Just upgraded to Leopard and can't see individual photos in Finder

I have just upgraded my late-2007 iMac to Leopard and dragged and dropped my photo library from a back-up disc. iPhoto can use it but the individual photos aren't available to browse in the Finder...
Nor can I select an individual photo when I try to add one as an attachment in Mail- I only see the Library file as one big 6GB file.
What can I do?

but that's a very complicated way of doing it...
So access the photos using the Photos button in the message window in Mail or use one, some or all of these
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Just upgraded to Maverick and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. it keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE.

I just upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. IT keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE to begin searching. I would rather not hav to go through 2 steps to start everytime. I entered google's address in preferences but it ignores my preference.

You don't say which browser you are using so I will assume it's Safari. If so then open Safari - Preferences - General tab and look for where you set the home page, just set it to www.Google.com
If this fails for some reason then open Safari and reset it (look in the Safari menu) and choose all options for the reset. The re-try setting the preference. Post back with your results.

Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

Your best bet is to check the version of QuarkXPress you have. Since Lion does not include Rosetta my guess is this may be why it is not working. Check out this site http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. This site has a list of apps that work and don't work under Mac OS X Lion.
If you are working in a production environment freelance or stuido that uses design apps like QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop you should always wait to upgrade your OS. We have a 3 to 6 month policy for upgrading computers and software.
I hope the website helps. http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Good Luck

Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

Depends on what you're doing; SL doesn't really support Office docs directly. In Snow Leopard, TextEdit can open Word docs, albeit with little fidelity for anything beyond text. Try iWork if you need to really work with Word docs (note that even then it's an import/export process and not native support).

Upgraded to Leopard and can't Print

Hello,
Ever since I upgraded to Leopard I can't print to my HP 1115. I can print test pages just fine and if I send a normal document from any application and then put my computer to sleep when re-waken it, it will print the document, however the quality is very poor.
I'm running version 10.5.4 on a PowerPC G5. I've tried printing from Photoshop CS, Mail, Safari, and TextEdit.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Hmmm, I will have to see if I still have the install disks I've had this printer for probably 5 years! When I first got my Mac computer with Tiger installed I didn't have to install anything, just plug-in and go. Normally I wouldn't need the disks for printers or scanners its just so much easier to go to the site and download the drivers, mac or PC. That way you don't get any of the extra junk they often have on the disk.
Where would you look for "Pacifist"? Utilities? I'll try doing a search when I get home to see if I can find it myself but I thought I might ask...
I read on another internet page about uninstalling the HP drivers and than re-installing the one they provide. They discribe the same problem I'm having and claim it will fix it. I couldn't do it though because I didn't know how to completely uninstall all the HP drivers on my computer.

I just upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to the WIFI any suggestions

I Just up upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to internet - any ideas?

I have the same problem after loading OS X 10.10 Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (Late 2008). Wi-Fi (Time Capsule) connects OK, then I open Safari and it waits for a minute and then gives me a message that it can't load the page because I'm not connected to the Internet. The Wi-Fi is fine. When I run the network analysis, it shows that everything is fine up to the Internet; the dots are red after that. I have another MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it loaded and runs with no known problems (so far). I am writing this message on the Late 2008 MacBook Pro, so you can see that there is no problem with the Internet connection. It is a Yosemite problem. My iPhone and newer MacBook Pro connect with no problem. I loaded Yosemite TWICE, then ran the Disk Utility and fixed some disk permissions but there were no other problems identified. Restarting after reloading Yosemite and the same problem is there. Restarted after running the disk utility and fixing disk permissions and it still can't connect to the Internet. Same problem. Does anyone have an idea how this might be fixed? What's going on? Thanks for your help.
Update: Air Drop also doesn't work. Thanks.

Just upgraded to leopard and now new keyboard won't work

I just upgraded my system to Leopard, and everything went smoothly. When I installed I had my old keyboard attached as I didn't want anything to got wrong. Now since trying to use the new white key Mac keyboard that is out now, it won't work. I tried to go into preferences under keyboard and mouse but there was no choice there to change keyboard. What can I do?

Apple's download search function is pretty messed so that may not be the right file. The one that Software Update offered for my MacBook Pro when I had the Al board attached is "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update" and is v1.0. It was in my Utilities folder.
I had to Google to find the other link, but it's here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AluminumKeyboard_Firmware_Update_10
See if that helps. It looks like this and Leo go together, so could explain why you the board doesn't like the change.

Upgraded to Leopard and can't to wireless non broadcasted SSID

Since upgrading to Leopard a few days ago I can no longer connect to my network here at work.
We do not broadcast the SSID and use a 64bit WEP encryption.
My airport will see the WAP for a brief second and then it will go offline. Windows users have there network authentication set to shared.
Are there settings that I am missing.

If the SSID is not being broadcast, your MBP will not "see" the network. You must enter all of the data for the connection including the SSID. I haven't used WEP in a very long time but my recollection is that 64 bit WEP requires a 10 hexadecimal character key. There were many products that allowed this to be entered as a 5 ascii character string. Unfortunately not all manufacturers did the conversion the same way. In my experience it was always best to enter the key in hexadecimal.

Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3. Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?

Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion.

Just upgraded to Leopard and it broke my network

I tend to work on a Thinkpad (T61) running Windows XP SP2 using my iMac as a file server. I had the mac drive as a drive loaded onto my windows desktop automatically. I was never able to access the T61 from my mac but that's an issue for another time.
I have another Thinkpad (T41) running Windows XP SP2 that I never got onto the mac's desktop. I can now see the T41 in the Shared section of my Finder windows; I do not see the T61.
When I open the T41, it seems I can only move data to the SharedDocs folder for some reason.
So, my questions are as follows:
o Why did my mounted volume break on my Windows machine (the T61 never changed; it was only the Mac that changed so it's something on the Mac)? How do I fix this?
o How do I get the T61 to show up in the Shared section of Finder windows?
o How can I access any part of the Windows machines from the Mac, not just their SharedDocs?
TIA,
David

OK, as I was gathering more information, it started to work! I can now access the iMac from the T61 and T41 (truly don't know how/why).
The T61 still doesn't show up on the Mac and the T41 is still inaccessible other than in the SharedDocs.
I noticed that the Network Preferences panel is entirely disabled; why would this be?
Again, TIA,
David

I upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer import photos from my camera

I have a Canon Eos Rebel SLR Digital Camera (Model DS6041). It has always worked perfectly with iPhoto on my iMac running Maverick. I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and now when I plug the camera in...iPhoto opens...and it shows the camera listed in the pane on the left but in the upper right hand corner of the main photo window it just continually says "Loading". I plugged it into my wife's Macbook Air which was also upgraded yesterday morning and it did the same thing. In order to make sure it was a problem with Yosemite and not my camera...I plugged it into my dad's Macbook Air which HASN'T been upgraded. It is still running Maverick. His Macbook immediately recognized the photos and loaded them and was ready for me to import. Does anyone know what is going on with the Yosemite upgrade and if it is being looked at? Thank you.

Have you guys tried this?... It worked for me
I called Canon and they said to change a setting on the camera and for me it worked. They said to go to the settings menu and go to communication... on my camera there are two choices... Normal (PC) and PTP. Mine was set to normal and always worked fine. After the Yosemite update...it no longer worked. Yesterday I changed it to PTP and the pictures popped right up. Hopefully you have similar settings in your camera and can try this...

Can't see individual photo files using iPhoto '08

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08
Now I can no longer see my individual photo files in the Finder window
I need to see these files because I lost (and then recovered) all my photos
Now I have multiple copies of each photo, including a very small size of each one which probably used to be the thumbnail but now is a "regular" photo in iPhoto due to the recovery process
I want to sort my photo files by size and delete the small ones to get rid of the small duplicates
I have too many photos to delete these one by one!
Any suggestions would be most appreciated
Thanks - Liz

see the answer to your question in this thread -- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1218128&tstart=0
You may end up having to export your photos, clean them up and reimport them into iPhoto to straighten this out - or maybe Old TOad will have already figured you problem out .

Just upgraded to Leopard and having general mail problems...

Hi all. Thanks for any help you can give me in advance.
I'm having multiple problems and I hope you guys can help. Has anyone had any general reliability issues? I understand that mail often can flicker or hang up, and restarting the program can be necessary. No big deal. But since I've upgraded, it happens constantly. I run multiple accounts, from multiple providers, and they are all having trouble. So I don't feel it is my provider. I'll list a couple problems to provide some examples.
1) When I start Mail, a pop up comes up to make me verify each account server. I feel like I'm in Windows Vista with endless pop-up-warnings.
2) More often than it used to with 10.4, when sending, the SMTP server will hiccup and I'll get the "try again later" warning. And I have to restart Mail to get it to send. This happens at least 10 times a day.
3) Large attachments, 5 to 10 megs, often won't send if they don't get uploaded fast enough. My company doesn't have the fastest internet, and it can take time. This wasn't a problem with 10.4.
Those are the biggies. Seems like it is just general unreliability. I have multiple accounts with multiple providers, so I'm led to believe that the problem is with Mail, not my providers.
Thanks.

I ran in to similar problems when I upgrade my wife's iMac to Leopard. The easiest way I found after about three hours of trying to solve the issue is to just download and reinstall iTunes. that whole process took ten minutes and iTunes is working as it should. You can get the latest version of iTunes here:

Just upgraded to Leopard and iTunes won't find my music on external drive

I keep all my music, tv shows and movies on an external drobo that is connected to my airport extreme. I just opened iTunes and it is not seeing my music (at least not populating it) despite the location in preferences / advanced being the drobo. I have tried resetting it but nothing helps. I don't want to move the music onto the iMac I want to keep it on the drobo. What gives?

I may have figured it out. The library folder was right but the associations were not. I went to file and add to library and pointed that back to my library on my external and all the associations are being rebuilt. I hope this works. The files are being added to iTunes as I type.
Just an FYI if someone else runs into this issue.
