Launches to camera window but there is no camera

iPhoto is behaving differently now than it used to. Previously, when launched, it would open to my library view. Now, it is launching to the camera view even though I don't have a camera connected. I think this started with an update, not sure, I don't use iPhoto very much.
There is an eject button which does nothing since there is no camera.
This isn't causing a big problem or anything, but it is annoying. Is there some configuration step I'm missing?
Using version 6.0.6 (322)

Is there a USB Drive, or USB Flash Drive attached to the computer? Sometimes having such a thing formatted the same as a Camera Card (A Windows FAT format) will cause this behaviour. Solution: Go to Image Capture in your Apps folder and use the Preferences to that app to decide what you want to do when a camera is connected. As some other device is being confused for a camera, set it to do nothing. The only difference is that you'll have to launch iPhoto when you do attach your camera.

No images in editing window, but there in Navigator

I just installed Service Pack 2 in my Vista Ultimate 32bit operating system.
After the install I opened PS, CS4 and at first every thing looked ok.
I then opened an image file, it came up in RAW, I made initial adjustments, and clicked on open image.
The image shows in the Navigator window, but there's nothing in the main editing window.
It remains blank.
If open another window like my browser over PS, and move that window around it leaves a partial image of the browser on top of the image editing window.
I had been using Photoshop just prior to installing SP2 and everything was working ok.
I'm hoping that someone else has experienced this problem and has a solution.

Not really, but did you try to re-install your graphics card driver or a newer one? This kind of issues is almost always related to something going on there and some tools require a special compatibility update for SP2.

TS3276 Following above directions, I clicked on Window, but there was no option for Connection Doctor, the next step. Where does one find that?

When asked to povide an email password (after you set the mailbox up & have been using it), you are told to go to Window. Then choose Connection Doctor. There is no such option under Window. How do you get to the Connection Doctor?

I just checked again in Mtn Lion, which is what should be on your new machine, and see this in Mail. So, all I can suggest is for you to reinstall the OS. Boot into recovery mode (restart, holding down the CMD+R keys). Alternatively, contact Apple's Express Lane and let them deal with it, since it's a new machine.

I cannot save any changes made in the Preferences box. I go to Edit, then Preferences. When the window opens, I can check or uncheck boxes in the General window BUT, there are no Cancel or OK buttons at the bottom of the window. HELP!!

There are no "Cancel" or "OK" buttons at the botton of my "Preferences" box that allow me save any changes that I might mak in the "General" window. The box opens without problem and changes can be made in the "General" window however, these changes cannot be saved. If I close the window with the "X" in the upper right hand corner and then reopen it, any changes made are lost. I'm running Windows XP and would appreciate any help that I can get.

I would like to change the "When you insert a CD:" option
Oh good, that one's pretty straightforward. When you make that change in the pane, the OK is the active button. For example, I just quickly changed mine to "Import CD and Eject", and you can see that the OK button is blue in my screenshot:
... so to make that setting stick, all you need to do is to hit your "Enter" key, and that should press the OK.
Unfortunately, I don't have any music in the iTunes library on the PC I'm working from at the moment. So I can't check my "Automatically download album artwork" checkbox.
Ed, could you check for us which item is active after changing that setting? (If it's the OK button, then hitting enter should press the invisible button, just like "When you insert a CD".)
Changing "Import Settings" is trickier, because after you get out of the "Import Settings" subdialog, the "Import Settings" button is active. So you then have to hit the tab key precisely five times (to get OK active again) and then hit Enter to get Import Settings changes to stick.

Cs5 exporting prem pro project to mpeg 2 but there is no audio what the?mac

HI I am pulling my hair out i want to export a prem pro project to mpeg2 because it needs to play and windows but there is no audio I have tried all setting can some one please help me is there a plug in or mpeg sound card

There are two checkboxes to look at:
Export Audio in the main settings panel
Multiplexing (tab) and choose DVD, or similar, rather than "None."
Even with Export Audio checked, if Multiplexing is set to None, you will get two separate files, one Audio and one Video.
Good luck, and I hope that is the answer,

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. Any solutions?

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.
My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx. Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library. A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs. If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
Are there any other possible solutions out there?

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, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: 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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Not the movie, it said I had to download something extra.
(2) Why is it that I can view my website perfectly, but others can't?
Probably because you have Flip4Mac or something else that handles the format not handled by QuickTime.
(3) Are you saying that one of the formats shown on the website you mention might be compatible with more computers than the one I used?
At least it should work with ordinary Mac's that have not added anything.
(4) Do you know how I can find the format I used in iMovie? I think it's MPEG-4, but there may be more than one version.
Sorry, no. Some iMovie forums are at

Thanks for the information. I'm going to quit for now, but tomorrow I'm going into town to buy a book on iMovie. I was able to use it to launch my website, but only with someone walking me through every step. There's a lot to know-and quickly forget-so I think I'll need the book constantly by my side. It's just not feasible for me to have to call Apple or write Apple Forum every time I get stuck. I'll just have to be able to do the necessary by myself--and with my book, of course. By the way, my friend with the PC was also told that she had to download something. Thanks again.

Login window is "there" but doesn't actually show up

When I get the login screen, all I see is the background. The login window is there, I get get loged in by clicking roughly where the user name line is and typing my user name, tabbing to type in my password then hitting enter. Now, everything seems to work ok however when I launch Pages, I get the Template Chooser window, but it's just empty. It doesn't show me anything to click on. The same thing happens in FCP X. I see all my windows but the events window is empy, timeline window is just empy.

Figured out that it was a Displayport driver issue. I ran the Dsiplayport uninstall program, only hickup was at the end it gave me an error trying to restart automatically. Just quit the app and restarted manually and all is well now.

When I need to fill in a form the autofill dialog window appears but there is no response when I click in the window.

When I need to fill in a formon Safari, the autofill dialog window appears but there is no response when I click in the window. It will work if I go to the edit submenu and click on autofill but not by clicking autofill in the window on the form itself. Why not?

The reason firefox is not able to launch thunderbirds is because it cannot start thunderbird as administrator unless firefox is running as administrator, try to start firefox as administrator user then click the link.
It should work.
To start a program as '''administrator on windows''', '''RIght Click''' on the iFF con and choose '''Run as Administrator''', then press yes when the user access control box pops.
Then Let us know what happened

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

When I open Firefox it just says firefox on the upper left corner and apperas to be open on the dock but there are no windows anywhere.HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day randomly for no reason whatsoever, I opened up firefox on my mac and it just said firefox on the upper left as if it was open. the little upside down triangle appeared below the icon on the dock, like it was open. However, there are no windows anywhere. I click file and new window and nothing.
I right click the firefox icon on the dock and it says that there windows for example, my home page, but there is NOTHING.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps doing the same thing.
Your website has NO SUPPORT whatsoever and it has taken me a half hour clicking around to get to this portion where I can write what the issue is and no one will ever probably see this so whats the point. I guess I'm stuck with fucking safari now.
Firefox had been working great up to this point, I literally opened it the other day and this happened just completely random.

Hello,
Sorry you are frustrated. If you have improvements you would like to make, you can file them to the [[Suggestion Box]] and the Firefox logo in the top left with upside down arrow is the Firefox button containing menu items. Try a clean reinstall as instructed below to see if it resolved your issue.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

All that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites.

Something happened with Firefox where all that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites. How do I get back to a regular browsing window? I have no idea how this even happened.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
