My library flipped

The other day, for no reason I can figure out, my music library went from A-Z to Z-A. There has to be an easy fix for this, but I can't find it. Anyone know how to get it back to A-Z?

"Page Flip" transition for slideshow widget

Anyone know if there will be a "page flip" transition for slideshow widget in a future release of Adobe Muse? I'm trying to build a small magazine in Muse and a page flip transition would really help.

Will something like http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/flip-cards work for your needs?

I need to flip a clip in the event library, not timeline. Is that possible?

I have a clip that is upsidedown and want to flip it in the event library and then work on clips. Can I do that? Is all editing available in the event library?
Also, when I flip my upsidedown image in the timeline (not where I wanted to do it), the thumbnails don't flip even after it's done rendering. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

Hello Luis,
Did what you wrote and it is indeed done. BTW, the timeline which appears when we do this procedure, what of it? Will it be a separate 'project' on the timeline or will it go away once such editing is done?
This is the timeline for that specific clip. In FCP X each clip can be opened in its own timeline.
If you again select the same clip in the event libraryand choose "open in timeline" there you'll have it.

Aperture FLIPPED MY ENTIRE LIBRARY SIDEWAYS(56,000) 3.5.1

All my importing from old libraries were completed weeks ago. I use multiple cameras.
Then wah-la one day all pics are sideways!
To make matters worse, I Selected all, clicked flip counter-clockwise. Well 56k pictures do not just flip on the click. it was going to take days, So cancelled the command. Now only most of my library is drunk
Aperture needs to get updated or be a free app. very dissappointed in the program. prior to this fisco, it crashed often.

Kirby-
Thank you for the follow-up very much!
I cant trace any pattern of things different I was doing prior. My library was begining to take shape after having most of my pictures in Lightroom and iphoto. There are autoimatic syncs set-up to flickr and Smugmug. However, When this happened I wake the machine from sleep, open Aperture and they are all flipped. So, I never saw the action underway. I wasnt excuting any commands prior. Really strange...
I have many different cameras that make the library so I cant say this all happened on a Cannon XX or Nikon XX
LATEST ACTIONS:
1. Repair Database
2.Generate Thumbnails
3. Rebuild Database/Library
Result- Nothing
***I HAVE NOT TRIED REPROCESS ORIGINALS OR GENERATE PREVIEWS****
So,I am back to my original solution, Select all and then flip the pictures.
The problem is this does not solve whatever root problem casued this, which does not give me piece of mind after making some big changes in my opeartion: New To Aperture from LR, and a new MBP. Its taken a lot of time to shift and I cant afford a repeat....

I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library. What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv?

I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library. What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv? The flipshare library is taking up too much space on my Macbook and I wanted to delete these videos once they were all tranferred to DVDs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Right-Click "Show In Playlist - Music" flips to top of Music library

Hello Apple Discussions;
I would like to know if anyone has experienced the following:
On some occasions, while in Party Shuffle mode, or for that matter, in any playlist whatsoever, sometimes right-clicking on a track, selecting "Show in Playlist -> Music" seems to select the song for a microsecond, then flips to the very beginning of the playlist.
To recover, you must either search for the song, or go back to Party Shuffle and repeat the process. The second time you perform this operation it always works.
It seems to happen only randomly. I've also noticed that you can duplicate the process with Artists as well.
Select an Artist in the Browser and the behavior sometimes will occur within the browser's Artist sub-list.
This behavior has been in play since at least version 7 and continues to this day on my Macbook Pro.
Thanks everyone who can help,

How do I successfully upgrade my iPhoto Library from 7.1.5 to 9.5.1

I've been running iPhoto on my MacBook for the past 6 years. I've accumulated a library of 280GB of photos. I had iPhoto '08 v 7.1.5 (387). Recently, I got a new Mac running Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. Using the Migration Assistant, I copied my library over to the new Macbook Pro, along with all my other files. I opened iPhoto on the new mac, and it showed a completely empty library. A 'du' from the command line (as well as Info in Finder) of the iPhoto library showed it had 280GB of space taken up, so the files were copied over correctly. Running 'find . -print | xargs md5 | sort' on both libraries before before trying to run the new iPhoto produced identical checksum on all the files (I wiped the new mac, reinstalled Mavericks and migrated again before running this on the new library).
I've also tried copying the old library to an external hard disk, same results (on file systems formatted to ignore case as well as those formatted to respect case, in all cases it was a MacOS Extended partition).
I've also tried creating a new library on the old mac, putting 2 photos in it, editing those photos (to flip and crop them). I copied it over to the new Mac (volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, ignore case, journalled), verified that I was using the proper path to this new library and that the files were identical. Same result.
Over the past two months I've tried everything I could find. One thread said I needed a migration program from such an old version of iPhoto for the Mac, so I tried downloading that from this forum, but it told me I didn't need it when I ran it.
I've tried dragging individual folders of the Originals and Modified directories over. That got my photos transferred, but the events were all messed up and the assiciation between the Original and Modified photos was lost. Since I have 43,995 photos, 23747 of which have been modified, I don't find this to be an acceptable migration path.
I tried posting this to another thread on failure of iPhoto to upgrade properly to Mavericks, but was requested to post a new thread due to protocol in these forums, so here is the new thread after making an admittedly snarky comment that Apple totally dropped the ball on this upgrade path and that it totally doesn't work. It should be this hard for a clueful computer professional with 30 years of experience to get it right.
Yours In Frustration.

There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.

HELP! Lost my entire library of over 700 songs with my last iTunes update. I had a lot of trouble even getting to update, and when it did it took out my entire library. Even after signing in with my apple ID it will not pull up my music. VERY frustrated.

It started with my iTunes not wanting to update at all. I kept getting an error that read "cannot access %appdata%". Ok so I let that go, still had my music, podcasts, books, etc...I just didn't have an updated iTunes. It still worked so I was cool with that. Then my phone broke this week, and I had to get a new one. When I came home to register, it didn't give me my songs like it did the last time I backed a device up to my account. So I had to do it manually. Not even half way through, it just stops and won't let me add anymore of my songs, and the few songs that I tried to drag over are gray in color on my phone and you can't listen to them when you tap them. Never mind all my other songs that I lost as well. I mean, come on! I had almost 300$ worth of music that I feel has been stolen. My kids received iTunes gift cards every Christmas and birthday for the past 3 years, and now it's gone. ALL OF IT. VERY VERY UPSET! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself, so back to the issue. I'm beginning to get flipped out when it stops working altogether. iTunes, computer, everything. It finally says, iTunes has an update available that will solve the issue (yeah right). Me being dumb, I guess, I begin the steps to again try and download this update. Still getting the error mentioned above, so I start finding out what to do to get rid of that error so I can GET MY SONGS ON MY NEW PHONE. Go to apple support, and it says to delete iTunes and all its similar components, and it won't even let me do that!!! I go into administrator side, and it says I need permission. I had already gotten into our administrator side to which only my husband and I know the password so I already have permission. I give up on that for a while, and see if windows has any updates. There were a couple so I download those. Try to go back into iTunes once that's all done, and it shoots up this license aggreement. I'm excited at this point thinking my ordeal is over. So I click agree and iTunes comes up. That's when I discovered all my music, apps, podcasts GONE. I click on iTunes match, and it says something about matching music for $24.99 a month?! I WANT MY MUSIC BACK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR. If this does not get resloved, I WANT MY MONEY BACK that was spent on this music. If this isn't resolved I also will never, NEVER reccomend iTunes, or any of its other music/app/book/podcast related business to anyone ever again. I have been an iTunes user for almost 4 years now, and I have never been this disappointed. When my phone broke we almost got a regular phone to save money, but because of all my music/books/podcasts already in my iTunes account we got another iPhone. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO RECOVER MY LOST LIBRARY!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

I have deleted music from itunes but they are still in my computers 'iTunes' file - how do I sync my new library to my computer's saved version?

So I have gone back to my 8GB nano and needed to downsize my library so that the songs fit on.
I went through deleting songs and made sure that I clicked 'send to recycle bin' instead of save file.
Library looks great.
Go to 'My Music' and 'iTunes' and all the flipping songs are still there!
Tried empyting recycle bin, restarting computer, read lots of comments/forums on this problem but have not yet found a way to sync my new library with my computers stored library.
Please help?

Thank you for your reply, what I am trying to achieve is for my newly edited iTunes Library to be what is also stored on my computers hard drive - currently all the deleted songs are stored too (even though I clicked for them to be deleted from my computer).
I appreciate that I could have just created a smaller playlist but I actually wanted to get rid of music I don't listen to anymore.
So at the moment I have an iTunes library that I want to back up on my external hard drive - but if I go to my music>iTunes music to transfer to external hard drive it has all my deleted songs too, which I no longer want.
Any help for that matter?

Is there a way to overwrite the ORIGINAL songs with my iTunes library info?

Hi there,
I would like to know if there is a way to overwrite the original songs with my iTunes library info? What I mean is, I have MANY songs that I have transferred to iTunes (and were obviously not purchased from iTunes) and I always put the info (such as the album name, the album art, artist, composer, etc.) and it leaves the original song (like the songs that are in "My music" section that is in "My Documents") with the same info. For example : The song that I put into the library will be "chamiionaire feastureing flip"... and in the iTunes, I put it as "Chamillionaire ft. Lil Flip". How do I make it so that it replaces the "original" info (located in my documents) with the info I put in?

Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

The front facing camera of the iPhone 5 automatically flips/mirrors the image right after it is taken. This is annoying since I would like for the image to look the same way it did while it was captured is there a way to stop this feature?

Right after I take a picture using the camera which is made to face you the image is flipped as soon as it saves to my library. Is there a fix for this? Ive read a few other posts saying apple intended for the software to do this but I was wondering if there was an option to turn this feature off.

I actually tried the steps below due to the error -5000 I had encountered during the previous tries updating my IOS to 5.1.1
"Perform a normal sync and check your iTunes to make sure everything was synced in the right places like the tabs at the top of your "summary" when you plug in your iPhone to iTunes. If everything is there and all the right boxes are checked for the stuff you want to save, then put your phone into recovery mode by keeping it plugged into your computer with iTunes still up and running. Next you want hold down the power button AND the home key button (the big button on the bottom part of your screen) AT THE SAME TIME. Your phone will go thru 4 different screens before you
Can let them go. U will see your normal power off slider screen, then a black screen, then a black screen with an apple logo, then finally a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a sync cable below it. Once you see this screen LET BOTH BUTTONS GO but not before you see this screen. Your computer will tell you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, say ok. Then hit the restore button on your iTunes summary screen, it should then ask you if you want to restore from a backup and update, say yes.... And at the end of its restoring and uploading you should have iOS 5!!"
Then it proceeded to a reactivation process... =(

After creating a new photo library....

Just got my MacBook last week, everything was fine until I tried to learn more.
I have created a new iphoto library, creating some additional login names, do some settings to expose/spaces....
Now I have faced some problems:
1. RAW file could no longer be edited
2. RAW file opened appears very blur
3. RAW file opened cannot be seen after flipping forward and backward to other phots (appear as white screen in window format, appears as black screen in full screen mode)
I am wondering whether could this be related to some settings that I have set unintentionally?
Additional questions:
- how do we remove/delete additional iphoto library?
- how to move photos from 1 library to another?
please help....

I was exploring and trying to create a new library, I first drag the original 'photo library' to 'document' folder in the Hard Disk and rename it, then create a new photo library and drag back my 1st library into iphoto. when restarting iphoto, hold down the option key and select to open in the 1st library (the one renamed)
other than that didnt do any thing else.
is there any mistake in my above steps?
When you mentioned 'elements', do you mean the photo inside?
Called up applecare, was guided:
1. drag and put all the very first photos imported (inside 'Data' folder) into Desktop
2. thrash all the iphoto library
3. go library>preferences and trash com.apple.iPhoto.plist
4. create back iphoto library and drag back all the photos from the Desktop
the major problem here is that all photos now becoming JPG (guess all RAW converted to JPG in the Data folder) and all <50KB.
now I have loss the RAW file and dont think the quality of JPG will be good when developed...
I still yet to try again RAW file editing in the new library created. will update after I got home later.

Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3. Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?

Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion.

IPhoto 8.1.2 - on a teacher's iBook: Worked flawlessly 2 weeks ago. Now it continues to lock up, it often will not import scans, I can not rotate a picture - it just flips back and forth. HELP I need to get a project out!

I created a beautiful Keepsake book a week or so ago. It worked flawlessly. Since - I've had several problems (nothing has changed on the computer/system). iPhoto will frequently lock up causing me to force quit. Other times, upon opening, it says that I don't have permission or something to open it. It often is not importing a scan saying it is an unrecognizable format (it's what I used before). When trying to rotate a photo it keeps flipping back and forth and wont stay put.
iPhoto 8.1.2
I've run Disk Utilities multiple times - fixes for about 1-2 scans/launches of iPhoto
I've restarted the computer.
I've tried to update - but can't locate a version my computer will allow me to update to.
Using an HP C3180 scanner/printer --- that is also recently not working ---- locks up, takes FOREVER to scan and then show up on the desktop.
HELP ME!!!! We're trying to get 2 books out for our students before the end of the school year.
Thanks

Sounds like your Library is corrupted to me. Simple solution: restore form your back up.
Other than that:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

Belkin Flip KVM Switch and Blue Screen

G5 Dual 2ghz, clean install of Leopard.
I have a dual head video card, attached to the DVI port is a 22" monitor connected via DVI, on the ADC port I have ADC to VGA adaptor which a Belkin "Flip" KVM switch is attached, leading to a 17" monitor.
On booting I get to the point when the Finder should be loading and get a blue screen on both monitors, the monitors both periodically do a fade from black as though the system has just tried to change video resolution. However this loop continues.
If I remove the KVM and have the 17" plugged in, boot up is fine. This set up worked fine with 10.4x.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Zork, have you cracked this problem yet?
I have a similar item - Belkin's Switch2 for Mac mini - and I get the same halting at the blue screen. Belkin UK's 2nd line support failed to replicate this error and replaced my device with the one that they used. It failed as well on my system (which works fine without the Switch2!).
In case it helps, a dig in the logs showed the following fault repeating itself presumably while the screen stayed blue:
