IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have spoken to Apple and they cannot fix.

When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have contacted Apple and they do not have a solution for this issue. This is a huge problem for me.

No, the senders are in most case sending from corporate servers which are almost certainly not Mac based. Also, remember this happens when I send or receive. So if I send something with an attachment, the attachment will go through, but the sent box will not show the paper clip icon so that I can distinguish the emails sent with attachments versus the emails sent without attachments. I receive the attachments as well, but again the paper clip icon does not show up so that I can distinguish the emails that I have received that contain attachments. Recipients of my e-mails have complianed that when they receive an attachment from me they do not see the paper clip icon which alerts them to the fact that the email contains an attachment.

I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist. It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution. I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.

Mail icon shows (1) unread msg, but all msgs are read

Yesterday, my mail icon showed one unread message. When I clicked on the app, there were no new messages, but now the (1) won't go away. How do I get the (1) to go away?
null

I also have the badge showing unread emails at a higher number than emails in my inbox. I think it may be because i deleted a number of emails from iPhone in box without opening them because i had already read them on my Mac. How can i reset. Home/sleep buttons don't do the job. Other remedies?

Mail icon shows new mail but all mail has been read. Won't update with phone reset.

My mail icon shows new mail (1 currently) but I have no new mail. I have synced phone and turned off several times to no avail.

If you have reset your phone several times and does not fix , then restore your phone in itunes from your backup. Be sure that you have a recent backup with all items that you wanted saved, synced.
BEFORE, you do the restore, try deleting the mail account and reaading it and see if that fixes the issue, otherwise , then do the restore.

Mail icon shows I have mail but then I go to page and its not there

Mail icon shows thereis email. Going to mail page then the mail doesn't show up. Confused

Use a computer to access your mail server and clean up that particular folder.

HT3228 My mail icon shows how many I have, but there isn't any list on the left side. I will read your answers on another computer. I can send OK.

My mail icon shows how many I have, but the screen is blank with no emails listed on the left side. They used to be there. I can send OK.
Any suggestions? I will read replies on another computer until this is resolved.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Mail icon shows new messages but cannot access them

I am setting up my email account on my new iPod Touch. Put in all the info, the account is verified, the mail icon shows 50 unread messages, but when I tap the icon I see the same old list of mail services, iCloud, MS Exchange, but not my account. My mail service, an independant, supports pop and iMac so I have set it up as both and neither works. Seems like it is logging into the account. Any idea?

It is covered in the Troubleshooting chapter of the iPod users Guide. It includes:
"Restarting and resetting iPod touch
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPod touch, forcing an app to close, or resetting
iPod touch.
Restart iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger
across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, hold down the On/Off button
until the Apple logo appears. \"

My Mac mail is showing that I have flagged messages, but I've cleared them all out! I'm running Mac mail 7.3.

My Mac mail is showing that I still have flagged messages in my Inbox, but I've cleared them all out. I'm running Mac mail 7.3 on my Macbook Pro, OS X Mavericks 10.9.4. Most of the fixes that I've found are for Smart mailboxes, which I don't use - this is solely for my flagged messages. My Junk and Trash mailboxes have been cleared as well.

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

TS3899 I have just set up an email account on my ipod touch. Just received an email on my computer and the mail icon shows one new message. But when I click on mail icon it opens a page for New Account not an inbox??

Having just set up my Ipod Touch with my email account (pop3) the mail icon on it shows a 1 for new message. However when I click on the Mail icon it brings up a page for NEW ACCOUNT not any inbox. Can anyone help?

You might want to try removing they email account and setting it back up again

Windows 7 64 bit: I just upgraded Firefox to 7.1 , I can't watch video on youtube, video freezes, then the browser freezes. I right click on the icon showing the page is open on the taskbar & click close then cancel, it starts then freezes again?

When I watch any video on youtube, every video first starts with short freezes then freezes the Firefox 7.1 Browser window. I have to right click on the icon that shows the browser is open on the taskbar at the bottom of windows and then click on close& cancel to get it to start working again. Also, on any site, I am having problems with links & functions that suddenly stop working, site connections being dropped frequently for no reason, my Modem is stable & internet shows connected. On facebook when I click a button(photos) it doesn't work, in Amazon I click on "submit" and the button stops functioning, in yahoo mail I can click on a button to "send" mail and it won't work. I can open them in IE9 or Chrome but not in Firefox. I have tried disabling all plugins.I also have tried disabling all but flash and still the problems persist. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF.

Command + R *should* take it to a recovery console. Command + Option + P + R resets the PRAM, but that doesn't sound like your fix.If all of your buttons are working fine on OSX side, I would ignore PRAM / NVRAM / SMC reset tricks, since these are tested as working fine.
I would say you should probably reinstall the drivers for bootcamp. I tried this with 5 in Windows 8 and it gives you an option to repair. The reason I say this is because the UI isn't showing up, which means that it's using another driver.
If this doesn't work, go into device manager and then roll back to your previous settings.
One more thing comes to mind. Do you ever use Parallels or VMWare to load your bootcamp partition? They have their own driver packages which can cause some unwanted behavior when using windows natively.
One last thing you can do is try to by-pass the GUI powerplan entirely. You can use the Powercfg command, which, as it happens, has instructions on how to forcefully set the brightness values. You probably won't be able to make it through these instructions since you will get an error at some point, but that will give us more diagnostic information.
Good luck!

Can't get rid of unread mail icon--shows 2 unread messages but can't find any

I've got a smart mailbox that shows unread messages so I can easily see what new and unread mail I have. The problem is it gives me the notification icon that indicates I have two unread messages, yet the mailbox does not show any messages as unread... This isn't a huge problem, but the Mail icon in my dock always shows that I have new mail, and the notification icon is small enough that I can't always clearly see if it's the "usual 2" or a higher number. What could be causing this and how do I either find the unread messages or get this icon reduced to where it only shows me REAL unread messages?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
