    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • I am having difficulty opening my iPhoto on my macbook. Every time I try to access it, it freezes or the application will just not open at all. What can I do to open it successfully?

    I am having difficulty opening my iPhoto on my macbook. Every time I try to access it, it freezes or the application will just not open at all. What can I do to open it successfully?

    Select iPhoto in the Applications folder the type Command+i to bring up its Info window.  That will tell you what version it is.
    As a first fix attempt do 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.

  • My Iphone does not want to charge with laptop. What can I do?

    Hello,
    Last August I bought Iphone 4S and i am currently in another country for the summer and I wont be back until september which meqns my 1 year waranty is over and my Iphone is expreincing problems with speker sound and it wont charge with laptop. I am afraid that if I go to a local apple store they wont accept the Iphone due to the waranty. So what can I do? please help and thank you.

    Does the iPhone charge when connected to the power adaptor?
    Are you connecting the iPhone direct to a USB port on the computer - not being connected to a USB hub of any kind?
    The local Apple Store can and will run a hardware diagnostic on the iPhone to determine if this is caused by a hardware problem at no charge regardless if the iPhone is no longer under warranty and purchased in another country.

  • The alias "Harddisk" can't be opened because the original item can't be fou

    Hello all,
    I have a very scary problem. My external 1.5 Tb Toshiba does not connect anymore. I used to have it connect to my MacBookPro through the Airport Extreme USB connection. Then I wanted to delete a folder, earlier today, and ever since, the harddisk will not mount correctly. That is, every second or third time I click on the alias (in the left area of the Finder Window), it will open and show me the files. I also successfully managed to delete some other files and folders. But, the folder in question caused Finder to start relaunching again and again and again. The only solution was to force the computer to restart, as the Relaunching Finder through CMT-CTRL-ESC didn't bring anything.
    I then disconnected the Toshiba from the Airport Extreme, and connected it directly to my MBP. The computer understands that the harddrive is connected, the harddrive sounds and behaves completely normally, and Disk Utility claims everything is okay. Data Rescue 3 claims I deleted some folder in the year 2076, on this very date, 8th May (which in 2076 is a Friday, apparently). I don't know if that has something to do with it?
    But the MBP won't let me access the harddrive. I click on the alias to the left (or double-click on the disc icon on my Desktop) and the message in the subject above will appear: The alias 'Airdisk' can't be opened because the original item can't be found".
    If I choose to Delete Alias, the following message appears: The Item "Airdisk" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.
    I I choose to Fix Alias, the standard window in which I can find the normal path appears, causing a loop, since I will get the same message when I click on the disc icon again...
    Clicking OK doesn't bring anything. Nothing opens, and I am in the path I was when I started the clicking.
    Spotlight works wonderfully. I can search for data on my Toshiba, Spotlight will find it, but there is no link in the bottom part of the window. I can't even Open Enclosing Folder, through right-clicking on any resulting file in Spotlight.
    But the Harddrive is well and active.
    Does anyone please, please have any idea what I can do to make it behave normally again. And not least how to get rid of that folder.
    Please don't tell me I have to reformat it...please?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I did what you said and can confirm that there is a link to the hard drive under /Volumes/. However, where the links to my two partitions will take me directly to the partitions (Apple and Bootcamp), the Toshiba one will only show a Preview stating the Size of the disk (which incidentally, it states as being the size occupied.
    I tried deleting this Alias, but do not have the permission: "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items".
    So I went back to Computer, got Info on the Toshiba and tried changing the Sharing & Permissions. Currently I have custom access:
    admin: Read & Write
    system: Read & Write
    Erik (Me): Read & Write
    everyone: Read only
    I used to also have (I deleted it):
    wheel: Read & Write
    I also made Erik (Me) the owner of the disk. I also tried ticking and unticking "ignore ownership on this volume".
    On my internal harddrive, Get Info states that I can "read and write". Nothing about Custom Access.
    In Disk Utility, when selecting my Airdisk (the only partition under 'Toshiba', there are apparently No owners enabled, and I am not allowed to verify or repair permissions under the First Aid tab.
    I notice this, because my internal (Apple partition) does have Owners Enabled and I am allowed to Verify and Repair disk permissions.
    Any ideas?
    I can unmount it and mount it, but still no difference.

  • The alias can't be opened because the original item can't be found - After USB Flash Drive transfer

    I've seen a couple of threads about this message, but none dealing with my simple issue:
    I get this message: "The alias can't be opened because the original item can't be found" -- AFTER TRANSFERRING THE FILE IN QUESTION VIA FLASH DRIVE.
    I thought, maybe the "original item" hadn't been completely copied from the drive, so I tried opening the file again this time with the drive still plugged into the laptop--but again, the message came up and I couldn't open it.
    What's the deal?
    The files I'm transferring:
    a 1.2GB MKV file of a movie I downloaded, which I had no trouble viewing on my desktop
    a 105MB application
    (btw, the application is called "VLC", which is a file playing app that works on my desktop, and I want it on my laptop so that I can play movie files like .mkv, which is the other file I'm transferring...but that doesn't make any difference, I think. No, I can't just download the movie and the app right onto the laptop...I don't have wifi right now...='[...)

    I had been dragging straight from the desktop into the USB window. Eventually, I opened up finder and went to Desktop there, and when I dragged the files from there into the USB window, it worked. Now it took a while to move the files into the USB, which was a sign that they were actually being moved.

  • I can't connect to the drive on my airport time machine and am receiving the message: "AirPort Time Capsule" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.

    Time capsule has been working perfectly for months.
    Suddenly I can't connect to the drive on my airport time capsule and am receiving the message: “AirPort Time Capsule” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.
    Time machine appears to be still backing up (last backup within the last hour), but drive is not visible and I have files stored on it.
    I have tried rebooting everything in order as suggested for other issues, anyone got any ideas how to see the drive again??

    What OS are you running??
    It is very typical Yosemite issue.
    1. In airport utility does the TC show up.. if so click it.. and see the summary page which will include its IP address. That is what you are after.
    From my screenshot you can see the TC address is 192.168.2.57
    It might well show up briefly after a reboot or in ipad / iphone version utility. Yosemite is hopeless. The airport utility hardly works.
    2. In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in SMB://192.168.2.57 (replace with IP you discover).
    If it is possible it will request a password.. type that in and DO NOT FORGET.. to store it in your keychain.
    This will work until the TC changes IP which won't happen if it is main router.. but will happen if it is bridged.. so you need to tell me the whole network setup.
    Mavericks is nearly as bad and the above instructions should be universal except I would use AFP instead of SMB. Apparently Yosemite is now totally Windows oriented.

  • Please help! The alias can't be opened because the original item can't be found. Portable Hard Drive, Macbook, OS 10.7

    Hi folks,
    Desperate for some help!
    I have a very cluttered, slow Macbook Pro running 10.7.5. Bought a 2TB WD My Passport for Mac (2TB) with the intention of transferring my many, many files and folders over to it, to increase my memory and boost the performance of my Macbook. (Also handy to have files on the go).sktop
    I transferred everything (all files off desktop, documents, photos etc) using drag and drop.
    Then I trashed all the files, but did NOT empty Trash because I wanted to check the process had worked
    Now, when I plug in my hard drive, and open it up, all my files and folders are there, but with little arrows on the bottom left of the file/folder. When I go to open any one of them, I get this message:
    "The alias “X” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
    I don't know what to do. Is this because of the way I dragged and dropped the files? I'm guessing so. Or is it because I still have the items in my Trash? (I'm obviously petrified of emptying the Trash now though) Is it because of my OS?
    Apologies, I'm a novice to this (hence why my 4 year old mbp is running so slowly; it's got 4 year's worth of work on it, and now I obviously don't even know how to transfer files properly to an external HD) but I'd really be ever so grateful for your help. I just want to successfully back up my files to this HD so my mpb runs faster. I'm now terrified I've corrupted my files. I don't even understand what an Alias is.
    Would love to hear from you! I'm totally new to these forums so hope I've posted right! Thanks!

    It sounds like what got created on your external is a collection of aliases which point to the original files and folders but aren't actually copies of the files and folders themselves. The original items have been moved to the trash so even if they could be found, they couldn't be opened. As a test, pick a file (not a folder) on the external that should be large and see what size it actually is (Get Info). Aliases are smaller so you can tell the difference apart from that little arrow (the Get Info box will also identify the file as an alias). Dragging the files to the external should have automatically created copies rather than aliases unless you held down the Command and Option keys while dragging.
    In any case, you were wise not to empty the trash; to be safe get those important files back out of the Trash so you can start over. But this time, try moving a few at a time and let us know what happens.

  • ITunes will not open because the iTunes folder can't be found!

    Okay, so I am trying to open iTunes and it is saying it can't open because the iTunes folder can't be found or created. The problem is it is RIGHT WHERE it is supposed to be, in the music folder. I click in and try, but it doesn't work. AT ALL. I'm more than a little angry. I just downloaded the latest iTunes, and I'm kind of upset bcause that is why it isn't working- it didn't have a problem before.
    Can someone PLEASE tell me what is going on and how I fix it?

    Try this.
    Press and hold the option key while starting itunes.
    Create a new library.
    Select your existing itunes folder in your music folder.
    With luck it will be happy now.

  • Time Capsule / Leopard 10.5.8 / Time Machine / Disk can't be opened because the original item can't be found / OSStatus error -6602

    Hi,
    I'm facing a big issue with Time Machine on my Mac Book running Leopard 10.5.8 (build 9L31a) and my Time Capsule (firmware 7.6.1 (76100.4)).
    I have searched a lot (during 3 days !!) to find a solution but no luck !
    I have the same syntoms as described by LUNY in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9364556#9364556
    To quickly summarize:
    My MacBook was configured to use my Time Capsule as backup disk. Everything went fine during 2 years and then one day I suddently got problems with time machine !
    Time Machine was unable to access my Time Capsule. Moreover it was drastically slowing down my MacBook !
    So:
    1. I stopped Time Machine and tried to change the backup disk: every time I chose my Time Capsule Disk, I got a OSStatus error -6602
    2. Then, I tried to access my Time Capsule from the Finder -> slow and then got this message 'Disk can't be opened because the original item can't be found'
    3. I searched in the logs for the specific reason and I found:
       - system.log (/var/log) :
          myMacBook kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
          myMacBook /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[198]: NetworkNode::handleMountCallBack returned -6602 (the same error)
          myMacBook ReportCrash[358]: Saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/kextload_2012-12-30-112946_myMacBook.crash using uid: 0 gid: 0, euid: 0 egid: 0
       - In CrashReporter (/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/): i see the problem coming from kextload with this exception:
           Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
           Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000a, 0x000000000122d000
    4. I tried to mount the time capsule disk with Terminal (AFP protocol):
       > mount -t afp afp://admin:[email protected]/Data /Volumes/termAFPData/
       result -> mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error 19, errno is 19
    These errors (6602 and 19) are neither documented anywhere nor associated to a clear description of the problem. The only thing I have found is that errno 19 is an IO error -> http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/CarbonHeaders/CarbonHeaders-18.1/MacError s.h
    On the other hand, and this is the really weird part of the issue, my time capsule disk works well when I mount it with SMB protocol !!! (Or when I access it with a Windows XP machine).
    So, the workaround is: mount -t smbfs //admin:[email protected]/Data /Volumes/termSMBData/
    Or, in Finder -> Connect to server and there use the URL: smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Data
    Not sure what is going on ... but I pretty sure that's a bug and not a hardware problem.
    Is there someone who has already found a solution for this kind of behaviour ?
    It would avoid me a lot of headaches and improve the support for this kind of problem.
    Thanks !!!

    Thanks a lot for this really quick reply.
    When you say: "I would though go back to 7.5.2 firmware." Do you mean a reset to factory default ?
    Greetz
    NO, your time capsule is running 7.6.1 but it is built with AFP following increased security for LION.. that is not required or available in Leopard.. so there is no point.. it is also not as stable on the older hardware.. at least in my experience.. I have repaired about 200 of the suckers so I do see a few.
    When you select firmware update in the airport utility.. hold the option key.. all valid firmware versions for your TC then show up.. not only upgrades.. select 7.5.2 and upgrade to that.
    Do a factory reset when you do it is a good idea though.. start off again.
    And do reset of TM.. A4 in pondini.
    See if it helps.
    Oh, the TC will continually complain about needing a firmware update.. turn off automatic checking of updates.. it will still annoy you for fun every few weeks but that is better than daily.

  • The alias "Lacie2" can't be opened because the original item can't be found

    A very strange problem just developed. I have a Time Capsule with two external drives attached to it (they are actually two drives in a single enclosure) via USB. When I navigate to the drives, an alias is placed on the desktop. When I click on the alias, I get the message, "The alias “Lacie2” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." (I get the same message for the other drive, "Lacie1"). Now, here's the kicker: when I navigate through to the drives in a Finder window, everything is fine! I can access the drives and all contents. I do NOT get this same problem when I navigate to the Time Capsule itself, i.e., the alias placed on my desktop to the TC works fine when clicked. One more bit of information, the enclosure containing the two apparently misbehaving drives accidentally came unplugged a few days ago, so the drives spun down without being unmounted, etc. However, I don't use the drives every day, so I am not even sure they were mounted at the time. Also, I can't be certain this current problem started IMMEDIATELY thereafter, again because I don't access the drives every day and just can't remember.
    I have opened "Volumes" and cleaned out all the ghost/phantom drives in there, and it did not help (none of the ghosts referenced either of these drives). In case it makes a difference, I am booting the 64-bit kernel. Any ideas?

    I checked /Volumes again, but no ghost drives. When I select one of the aliases on the desktop and enter command+i, here is what the "server" field says in the popup:
    afp://Time Capsule Kay.afpovertcp.tcp.local/Lacie2
    When I open a finder window and navigate to the drive, here is the path to one of the folders there:
    afp://Time Capsule Kay.afpovertcp.tcp.local/Lacie2/Steve
    I don't know if this makes any difference, but when I mount that same drive on my G4 running OS X 10.4, the path is different:
    afp://Time-Capsule-Kay.local./Lacie2
    The G4 has always been plugged into the TC that the drives in question are also plugged into. Until recently, the MacBook Pro that is giving me the problems connected to my network via AirPort. It is now connected via Ethernet, plugged into an AirPort Extreme which the TC feeds off of via Ethernet as well. Perhaps that's why the paths are different.

    Answer: Return the CD.
    Or did you mean this was an album you bought from iTunes, in which case it really isn't a "CD" (which is a hard, plastic, shiny disc) and I'm at risk of getting confused.  If it is a corrupt file that you downloaded, delete the file and try downloading it again.
