My album photos are all messed up!!

after i synchronized my ipod, all the album photos were all messed up!
This is my first time to encounter such thing. I tried to reset it (pressing MENU and the central botton at the same time for a few sec.) and also update my ipod, bt none of these could help.
What else can i do?Does anyone also have this problem?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your iPod's artwork cache may have become corrupt. I would suggest clearing it out and rebuilding it. To do this:
1. Plug the iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on its device name on the left pane of iTunes if necessary
2. Under the Music tab, remove the check mark next to “include album artwork on this iPod.”
3. Hit Apply to sync the updated changes.
4. After it has finished syncing, place the check mark back next to “include album artwork on this iPod” option.
5. Again, hit Apply to sync the updated changes.
6. Lastly, properly eject your iPod, and verify that the album artwork is correct.
Hope this helps.

Moving to an external Ethernet Drive - Libraries and Photos are a mess - Cant Find Images

I am in the process of wanrting to consolidate my LR3 files to an 2TB external ethernet drive (connected via airport extreme). First, are there any issue with using the networked drive. I've heard that there may be.
Second, my libraries and photos are all over the place. I cant seem to find the proper catalgues and sometimes files go missing or offline. So, duringn this move to the new 2TB drive, I want to use this opportunity to find and move all the LR3 "stuff" i can and make the workflow better organized.
How can I simply do that???
Thanks!

First, let me suggest that there are two issues here ... Storage (exactly where your photos and catalog file are located) and organization (how do you find/search for the photo(s) of interest. These are different issues.
First ... storage:
You can move your photos and catalog file anywhere to meet your storage needs. You move the catalog file simply by moving it in Windows or Mac Finder to the internal HD (or any other non-network drive). Recommended: put the catalog file on your fastest hard disk. Recommended: move the previews (that are located in subfolders where the catalog is) along with the catalog file. Once moved, you open it by double-clicking on it.
You can move your photos anywhere you want them to be, including a network drive. Although I recommend you move them in Lightroom so as to not break the links, you can also move the folders outside of Lightroom and then reconnect (in the folder panel, right-click on a folder and select "Update Folder Location").
Now, you have your files whereever you want them to be. They are stored properly. It makes sense to consolidate your photos on a single drive if possible, and it makes sense to set things up for ease of backup (i.e. all photos in subfolders under a single parent folder) but other storage schemes are fine if they meet your needs.
Next ... Organization
This is how you set things up so that you can find a specific photo(s) quickly. I strongly recommend that this be done in Lightroom, using keywords, metadata and collections. I strongly dis-recommend that you do this by moving this folder to that location or folder hierarchy to help you be able to find things. I strongly dis-recommend that you do this by renaming photos or folders. Leave them whereever they are (after you have met your storage needs above), and organize via keywords. Assign keywords and metadata religiously to your photos. Keywords give you much more organizational power than folders, because you can have many many keyworkds assigned to a photo, but a photo can be in only a single folder.
I strongly recommend consolidating things into a single catalog. This will enable you to search for any photo, because you have one catalog. If you have multiple catalogs, and catalog A is open, you cannot search for a photo in catalog B.
Once all of this is complete, your photos are where you want them (storage) on your networked drive, your catalog (singular, not plural) is on your fastest disk (storage) and your photos are completely well organized in Lightroom, enabling you to search for them quickly, using the Lightroom filter bar, the keyword panel, or smart collections.

1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.

1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.
2nd - While trying to fix it, itunes made all albums and artists unknown
3rd - While trying to get an answer I am unable to contact anyone or even send an email requesting an answer.
4th - While trying to use the "fast lane" i ran into trying to find the product S/N, I went to my account and it was not there. I tried to see it on the back of the Ipod but had to find a magnifying glass to even read it.
5th -- The we will get back to you really ****** me off
6th -- I have wasted 2 hours to fix something that should not have happened and the situation is worse than when i started
7Th --- Itunes management of songs is terrible and there are NO instructions and even worse no support
8th ---- Apple is going down the toilet because the products are good, not great, and the itunes instructions are non existent
9th --- to even suggest i pay for product support is insulting and a sign that apple is desperate
10th -The suggestion for online feedback is this; BE ON-LINE SUPPORT, NOT WHATEVER YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE NOW.

I agree with stevejobsfan - (0123).
However, if what you actually want to do is to fix/sort out your problem, why no try posting a question on that subject?
For starters - you can re-name the tracks in your iTunes library, so it is possible to correct the changes that you must have made that mean that songs are now "unknown artists and albums."

IPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up

Hi, my iPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up.
I tried a solution that I found in the forum in which one should delete file com.apple.iPhoto but I don't have the said file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Yes you do. 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.
You can then find and delete the necessary preference file.

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.

Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?

When i create a new photo album photos are not in the good sequence

when i create a new photo album photos are not in the good sequence

Add the photos from your disc to iPhoto, then drag them from the iPhoto Event or photos to the Album.
You can delete photos from the Album without removing them from the computer. If you delete them in the Photos or Events area, they are removed from iPhoto, therefore taking them out of the Album.
The photos have to be in iPhoto to exist in an Album. They cannot exist in an Album and not be in iPhoto..
Hope that helps...

My photos are all mixed up

Hi,
Since updating to IOS 7 all my photos are mixed up!! I link my Ipad directly to my PC, where I have thousands of photos - all sorted in specific albums. The albums appear to have copied accross but all the pictures are mixed up randomly and are not in the correct albums.
Any suggestions please?

Suggest you use Photo Manager Pro. You can create folder, drag photos around, lock folder, slide show etc.

Trouble with sync once photos are all organized into folders on iphoto. Help!

I have imported and organized all of my pictures of off my iphone into iphoto. I then went to sync like I always do, only requesting that 2 folders (approx 900 photos) be put back on my phone. When the sync finished, it said that itunes couldnt sync 250 of the photos I asked it to. That's 1 issue. It said that itunes would tell my why it couldn't, then it didn't!
Problem #2 is this...my 2 folders of 900 photos shows up on my phone in the folders, but then all 900 photos are also in photo library. How do I keep these from showing up twice? It's taking up all of my memory with every photo being saved to my phone twice.
I've tried to find tutorials & help with Iphone & haven't had much luck. I've imported, foldered, synced, and gone about my business plenty of times before. Now i'm running out of memory & my phone is telling me it can't completely sync.

Is there an Albums section in the left hand pane? If so move the cursor to the right of the Album name till Show appears and click on it?
If there is no left hand pane where the Event and Photos icons, albums, slideshows, etc. usually sit move the cursor over the left edge of the window until it turns into a a cross like this:
then click and drag to the right to open the pane.
If you can't get that to work 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, reset its various preferences and try again. The left hand pane will be visible.
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.

Permissions are all messed up in 10.9

I installed Mavericks 10.9 on my 2008 Mac Pro desktop a couple of months ago. Then the monitors (2 of them) developed odd patterns. Apple Care (AC) tried to help me start 10.9 in Safe Mode, but when the progress bar finished, the computer shut itself off. We could never start in Safe Mode. Then AC diagnosed a hardware problem and recommended an Apple repair shop near me. The the video card was bad and they replaced it. But when they got things running, the permissions were very screwed up. They spent a lot of time repairing them (I don't know how), and then they upgraded the MacHD from a 1.5T Seagate to a 2T Western Digital and cloned the old MacHD to the new 2T drive. I took the machine home and still had permission problems and other problems. Adobe Acrobat Pro would not print PDF files, which I fixed with a suggestion from the Apple Forum. Then Photoshop CS4 gave me a "License Expired" message (Error code 150:30). I fixed that from the Forum (Adobe Community > Downloading, Installing, Setting Up > Discussions: Error code 150:30), with a fix that required a little entry in Terminal ($ sudo sh install_fnp.sh). That allowed me to open Photoshop, but when I turned Photoshop off and restarted it I got the "License Expired" message again.
On the advice of Apple personnel in the Apple Store in Spokane, I unstalled Photoshop CS4 and reinstalled it from the CS4 Suite DVDs, installing just PS with all the supporting apps that the installation automatically chose. Then when I started PS, I got an error "Don't have adequate permission access" or something like that that has been addressed in the Forums. From the Forums, I followed the suggestion of adding "username(me)" to the permissions window of the Info panel of the MacHD and choosing "Apply to enclosed items". That got rid of the "Don't have adequate permission access" error, but I got back the "License Expired" error again and PS wouldn't open. When I tried the "sudo sh instyall_fnp.sh" fix again, I discovered that I couldn't log in to Terminal:
Last login: Thu Feb 20 18:27:35 on console
login(12166,0x7fff7cf59310) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fe65b500180: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
[Process completed]
Meanwhile, using Disc Utility and "Verify Permissions" I see that my Permissions are still totally messed up. So I don't know what to do now.
I also have a Macbook Air. I see that in "Disk Utility > Verify Disk Permissions", the Permissions are also messed up on my Macbook Air, on which I installed 10.9 recently, but it seems to be working ok, so I have just left it alone.
I'm the Administrator and only User on this system. The Permissions remain a huge mystery to me. What is the difference between "Administrator", "System", and "Username(me)"? Should all these be present, with "Read & Write" access? And how do you fix such global Permissions problems?
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Xorg graphics are all messed up and glitchy (screenshots) How to fix?

I've set up a new system, but the graphics are super glitchy!
Here's what gdm (gnome) looks like when i enter run level 5 with an existing xorg.conf file:
and here's what it looks like without xorg.conf so settings are automatic:
With the first setup (xorg.conf included) there's no way to log in.
Without xorg.conf, you can see the loging windows and log in, and when you get to the desktop, the background remains all messed up just like at the login screen.
Any ideas what might be wrong? i'll be right back to post my xorg.conf
