Lost some of my photos after upgrading, though I can still see the previews.

My 2.66 intel core i5 IMAC recently had a HD crash. Fortuneatly I had a 2T western external HD set up as a time machine. The local Apple reseller checked the HD and had it replaced. When I got my PC back I noticed it had the newer operating system and the newer ilife 11. I attached the time machine and began a restore. All seemed to go well. When I opened iPhoto for the first time, I was prompted to have the library upgraded for the newer software which I did. Then when I went into iPhoto to check my pics. Everything seemed ok until I opened my last import to see that even though I could preview all my pics, I could only open about 20 percent of them. The rest displayed a large grey exclamation point. What has happened and how can I recover these pics? I am now thinking I should keep raw copies of all my photos (have about 40,000), is there a way to export all the raw pics from iphoto without doing each one seperately?
Been a big Apple fan for many years and trying not to let this change my opinion.

Try all options except for the thumbnails. If that fails:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I recently updated to the new adobe flash 10.3.181.26 and since then I have not been able to listen to any videos online especially youtube videos. Though I can still see the videos I can't hear them.

I've tried multiple times checking the settings with flash and I've checked and unchecked "hardware acceleration" and I've cleared my cache and cookies multiple of times. I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash many times to but still I have this issue. My computer alone plays music just fine only through flash videos do I have a problem

Hi X-Calibar, thanks for your comments. Yes, there are 4 zones under Internet Options and security settings. IE9 from what I have read has more security features than IE7/IE8 had. It appears this Server verification involves status of the Certificate that the website has as well as the Server that is using it. From what I've read on the IE9 sites, Microsoft states that if any HTTP sites are in the Trusted Zone, that the Server Verification is to be UNchecked.
When you go to add a site to the Trusted Sites zone, it by default only accepts HTTPS sites.
I would think that would only be if you had the SV box checked, that's what I find with IE8.

I think you and I may be saying the same thing, just in a different way:-) Not using IE9, I don't know how all of the new features work. My concern is mainly limited to any feature that conflicts or effects Flash Player. Just as the ActiveX Filtering. That certainly effects Flash Player, so that is on my radar:-)
Hopefully, Chris Campbell will clarify some of this:-)
Thanks,

Backup is your best option if you have one. Reverting software will not bring the contacts back.

Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs.

Unfortunately no, It says "Adobe not responding" as well when I try to open a pdf. It has done this a few times where I had to uninstall and reinstall. Also, Illustrator tells me to uninstall/reinstall as well.

After upgrading E71 I can not reinstall the programmers I had before on memory card while I m able to install them if I choose phone memory
but for any new program which was not installed before the software upgrade I can install them in the memory card or phone memory without any problem
is there any advice?
Thank you

do the serach on the internet for all the applications that you want to install and are unable to do, get fresh copies of those files downloaded and try to download the new, fresh file applications to your phone this should work for you.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Download photos from old phone, but can't see the screen

Download photos from a LG Spectrum 2 that quit working, my contacts came over from whenever the last backup was, there were some of them missing as well. I can't see the screen on Spectrum 2, but the power button light is illuminated if plugged into a charger. My Spectrum 2 has an internal SD card, so not just as easy as obtaining from the SD card.

prweaver2,
I am sorry for the issues you are having. Without having access to the on screen prompts of the phone the media can not be transferred unless it was previously backed up somewhere such as the VZW Cloud or another 3rd party storage. If you would like you can try to gain access to the media by plugging the device into a computer and transfer the media however this many not be possible as you must enable USB Mass Storage on the device.

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

I try to pull up photos in iPhoto and it shows a big "!" I can still see the photo, just can't do anything with it or view it larger. Help! Thank you!

Can't find a folder after upgrading to maverick and still have the previous OS

Hi,
Last night I upgraded my mac to maverick...my previous OS was in Disk C and since it was showing that disk is full i had to put maverick in disk D..so i have two disks with OS that means less space for my personal use....also while putting maverick in D I already had a folder containing movies in it...When i am searching in spotlight i can get the movie but am not able to find it without it....Also how do i get rid of the previous OS and should i do that??

ishica ghosh,
it sounds like what you’re calling your Mac’s internal space is what I’d call your Mac’s internal hard drive, and what you’re calling your three separate disks are what I’d call three partitions of your internal hard drive.
Let’s begin by approaching these aspects one at a time. On my Mac’s internal drive, only 22 GB of space is being used in total, including Mavericks and perhaps a dozen apps. If your Disk C has been sized to be 119 GB but it is mostly filled up, then it seems as though you must have significantly more apps or data installed there than just your old OS. Do you have more than one administrative user and one standard user under your old OS?
Here’s something that you can try to find out the amount of space that is being used by the user accounts on Disk C: boot into the old OS by holding down an Option key as you power up, use your cursor keys to select the OS on Disk C, and press the Return key. Log in as its administrative user, and from the Finder press Command-Shift-U to open the Utilities folder. Run Terminal.app in that folder. Within the Terminal window, give it the following command:
sudo du -sm /Users/*
This command will ask you for a password; give it the administrative user’s password. The password will not be displayed as you type it. Please copy the output from this command into your reply.

I need to regain access to a photo stream that I am still the owner of. I deleted it off my phone but the people I shared it with can still see the pictures.

I accidentally posted photos that were intended for my husband on to the wrong album and now my whole family can see them. I thought that by deleting the album it would be erased from the stream, but it's not. Now I'm stuck with those photos on all their devices.

If the app is no longer in your country's store then it's likely that it's the developer of the app has removed it, unless the developer has broken some of the store's rules.
Before deleting it did you not copy it to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you could take a backup of it ? Any item can be removed from the store at any time, you are only guaranteed one download of each item, which is why the store's terms advise you to take a backup copy.

I created an Imovie on Ipad. Before exporting the Imovie, I deleted the video clips from camera roll. Error message "this proj. contains clips which have been deleted from your photo library." Help! Can I recover the "preview" file of my video in Imovie?

Is there an app out there to find the files within Imovie app on my Ipad where the Imovie "preview" is playing from?
I deleted the original vidoe clips from my Camera Roll before exporting the Imovie to Youtube because my camera roll was out of memory.
I'm using the latest Imovie app for Ipad.

I was hoping someone can be of some help in here. I recently bought a new ipad 3 64gb and i thought the picture quality was suppose to be better but you can still see the pixels, is there something i need to do to it to make the quality better

if someone could of assitance that would be great

Countrydee82-
Which pictures? If you are looking at pictures taken by the iPad's camera, you may actually be looking at electronic noise rather than pixels. This is caused by amplification required for photos taken in low light. If that is what you refer to, it can be improved by turning on more lights.

Upgraded to 7, can't see the New Releases screen

I am getting the following message when I click "New Releases" and "See All" on the iTunes Store page,
"Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested in not currently available in the U.S. store".
I'm not clicking on any particular song, I just want to see this week's releases.

That is pretty scary kolz ... I have an X301 running Vista with the f3507g, and I am waiting for my Win7 upgrade discs to arrive in the mail. If your issue does not get resolved, I think I might leave the discs in the bag and keep running Vista.
Can I ask - does your modem appear in the device manager with a yellow exclamation mark?
And ... Lenovo will not support this upgrade !?!?!? Are you sure they said this?
