my iphone 4 is "rebuilding library" and doesnt finish. It just keeps telling me to launh photos, i need help! i dont want to lose all of my photos!

Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database? Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
Those are the two options to use.
Here's another fix you can try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - 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
5 - 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.
You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

Beachballing, rebuild library and Javascript issues

I have constant beachballing in Aperture 3.03. I went to Aperture help to find out how to rebuild library and am told I need Javascript to read Help answers. What I get in Help is not clickable. How do I get/install Javascript for Aperture and how do I rebuild the library. I am hoping this will cure the constant beachballing.

Hi Birgit (lovely name!),
as to rebuild the library did you already try to launch Aperture pressing the option+cmd keys?
This should force the Aperture First Aid Window where you can choose to repair permissions, repair and rebuild library.
If you didn't, give it a try...press and keep pressing on option (is the key marked with 'alt')+cmd keys and click on the Aperture application icon to launch it...do not release the keys and the First Aid screen should open.
Hope this helps you!
Bye!

MicroPhoto cleanup, rebuilding library, and PC recognition iss

Had problems with my 8 gig microphoto starting about a week ago. In the past, the player would get nudged, and start over. Rebuild library and so on. Every few weeks. One out of every three or four times it'd lock while rebuilding, so I'd go into cleanup and take care of that, and it'd start up after rebuilding.
A week ago, it went into cleanup, and kept going past 00%. starting it back up in rebuild, it would build about 0%, and only the first 60 songs I loaded show up (the dri've shows the correct amount of used space).
I flashed newer firmware to the same result.
It's also not being recognized in Creative Media Explorer but charges and is recognized as being plugged in by XP.
What do I do? I could reformat, but I'm concerned that won't matter if it won't recongize.

Hey, I am having the same problem with my Zen MicroPhoto. I still haven't figured out whats wrong. I've formatted it a few times and I've tried to put my music back on there and it always says there is a thread error. Sorry I couldn't help you much if at all.

If you are using English as your language, then Siri should be available.

Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream. The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud. If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
Settings > General > Usage > Storage
The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll. You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

While installing latest update, it gets stuck at HP Dot4 Scrubber and doesn't finish. Can't print

While installing the latest update sent from HP, during installation it gets stuck and doesn't finish. The message on the screen says HP Dot4 Scrubber. I've the installation twice and gets stuck in the same place. Now I am unable to use my printer... Help please!!!

Same problem for my J5780 & Win XP Pro. Dot4 Scrubber locks up whether I do the install directly from the web or download the file first, then execute.

Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop. It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music. How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again.

TS1389 I down loaded two songs one right after another and the second one keeps telling me that my computer is not authorized to play it

I downloaded two songs right after each other and the second one keeps telling me that my computer is not authorized to play it (I'm the only user). When I put in the information it told me that my computer is already authorized to play the song and a second computer is too. WHY?

That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

How do i unsync my iphone from itunes library and sync it to a different one without wiping my phone

I bought an iphone 5c and synced it to a windows 7 thinkpad laptop. I backed it up on this device and transferred music off there to my iphone. I recently had an acer aspire e15 laptop and downloaded itunes so i could now do everything i did on my old laptop on to this one, but it isn't letting me unless i sync my phone and wipe its memory. Although i can restore my phone it doesn't restore the music. So is there a way to unsync from one itunes library to another without wiping my data, or is there a way to transfer the music off my phone to my new itunes library so when i restore my phone its easy to restore the music i had on it previously.

The warning message provided is all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, not all settings and data. The same applies when selecting to transfer any photos from the new computer. If you had a computer backup for your old computer that included your iTunes library and all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer that could be transferred to your new computer, this wouldn't be a problem.
iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Or with your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases.
There are some 3rd party utilties that provide for transferring photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost. When transferring photos from a computer, the photos are optimized for viewing on the iPhone. The same utilities provide for transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes Store.
Contacts, settings, and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not affected by this.

Rebuilding library and now iphoto won't open

We recently upgraded to Lion and now iphoto won't work. I'm trying to rebuild my library but I can't even get iphoto to open now. Has anyone else had issues using iphoto after upgrading to Lion?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can't then give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and 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.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: 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.

Rebuilding library and podcasts

Good morning,
I followed the KB article HT1451 to recreate my library, as my iPhone was showing incorrect artwork for some albums.
However, I've noticed that my podcasts, while restored pretty normally, don't contain the podcasts that didn't contain any episodes. Any way of preventing this so I don't 'forget' about a podcast I used to subscribe to?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can't then give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and 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.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: 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.
