My iphoto says it's open, but isn't. All updates are installed. Help????

My iphotos says it's open, but isn't. All of my software updates are installed. Help!!!! Thanks

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • On my macbook pro it says Mail is open but isn't showing on the screen?

    Hi - help please. 
    On my macbook pro when I have been using Mail, and then move onto another app, when I try to go backto Mail, whilst it says across the top of the screen that Mail is open, it's not showing anything other than the toolbar on the screen.  I have reboot to get the Mail to show again???
    I know I am probably doing something stupid, or stupidly dont know a very quick way of getting the screen back up....DOH.
    Any suggestions would be very gratefully received please
    Thanks

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

  • Photos sent in email to my firefox also open up internet explorer all updates are okay

    when photos are sent to me by email when i view them in firefox internet explorer also opens up in the background mozilla is my default browser.
    also difficult in windows 7 to view as slideshow or download the photos. ???

    That is a know problem caused by specifying the text color as transparent in the stylesheet.<br />
    Removing that color rule or specifying a color like black (#000) should fix it.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue.  I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
    The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
    And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
    Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone.  In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

  • I have ran the diagnostics test on iTunes and iPod.  The diagnostic says there is an iPod, it is identified with the correct name, but it says there is no sync ability.  What can I do?  iPod nano 3rd generation.  All updates are current.

    It had not been used for awhile and most of the songs that were on there were gone when I turned it on.  I was trying to sync to update the library.

    Weeks, months, years?  It's possible your battery is dying.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    An .exe application is compiled for Windows. It will not run on a different OS. If you need to run this program, then you will have to install Windows on your Mac. Either as a separate bootable partition, or running in a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMWare.

  • Unable to cancel - open purchase order where all items are removed

    Hi all,
    When We try to cancel/close open purchase order where all items are removed from item master ?
    It showing error message,
    "No matching records found  'Items' (OITM) "
    Purcahse order was created on may-2007.
    As purchase order showing in open item list.
    Any solution for this problem ?
    Jeyakanthan

    SAP does allow items to be removed from the item master with open documents, but only if the documents have not created journals.
    It does create headaches though, and this situation is one of them.
    If there are not many items, I suggest you recreate the items, close the PO and just cancel the items rather than remove them.
    The other workaround is to change the items on the PO to something different that is in the item master, then close it.

  • I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    Doggiemommie,
    Copying files is not a good idea.
    The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
    This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
    Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
    Hope this explains.

  • Have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop..got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still now working.  Need help, please.

    I have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop...got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still not working...help please.

    In any event, that camera was first supported by ACR version 7.4 which needs at least CS6 to run.  Naturally, all later versions support it too.
    Your choice is either to upgrade your Photoshop, or to look for, download, install, launch and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each folder containing your raw Canon files to convert them first to raw DNGs that you can open in CS5.
    In no case does an Adobe application belong "on your desktop".  The default install location should always be respected and left alone.

  • Mac installation says Safari is open, but it is not.

    MPBr
    OSX 10.8.3
    Adobe Flash Player Version 11.7.700.169
    Tried to install newest version of flash player when prompted.
    Flash installer says that Safari is open and it can not continue, so I check my tasks and Safari is not open. I open safari and then close it with CMD+Q to ensure all instances are closed. This does not work.
    Restart my computer to ensure that safari isn't open. Attempt installation again with fresh restart. Flash installer says that Safari is open and it can not continue.
    Can not install newest version of Flash, nor can I locate information pertaining to this issue.
    Any help is appreciated (assuming that it's not a problem with the latest installer which will be remedied shortly).
    Thanks

    Mike M, your suggestion for rebooting ingores the fact that, depending how your system is set up, your computer may restart Safari on reboot, either because it was open before or because it is set as a Login item. In any case, rebooting shouldn't be necessary. Adobe used to include a utility in the installer which allowed you to force Safari to close and killed associate processes at the same time. It would save a lot of trouble if they reintroduced that. Also, there are other programs, such as FaceTab, which will cause the Flash installer to say that Safari is running (perhaps they are using WebKit).
    The option to "reopen windows on restart" (meanign to restore applications) and the login items are BOTH user set. The reopening when the reboot is executed, by checkign a box specificaly to do that, and the other in the system preferences, requiring entry of the admin password before apps can be added. Anyone who has knows how to do either, would certainly know that a reboot withthe box checked would reopen Safari, and would know that they have to terminate the process manually. Most people DON'T have Safari set as a login item, however. There are some "widgets" that will try to connect through Safari, and Facetab can a f;ase positive too, but onyl if it's a login item.
    It would be nice to have the force quit in the installer, but as one of the top posters in the Apple forums told me, OS X has changed since 10.6, to be more like iOS.  One of the significant changes with Lion and it was refined in Mt. Lion and Mavericks, is the "Gatekeeper" which keeps apps from running if the developer can't be identified. If Apple lags on updating Gatekeeper definitions, a brand new update launching the force quit would hit a snag at that point and people would be right back here asking what to do. Not having it facilitates the install IMHO.
    Currently I'm running 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.5 and 10.9 and I haven't run into the "You must close Safari" warning when it was closed. I don't use Facetab, and I only have widgets installed on my Mavericks machine. I've trashed them all on the others.
