I have a mac running iPhoto, please advise when I copy the photo to add to a document while creating a pictorial when it is pasted it turns black, I have tried many different methods to over come the issue but unsuccessful

My 6 month old Mac is using iPhoto. Please advise when I copy the photo from iPhoto to add to a word document while creating a pictorial artical as soon as it is pasted the picture it turns black, I have tried many different methods to over come the issue but unsuccessful. In the past the iPhoo was default for direct download from a card, This I have now changed but in the meantime there are photographs that I need to use. I understand window completly but still on the nursery steps with Mac.
Please advise Heather

As I said before I am reluctanct to delete and reinstall the iPhoto as I only have the one copy of the file i am using stored in iphoto file and I caint loose them.
All storage hardware and all computers will fail. Volumes will get corrupted. Mistakes will happen.
Please learn from our past mistakes and from our past data losses: please have and keep regular backups.
Either via Time Machine (which is marvelously transparent, and very easy), or backups created via some other mechanisms and tools. Old Toad recommends an external disk, and that's very effective. If this is a portable Mac, then Time Capsule devices are also very handy, as you don't have to remember to connect the backup device; so long as the Mac is within wireless range of the Time Capsule, backups will happen.
Time Machine backups can also be used to replace your files or even to upgrade to a new Mac, should your computer be lost or stolen, or should your computer or your storage fail.
If you have not already seen these, Mac Basics and Find Out How could be interesting.
As for your photos... I wouldn't expect this to be iPhoto and wouldn't go for an iPhoto reinstall as the first step, I'd tend to wonder if this is a bug or feature in Microsoft Word, or possibly a format incompatibility with what Office supports. iPhoto organizes and edits the photos that are stored in your ~/Pictures media directory. Try using iWork (if you have that) or some other tool (Apple Mail) that accepts and processes photos, and see if you can localize the problem. Depending on the image formats used, also see if exporting the picture from iWork into a jpeg-format picture — something other than the image format you're currently using with the Microsoft Office imports — works. (FWIW, I use iWork for reading and writing Microsoft Office documents as well as Pages and Keynote files, and have been using iPhoto with those and other tools for many years, and haven't encountered these blacked-out images.)

The battery's probably drained and the power brick on the fritz. Unfortunately, if she won't start there's little we can do for software-based diagnosis. You'll have to take it in to a Store or Service Provider for assessment.

I reset my ipod touch(actually on the ipod) and it say's connect to itunes but now my computer wont recognize it. Not to sure what to do i have tried many different things but still nothing.

Try using RecBoot of TinyUmbrella to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does now work, try this.

See if you missed anything:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Your phone needs repair, or you can try changing the cable you're using.

Ipod Nano will not turn off

My ipod nano will not power off. Even the sleep button does not work. I have reset everal times. Any thoughts?

I've been through 4 of those R's, as well as the Quick Fix and about 5 hours on the phone with Apple. It will now turn off, but it is still not visible to iTunes and the iPod updater won't run because it also can't see the iPod. Windows sees it just fine, so now I'm awaiting a 3-5 day response from an Apple engineer about what is wrong. This all started when I installed the 6.0 update. I'm now back to the older software, but it still won't reconize my iPod, so therefore will not update it with new songs, etc.
Thanks for your reply.

If your iPod is still under warranty, you might want to take the iPod to an Apple Store, or send it in for service:

IPod Nano 8G Not Turning On

I have an iPod Nano 8G. I can't remember exactly what generation it is, but you can determine it from the information I will give throughout this post. Short information on the iPod.
Name: iPod
Capacity: n/a
Software Version: 1.0.4
Serial Number: YM842L093QT
Problem: My iPod does not turn on. The screen displays nothing. It is just blank and appears to be "dead." However, when I connect it to my computer using the USB cable which it came with, the computer detects it. The iPod appears on iTunes, and iTunes suggest I do a recovery for it. So I did the recovery, but as soon as I finish the recovery, iTunes suggest another recovery. It goes on like this. It's like a recovery loop. I tried everything, I even tried resetting it, but the iPod just wouldn't turn on. I searched all over the internet and I can't find nothing to solve the problem, please help. I even have pictures to make it clearer.
When it's connected to iTunes: http://i56.tinypic.com/v778er.png
Proof that my computer detects it: http://i52.tinypic.com/dc3tee.png
Even though I just recovered it, I still get the notification: http://i56.tinypic.com/a24pwi.png
And a picture of my ipod in real life: http://i51.tinypic.com/2vv5eh2.jpg
Thanks if you can help, I really miss listening to my music on the train

My iPod nano will not turn on no matter what I do.

I tried holding the play button to turn it on. I tried charging it for a couple of hours. I tried resetting it. I tried plugging it into my computer. None of this made it turn on or even make a flicker of light. What should i do?

The iPod will need to be serviced, to determine the exact fault and repair it (if possible). You can get the current 7th gen iPod nano as an Apple-certified refurb for $99 (with a one-year warranty)
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod
so the cost to repair your nano may not be economical. If you are the good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

Be sure to rule out the other possibilities. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there (along with your docking cable).

My iPod Nano will not turn on. The screen is always dark.

For no apparent reason, my 4th Generation Nano stopped working. The screen is dark and when I attempt to plug it in to my computer, iTunes does not 'see' it. It will not take a charge if I plug it directly into the wall. Is there a way to reset it or am I missing something other than bringing it to an Apple store?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
