My iPhoto stopped working! All the pictures are gone from it. How can I fix this?

It just is a gray screen with the loading circle in the middle. I reloaded the software that came with my computer and nothing happened. I have a macbook pro It is only a year old so I do not know why it just doesn't work. I tried everything i could find to fix it but nothing works please help!!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

You have not provided any useful technical information like system specs, error messages or whatever. We don't even know your exact product version.

That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now?

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?

Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?
All the details are the same. In my itunes library it shows as ONE whole album. When I import it to my ipod classic 160 gb it duplicates it about 4 times; it's quite irritating. It does that for 2 albums in particular and I have no idea why. Please help! Thank you.

Hi alondres,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Use the information in the following article to review the information in the iTunes database for the artist / albums you are having issues with. Make sure the information you want is exactly the same in the artist and album fields.
Playing and managing content in iTunes

Editing Info
Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
Once you have updated the information, close the iTunes application on the computer. Then reopen and resync to your iPod.
Cheers,

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue?

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue? Also, When I open the Keyboard Viewer, the letters will highlight only if I hold the modifier key(s) "Control" or "Control and Option". I really need help with this. I don't have any other computer to try it on, so I will have to test it on a friends computer sometime. But perhaps solutions that I can try right now? Thanks.

My ipod icon pictures are white.. How can I fix this?

HI,
On my Ipod all the app Icons are all white.. They can still be played but the pictures to know what it is are all white, any idea why this is happening and how to fix it??

Try a hard reset first. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod via iTunes.

Windows keeps giving me "itunes has stopped working" error message when I start itunes? How can i fix this?

After downloading the newest version, 10.6.1, whenever I open itunes I almost immediately get a "itunes has stopped working" error messsage, in which the only option is to hit the "close the program" button. Simply closing the error message closes the program as well. I am operated under windows XP with the latest updates (or so the updater tells me). It seems like its getting stuck trying to send me a new user agreement because dont you have to agree to one for every new update? It just can't seem to get past that point. I tried opening it up in safe mode but that didnt work either. Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it. Found this in another post and it worked great.
Solution:
Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

I placed a track of mine on the Global Chord track and when I remove the chords, Logic changes the pitch of all the notes in my project. How can I fix this?

I dragged and dropped an organ part onto the Chord Global Track in hopes of reading the chord symbols later. However, I continued recording and now that I want to replace a portion of that original track, I can't record over it because Logic keeps transposing every note I play based on the chords in the Global Track. Deleting these chords from the global track ruins every other track I've recorded since then. What can I do to get control back? Thanks so much.
I'm also seeing big translucent white lines all over the track I imported- those might be sustain pedal cues but I think they have to do with each new chord from the Global track...

9 hours is a lot of footage for a single Event. That is probably the hangup. Is there a way you could logically divide the event into multiple events? For example, if Martin Scorcese was filming the Woodstock concert, he could divide into Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
IMovie can use multiple events in a single project, and an event can be used in multiple projects.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened?

This is very upsetting. ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened, and how can I get them back?

Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
Try rebuilding the library.

restore from your backup. IF you don't have a backup then your pics are gone.
If you import your pics to your PC - you can use itunes to sync it back to your phone.

The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?
