTP Device. It says its working properly. The driver is up to date and everything. But if I click either 'Disable' or 'Uninstall', my computer restarts.
When the player is plugged in, it charges and everything, BUT MY COMPUTER WON'T READ IT!!!!
What can I do to fix this TRAVESTY?!

Is there any hope?
It seems that when people buy these things, they work perfectly fine up until they reformat their computer, then it stops working.
What's the deal?
Everytime I unplug my Vision:M, my computer just restarts... And I don't know why. I've set the USB permissions, I have all latest drivers. I have tried both WMP 0 & with all their fixes/updates.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't sync my player at all with my computer.
Is Creative going to release a Firmware/Software update that fixes all these connection problems?

I think I've just messed too much with my install

Hi
Recently, I have upgraded my system using the [testing] repo.
Then I wanted to downgrade, and as I read somewhere here on the board, the only way of doing so is to manually remove packages and reinstall them after removing [testing] from pacman.conf.
So I did just this:
pacman -Rd cairo cairomm camsource db dcron device-mapper dia digikam dmraid dosbox doxygen firefox gd ghostscript glib2 gnome-python-extras graphicsmagick graphviz gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gthumb gtk2 gzip imagemagick imlib2 initscripts inkscape jasper kdebase-runtime kdebase-workspace kdegraphics-gwenview kdegraphics-kamera kdegraphics-kcolorchooser kdegraphics-kgamma kdegraphics-kolourpaint kdegraphics-kruler kdegraphics-ksnapshot kdegraphics-libs kdegraphics-okular kdelibs kdelibs3 kfax kile kipi-plugins klibc klibc-extras klibc-module-init-tools klibc-udev lcms libcap libcups libdjvu libdrm libgphoto2 libjpeg libmng libpng librsvg libtiff libvncserver libwebkit libwmf lvm2 mdadm mjpegtools mplayer nano netcfg obex-data-server octave opencv openoffice-base-devel pciutils pcmciautils php php-apache php-cgi php-curl php-gd php-mcrypt php-pear php-sqlite php-xsl pilot-link plotutils pm-utils poppler poppler-glib poppler-qt povray pstoedit pyqt python-qscintilla qscintilla qt qt3 redland rrdtool sdl_image slim sqlite3 texlive-bin thunar thunderbird tightvnc udev util-linux-ng vigra vlc wireless-regdb wxgtk xawtv xf86-video-intel xfce4-notifyd xine-lib xulrunner xz-utils zvbi
Now pacman won't work, because of missing xz-utils, which is used by libarchive, which pacman itself depends on.
What to do to save my system?

I don't think it would be hard to use the Arch Linux install CD, do a live boot, "chroot", and then use pacman as usual.
I think that makes sense. Doesn't it?
Wouldn't it be the same problem then?
I mean, if you chroot to the install, xz-utils will still be missing. Or does pacman use the stick's binaries also from within chroot?

Someone please help. I think I just messed something up really bad.

I wanted to change the name of my home folder so I proceeded to type this into the terminal wherein I wrote my old home folder name in place of "oldname" and my desired home folder name in place of "newshortname.": sudo mv /Users/oldname /Users/newshortname
I then logged out and logged back in to find my dock and background reset to the default, and most of my files missing (my applications remained because they are not stored in the home folder). I am extremely nervous that I just reset my computer, but I checked my disk utility app and it tells me that I have used
86.23 GB out of 319.21 total GB in my hard drive. Now, there is no way that I could have deleted all of the files in my home folder and still have around 85 GB of disk space used up. So my question is: how do I find my old home folder again so that I can access all of my files?

Go to system prefs and naviagte to accounts, then select your account and control click on that account, it should give you an advanced optiotn select it and point to your home folder in the home folder field.

Submit buttons are gone on many websites and other sites are just messed up since 3.6.13

Messed up: MSN Hotmail
I have a multiple blueish overlay over the words "Inbox" & "Folders"
The overlay has wording...more actions for Inbox or Folders/depending on which word it is laying over. (This is only in the Firefox browser)
I wish to remove that option not knowing how it got there and it serves me no purpose.
Several sites, and I cannot name them all so I will name one "YahooAnswers" where one answers a question and hits the "Submit" button. The submit button is now gone and there is no indication that it ever was there. The mouse "can see it" and activate the empty spot (and it is only after activation does the word "Submit" reappear.
Both of these issues are only when I use the Firefox browser and it seem with the update version 3.6.13
I am using XP.
My only recourse (to me) is to kick it back to an older browser version.
I have used Opera and there is none of this problem anywhere.
I.E.6sp1 is clean as well.

See:

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_look_wrong
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
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")

Need help! Screen just messed up and i don't know ...

So i was just sitting checking my my Phone, and decided to go for a ride on my bicycle while it was in my pocket. (There was nothing in my pocket at then time, except for an eraser i had.
So I come home to see this!! Every time I press on the screen it gets more visible, so I doubt that it could have pushed it. I am able to get my fingernail behind the screen, and then it gets less visible, so I have no idea of what has happend!?!

If it was in a trouser pocket whilst you were pedalling your bike, then chances are it has become bent slightly in the process and damaged the screen. Unlike walking or running, cycling involves your legs moving at much more extreme angles and items in trouser pockets, back or front, are subject to higher stresses.

I'm pretty sure I just messed up the internet in my house...

Basically, while I was away at college, my dad bought a WRT54G2 router for the house. I came home and realized it needed a password. I asked my dad what it was, and I typed it in.
Before I continue, all computers involved in this story are Macs, minus one PC laptop. Two desktops, two laptops - all bought within the last four years. So I typed in the password, and it wouldn't let me hit Enter. Apparently it was one character too short to be entered. I don't know how many of you deal with Apple's strange Airport firmware. Anyway, I was curious as to how it was working on my mom's desktop, seeing as she's only getting the signal. Then I checked out my dad's (the one that's closest to the router/modem), and his wasn't even connected to the Airport. He was hardwire connected via Ethernet.
So I attempted to configure the router using the only know-how I had. I entered the IP address and restored factory defaults. I reinstalled the disc that came with the router and customized the password and network name. I used the same password that was inputted last time, and it STILL didn't work. Now the internet isn't working period... on any computer. Not even my dad's.

Who is your ISP...?
Do you have any hard-wired computer which is able to go online..?
Connect the computer to the router on Ethernet port and open the setup page of the router by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar...Now,click on the Wireless tab..Click on mannual..Now,if you are using the SSID(Network Name) "linksys" then,change it to some unique name..Change the Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings....Under the Wireless Security check the Security/Network Key..If you are using WEP then,use Key1 to connect the network...Now,check.

Removing Quicktime just messed up itunes. Ooops!

So for some reason I removed quiktime (don't ask why ) and now itunes is sluggish, won't play songs, and browser feature won't work. I tried removing the program and re-installing but the problem remains! Any Ideas?

So for some reason I removed quiktime (don't ask why ) and now itunes is sluggish, won't play songs, and browser feature won't work.
that's unusual. your itunes shouldn't be launching at all if you've got no QuickTime on the PC. (it should be giving you an "itunes has encountered an error" message every time you try to launch it.)
what version of itunes do you have on the PC? to doublecheck, head into your "help > about itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom.
in your Add/Remove programs, is there an entry for QuickTime currently showing up?
do you have a copy of "QuickTime Alternative" running on that PC?

I was messing arouond with the general settings and I turned on the voice (under General settings) and when the screen timed out, I can't get it to take my 4 number passcode to get into my ipad. Please help! I'm totally locked out!

I would appreciate any help I can get. I was just messing around with the general setting on the ipad (64GB 3G...1st edition ipad), and did not realize that if I went under the general settings and changed the option to turn "on" the voice over, that it would require a double click on everything automatically. I have my ipad set up to lock after 2 minutes on non-use, and when I tried to sign back in, it said that my 4 digit passcode was incorrect. Then I tried to double click on each number, and that didn't seem to work. The numbers 1-9 seemed to input ok, but a zero seemed to throw it off. I have no idea if it has anything to do with it, but any help on getting back in to my ipad, I would greatly appreciate it, and I will be turning off that stupid voice over off as soon as I can. I was just goofing off, and was not going to let it stay on permenantely, but I tried to go back under the settings immediately, and I couldn't easily find it, but if someone could help on just getting me back in....I would owe you a big favor!
Thanks......freaking out in Mobile, AL!!

Touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it. Once you've entered your password you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
So to enter your passcode you first need to tap the 'slide to unlock' button to hightlight it (it should get a box around it), then double-tap it to unlock it. Then for your passcode tap the digit that you want and it should get a box around it; then double-tap that digit to type it; and similar for the other three digits in your passcode.
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

Installed splashy and now I just get a black screen

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to Arch (just installed it last week) and just messed up my computer... please bear with me.
I wanted to install a splash screen so I installed splashy. I might have been a little reckless with the installation which resulted in booting into a black screen.
I wasn't sure whether to go for Uvesafb or KMS so I just went with Uvesafb.
In the "Prepare the system" section it says "Remember to remove any framebuffer-related kernel boot parameter from the bootloader configuration: the vga=<foo> would force the old vesafb to load; the video=<foo> parameter would not be used when uvesafb is compiled as a module (as in the Arch Linux stock kernel)." I didn't know what that meant so I just ignored it (that's very reckless I know...)
As for the second line (Procure disabling KMS before attempting to boot into framebuffer. Failure to do so will result in a pitch-black screen, leaving no option but to restart the machine with Ctrl+Alt+Del. For Intel cards, append i915.modeset=0 to GRUB's entry to disable KMS.), I figured since I'm not going for KMS, it wasn't necessary so I just went on.
My laptop has an AMD processor and an ATI graphics card so I didn't see the point of installing 915resolution. I did it anyways and after doing so it said that 915resolution is only compatible with Intel cards. So I uninstalled it.
I followed the rest of the wiki and then rebooted my computer to see how it goes.
The splash screen shows up and some texts show up behind the progress bar that I couldn't read. The screen then goes black and the cursor shows up. But that's all there is. By randomly clicking, I could tell that gdm had loaded and I was able to find the password text box to log in. After logging in, the screen remained black. I could launch Firefox using a keyboard shortcut but everything was still black.
I know this is all my fault for not doing the proper research but how do I fix this?

I've chrooted into it and undid everything and yet it doesn't change anything. I've uninstalled splashy and v86d, reedited the conf files to their original form. Perhaps there is some modifications that I am not aware of that happened during the installation. Packages I installed were splashy-full, v86d, and 915resolution-static which I have all removed. Files I've modified include rc.conf, mkinitcpio.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst, and uvesafb.conf. Aside from pacman I ran the command mkinitcpio -p kernel26

So it said to restore my iPhone and now it says that the Activation server is temporarily unavailable and when i plugged it into my mac, it said that i ddn't have a sim card installed. What can I do to fix this besides bring it to the store? it also bugs me because this answer was supposed to work but it just messed my phone up even more. This has already happened once and i had to take it to the store. What should I do to fix this? Thank you so much for all answers. i really appreciate.

no so i dont know what happened
