My Iphoto Has Gone Crazy!

every time i open Iphoto all the duplicates I deleted with the annihilator are back!
not only that but tons of blank photos show up.
Pls help I have no idea what's going on. thx

Start with the top three.
If that fails:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Help, my system has gone crazy!

My imac G5 running Leopard, 10.58 Processor 18 GHz, Memory 2GB has gone crazy. I cannot open ITunes. If I try to download a small file it says my memory is nearly full and I need to clear disk space. Okay I have a few songs on iTunes and 7,900 photos on iPhoto, but that is all. I try to open a document in Word and it says 'you are working without a Word work file and your memory is nearly full'. I am not receiving e-mails when I know they have been sent. What is happening?

Don't worry about Filevault, likely you're not using it if you don't know what it is, but...

Less than 2GB free is very dangerous, you could loose everything as it's not really free space for our use.
An 80GB drive is really too small for later versions of OSX, you need to free up at the very least another 10 to 20GB.

IPhoto has gone cadywompus...

So here I am on a Saturday night looking at my photos and realized that iPhoto has gone completely cadywopmus. Viewing photos in iPhoto everything looks fine. Looking at my photos using Finder I now see, only in a few folders, that there are up to 5 duplicates of many of the photos. They all have the file name IMGXXXX1, IMGXXX2, etc. (all my photos typically have the IMG_XXXX.JPG). I did not create these, and in some cases they were dud photos that I have stricken from iPhoto altogether. Why then has iPhoto duplicated these photos? Again, it’s only in a few folders that I just looked at randomly. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?<<<</div>
Yup. I'm thinking that you used the finder to muck around with the innards of the library folder.

Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing. 36 hours is rather long. Seems like a new migration. Not what I intended.
Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter. That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user. Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
36 hours? I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here? Or a really, really slow disk? Or a sick backup? (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic. Does your existing (old) system work? If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage. (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!) In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk. Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire. And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

My iphone 5 has gone crazy...

Well, i bought my iphone about 3 months ago and i activated it about 1 and a half month ago, because i bought it in the usa and the activated it in another country, anyways since the first day i activated my iphone it has gone crazy ican't unlock it when i have to slide it at the beginning sometimes it opens apps alone, it types alone sometimes my iphone is completly good but then it goes crazy. Then i was going crazy with my iphone so i dicided to reset it, after i did such thing the iphone was still crazy, Then an update (IOS 6.01) came and i thought that the update will save my iphone by fixing this problem but it was exactly the same. please help me because my country doesn't provides an apple store where i can have apple support.
here is a video that i found that had kind of the same problem as my iphone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgnkWjGvkYo
HELP HELP HELP PLEASE I REALLY NEED MY IPHONE.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Be aware that the iPhone warranty is NOT International. You will need to either return to the US with the device and take it to Apple or ship it to someone you know in the US to take it to Apple.

My 3GS has gone crazy

I have a 3Gs that has gone crazy. Out of a sudden, voice control starts, plays music and even makes calls sometimes, the phone starts switching between applications (closes and opens them) and I can't do anything to stop it even when I touch the cancel button. It does this over and over again. At the same time this problem happened, the home button stopped working. Well it works sometimes when I restart the phone but not always. I don't think it's a matter of pressing the button hard because when it works, it's always the same press I use as before.
I upgraded to iOS4 but the problem still exists. I hope someone out there can give a hand.
Thanks

I did restore the device couple of times and I still have the same problem .. And on more thing, everytime I restored it, I get a msg on iTunes that the device is in recovery mode and that I had to restore the device!!

HT4906 My hard drive replaced and my iPhoto has gone!

Hello All,
My 16 month old Mac Book Pro's hard drive has failed so I have had it replaced. I had iphoto on my mac from when I purchased it but now it has gone (along with my mac office) and all my photos too :-( Truly gutted. Is there anything i can do to get iphoto back or will I need to purchase it now?
Dont think its right I should have to now buy it?
Thanks,

What is the operating system you originally had on your Mac, when you bought it? And what was the iPhoto version you last used?
If you already upgraded to MacOS X Mavericks and have been running iPhoto '11, version 9.5.1, you can download iPhoto again from the AppStore. Sign into the AppStore with the AppleID you used, when you set up your mac initially and open the "Purchased" tab, as described in this Support Document:
OS X: About OS X Recovery
Scroll down to the middle of the page:
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X
If your computer came with OS X Lion or later and you erase your hard disk and install OS X, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start (up) from OS X.
Choose App Store from the Apple menu.
Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
Applications you bought from the AppStore can be restored by downloading them from the Purchased tab.
To restore your iPhoto library and other applications, you need to restore from your backup - a Time Machine Backup for example, or a bootable clone of your drive.

Help! my ical has gone crazy!

i do not know what happened but ever since it became 2006 my ical has been very confused about what date it is. sometimes it shows dates correctly but usually it is a day off. for example, right now the large calendar view is telling me that today is saturday, feb 10. it IS saturday, but it's the 11th. What has gone wrong? the miniature view is telling me that today is friday, feb 10.
in addition to these problems, when i add a new event it won't allow me to put the correct times in. if i want to set an appointment for 8:00 i have to type in the number 6. i know that sounds really weird, but it's true. for the lower numbers like 1 and 2 there is nothing i can do because in ical world 1 is actually 3 and 2 is actually 4, etc.
this is the strangest thing that has ever happened and is getting me very confused about my schedule.

My Import feature has gone CRAZY!

Ok. What is going on with this folks?
I have been trying to upload photos from graduation.
It keeps asking me if I want to upload...and the number
of photos keeps growing and growing.
There are still some photos "out there" in this upload I want
and don't have on a card anymore...but they are not loading to the
library. (yet I can see them as they "upload")
HELP!
It has been uploading for HOURS now. It's stuck on 672 to load...
and has been for about an hour and a half.
What do I do?

Darci
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?

IPhoto has gone bonkers!!!

Hello everyone.
This weekend, I upgraded my iMac to 10.5.5. Now every time I drag pictures from a webpage to the desktop, the iPhoto app will startup and automatically import to iPhoto. Also if I open up a DVD, or start up various programs, iPhoto will start up and start trying to auto-import the files.
This is driving me crazy... just crazy
I have checked the settings for import and iPhoto, there is nothing there to correct this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Timmy

Timmy:
First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if that will fix the problem.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My iPod has gone crazy

I recently received a new iPod from Apple that because my old wasn't working. This one has been having problems too. At first, it would sometimes start to skip songs, (with a little rewind symbol constantly in the corner where the play symbol was supposed to go) and I had to run the battery down and recharge it to get it to go away.
Then it stopped playing any songs, it would just go to the next song on the album without playing any one. Then when I let the battery run down, it was frozen on the Apple icon when I recharged it with the charger. Then I plugged it into the computer and it showed the charging symbol that means you need to plug it into the charger for the first time.
So I did, and it loaded the iPod like the time I first got it and asked what language I wanted it in and all my songs were gone. Now every time I plug it into the computer iTunes won't recognize it, and every time I unplug it it resets itself again and asks me for the language and I still can't put any songs on it.
HELP??

Okay...

Iphoto has gone mad

Hi there
I have a new Imac and I had about 950 photos on it imported from my cameras and USB storage devices.
When I activated Iphoto for the first time and it imported photos it seemed to think there was over 30,000 photos and whilst importing it seemed to import the samew photos again and again.
I cannot open it now as it spends all its time updating thumbnails.
What has happened? Please help!
Olly

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.
