Major Library Issues!!!

Help!
I majorly screwed up, hope someone out there can help.
I have a 16GB touch. Had it for a little over a year. My library was getting huge, moved it to an external drive, no problems. Added some new apps, ran it out of space... Then a good deal of my artwork got scrambled??? You really don't want to see Motley Crue when you're listening to Celine Dion! I really need to rearrange those!! But How??
So then it gets worse.... For some reason itunes had a bunch of exclamation marks beside a good deal of the music. But the files were still there. So I highlighted everything in my library, cleared it and went to re-add everything from the top level folder. When I go to File > Add folder to Library > and choose my itunes folder on the usb drive, about a 25% of the way through, my PC blue screens and reboots! So now I have a blank library and no way to get them back in!! I'm deathly afraid to sync right now in fear of losing everything!
I've uninstalled, reinstalled, no help. Version 7.7. (I was afraid to try 8)
Please tell me one of you gurus can fix this????
If not, are there any other third party software packages that will work? I have a lot of itunes purchased content....

Please help! Major library issues

I lost all of my music on my external harddrive so I've been left with the daunting task of reloading all of my music (Thousands of songs). I ran into an issue. Midway,I tried to make the process easier for me by loading the songs I had on my ipod to the computer. This was a terrible choice and 1. It duplicated everything I had on the library. 2. Some of the songs I had on the playlists started to disappear. The reason why I haven't just cleared out everything and just started over is because I would love to keep all the playlists especially (I have at least 70), and play counts artworks and all the little tweaks I've made along the way. I also need to see what I had purchased and loaded in the past so that i can then reload any missing songs. I did copy the itunes folder to a new harddrive before I tried to load the songs from my ipod to the computer. So I'm missing one book of cd's but see what I'm up against I have no problem loading those again. Can anyone please help me.? I'd be forever in your debt. Please help. I've just stopped using it altogether because I'm overwhelmed with what's ahead.

The C:/Windows/Fonts folder?
When I set up this new build, I copied my fonts folder over from my old computer and installed all of them wholesale on my new PC. That was on Thursday. Everything has been up and running fine until yesterday. The only thing I can think that I did to screw it up was install Photoshop CS3. Sidenote: All other fonts work on my PC, except the Adobe ones (Caslon, Garamond, Myriad, etc). In fact, I had purchased some Condensed versions of Myriad Pro that installed and still work.
Update: Just tried my Illustrator again....here is where it gets weird. All fonts are now working in Illustrator (I deleted my pref file one more time). However, the fonts will not work in Photoshop. I was receiving a Text Engine failed to initialize warning yesterday in PS and found a site via google that recommended deleting the contents of the Type Support folder. Once I did that, Photoshop worked fine again other than not recognizing any Adobe fonts.
Also, I still can't see the Adobe fonts in my C:/Windows/Fonts folder, but they are working in Illustrator.
This is all very weird...and I thank you all for your help!

Major performance Issues after upgrading to 10.9.2

Hi,
I have been having major performance issues almost preventing me from using the computer at times. I suspect I don't have enough memory to run Maverick as the computer was great before I upgraded.
If any experts or people with ideas for me to speed up the computer, please respond. If you think the only way to improve performance is add memory or revert back to a previous version of OSX that I have a backup for, let me know.
Here is the info on my system, thank you in advance!!

The performance issues are due to third party software. Mavericks at the minimum requires 2GB's of RAM but I don't think that's the issue. And you can upgrade RAM anytime.

Major Color Issue

I am having a major color issue in 10.3.9.
Issue #1:
Setting Color Labels...
even though the names of the colors are there, the colors are actually shades of blue and gold.
Issue #2:
Mac Icon...
normally on the dock, it's 2 shades of BLUE.. however on mine, it's 2 shades of GOLD.
Issue #3:
Adobe Programs...
In Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, ALL PHOTOS have this duotone look (blue and black) and the ONLY way to preview a photo in true color, is if I save for web and in that screen, it shows correctly. I'm a graphic designer and it makes it VERY difficult to adjust photos.
I know its not the photos themselves, because they preview correctly when imported into Quark and also when printed. I have also tried switching monitors, to see if that was the issue and I still have the same problem. I had this problem back in January, when I upgraded to 10.3.9, and my supervisor fixed it through DUMB LUCK! I recently had to re-install everything, including the OS and this problem resurfaced. Now it's almost a year later and we've tried everything we could think of, but no such luck. This is my last hope!
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or has anyone ever HAD this problem? Is it just my negative energy that is feeding into it and making it want to lash out at me?!?!

I am having a very similar issue, and am really pulling my hair out. I have one user that is having this problem - FROM ALL MACHINES! I have deleted ALMOST every preference in ~/Library/Preferences to no joy. Just started yesterday. (I am using network Home Folders - with no other major issues)
Everything looks like it is in 8 bit color.
I have done all the standard fixes. It does it no matter which machine this user logs into, so it is not a hardware or /Library/ issue. It definitely is a ~/ issue.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings. But while I can upload documents from my MAC onto ICloud, they don't show on my IOS devices (whereas previously this worked without issues).

On this Mac I did move all the visible iCloud documents out of iCloud, into another folder, then disabled syncing, exactly as you suggested. But there were, apparently, documents remaining in my Mac's local iCloud store, "~/Library/Mobile Documents/" that I could not see (so could not remove). The Pages file "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" was one such document.
The act of disabling iCloud's document sync'ing, in System Prefs, just renames the local "iCloud" store to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/<appleid#>/" effectively shielding the it from the sync'ing mechanism. Looking at this renamed folder (the screenshot above) revealed that "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" (and other files) had not been removed; it would be reasonable to assume that one, or more, of these "undeletable" files were related to my original problem, and when I re-enabled doc sync'ing, those bad files would just clog up the works again.
So I deleted them with the Finder on both Macs (the other Mac had bad files too, but different ones), then re-enabling sync'ing on the two Macs and doc sync'ing between the Macs (and iCloud.com) appears to now work as intended.
Sadly, iOS devices (iPhone and two iPad) now do not sync at all. Newly created documents do not migrate to any other devices, and documents on other devices do to migrate to the iOS devices.
Your suggestions have certainly done some good, but something is now keeping my iOS devices out of the the iCloud doc sync'ing process. I suspect it's a similar problem as the Macs had ("invisible" files gumming up the works), so I'm going to apply some nasty tricks to explore the iOS devices file system and see if I can find them, and delete them by brue force.

HT1844 Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them. They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music. I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

When opening safari i get a message that says major security issue please contact apple immediately suspicious activity might have been detected. what is this and how do i get rid of it so i can use my internet?

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

[Possible] Major Privacy Issue in Safari 5 - URL Autofill

From what I read on the Apple site, the URL autofill compares what you type to your history. However even if you delete your history, the autofill still comes up with sites that you visited in the past. If I delete my history, where is this info coming from? Seems to me that this is a MAJOR security issue if you're not the only person using the computer.
EDIT: Im seeing all sorts of random URLs popping up in the URL window when I type random letters. Is the URL bar also being used as a web search? (And if so, which search engine does it use for this?) I was under the impression it was only searching your history.
At first I thought these random sites being suggested were sites I have visited in the past and forgotten about... in fact a lot of them seem like sites I would have visited.
Its just so odd how random the results seem. Not just front pages come up, but pages a few levels deep on any given website. Strange thing this is to me.
Message was edited by: Frozo

I'm hoping someone will figure out a way to disable the URL history suggestions. It's totally annoying. I'm used to typing in the first few letters of a bookmarked web page to jump to it quickly. Now if I type some letters, I'm inundated with suggestions from keywords in my history, while the actual URL I'm trying to get to is buried beneath a list of other pages that have nothing to do with the page I'm trying to visit. Totally frustrating. Maybe it's good for some, but a way to turn it off is a must.

Iphoto6 LIbrary Issue (Not finding photos)

Hello : couple of i photo6 issues
1) I have many photos on my mac book pro from my past powerbook (old libraries) When I launch Iphoto6, it only recognises the latest pics. How do I make iphoto recognise the older pics. They are in my pictures folder, however they are not coming up in iphoto as thumbnails. (I am thinking I may have to create a whole new library which I am happy to do (i.e. drag library folder to desk top, then ask Iphoto to create new library etc. using originals folder) If this is correct can someone please explain the process for doing so. If not, please advise what else I should do. I am not notally sure here..... all tips welcome.
2) Why is there a DATA file and an ORIGINALS file in the library file. Do i need both ?
3) I seem to have many duplicates some are thumbnail size pics from previous imports when I had library issues in 2004. Is there a simple way to get rid of these smaller pics so I only have the originals? Hope this all makes sense.
Baiscally I need a total 'clean up of my iphoto library(s) and streamline things I believe, but need some advise on doing so.
I look very much forward to hearing form you.
Kind regards, Mark

How do I make iphoto recognise the older pics.
They are in my pictures folder,
But where in your Pictures Folder? How did they get
there? Have they been imported into iPhoto? I'll
happily post instructions for creating a new library,
but maybe it's not necessary...
2) Why is there a DATA file and an ORIGINALS file
in the library file. Do i need both ?
You mean DATA and ORIGINALS folders? Yes you do need
both. A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the
Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you
have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were
downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that
you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command
- very useful if you don't like the changes you've
made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app
needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Remember: It is strongly advised that you do not
move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto
Library Folder as this can cause the application to
fail and even lead to data loss.
3) I seem to have many duplicates some are
thumbnail size pics from previous imports when I had
library issues in 2004. Is there a simple way to get
rid of these smaller pics so I only have the
originals? Hope this all makes sense.
Duplicate Annihilator
may help.
But if you decide to go back and start again, we can
weed those out from the new library while recreating
it.
Regards
TD
Thanks TD Most Helpful. The photos are all in my pictures folder in the originals folder. I think I need to make a new library and go through and delete the duplicates. It seems i may be in a bit of a mess unfortunately.

Two Macbooks, same spec, yet one has major connectivity issues

Hi,
I have two (old - 2006) macbooks, bought at exactly the same time, exactly the same spec, probably off the same factory line. Yet one has serious Airport issues which are proving very difficult.
It will pick up a maximum of one wireless network, which it barely is able to connect to. There are 3 wireless networks in this house yet it only picks up the nearest one. The other macbook can pick up at least 15 other networks despite being exactly the same spec and on the desk next to it.
Even when it connects to my network, connections are frequently dropped - over 50% packet loss generally.
Both are running the same OS and are exactly the same spec. I have tried resetting the PRAM, deleting the airport prefs, resetting the SMC; you name it I've tried it. I noticed that this is quite a common issue with Snow Leopard + Airport, but I am now thinking it could be a faulty Airport card. Could this be the case?

You already mentioned that you thought that "it could be a faulty AirPort card". I agreed and offered another possibility as well.
Whether or not you are using Snow Leopard, if you have a faulty wireless card or a faulty antenna connector, you will most certainly have major connectivity issues.
You've already performed all the standard troubleshooting steps and mentioned that you felt it may be a hardware issue.
If you have changed your mind and feel that it's a Snow Leopard issue, (logic would dictate that it would have also affected your other identical computer the same way) you have the option of reinstalling the operating system to see if that might help.

Major iTunes library issues after upgrading to OSX Mavericks...

Hello
I recently upgraded iTunes and OSX Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and it appears to have played haywire with my iTunes library. I've lost almost half of the songs in most albums. The missing songs now show up with an exclamation point next to them and if i try to play them iTunes prompts me to locate them manually.
I have iTunes match but it's not clear how to restore prior purchases - in the iTunes store my albums just show up as 'purchased'.
For the stuff i burned from CDs years ago I assume my only option is to restore from an old backup.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!

Major effect issues (after installing XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in)

Hi all,
I encounter major issues with applying effects and titles in FCPX (10.0.8).
Already in preview (skimming) I get black screens and when I apply effects, they don't show or give a black or distorted picture. Also older projects are effected. For example; where I used 'cold aura' effects on some clips, they are all distorted now. In the event library aswell, some clips are black. When skimmed they show up and when the mouse pointer is gone, the clip is black again.
I have this issues since I updated protools, FCPX and installed the XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in by Sony (PDZK-LT2)
Anyone else have these problems? I'm really Looking for a solution, as I have to deliver to clients this week...
Kind regards,

IPhoto and Aperture referenced library issues

Hi,
For the last couple of days I've been busy trying to get my iPhoto/Aperture library to work properly. I recently created a referenced library using Aperture because of lack of space on my internal ssd. I can see all of my Projects, thumbnails, metadata etc. in both iPhoto and Aperture when my external drive is disconnected. However, there are two major issues:
1) Most of the video thumbnails are broken, both in Aperture and iPhoto. By double clicking a thumbnail of a video (.mov, .avi etc.) it sometimes starts playing (with the external drive connected), sometimes it doesn't, totally inconsistent. I can export the video and it works just fine.
2) While using iPhoto with the external drive disconnected, all Events are there, the thumbnails are there, everything looks ok, but I can only view some of the previews/photos after double clicking the thumbnails. A dialogue opens up saying "The volume for [imagefilename] cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume..", but I can actually see the full size preview behind this dialogue. By clicking "Cancel" the photo dissapears and is replaced by a black screen with a grey exclamation mark. This does not occur while using Aperture, I can see all of my previews in full glory when the external drive is disconnected. However, with the external drive connected everything works in iPhoto (except above mentioned issue with videos).
Please boys and girls, I need your help on this one!
System information
OS: Maverick 10.9.1
Aperture: 3.5.1
iPhoto: 9.5.1
Thanks!

1. Are these videos different formats? Or the same?
