My problem is that I cannot review the photos from a given album.

When I want to see a photo from this album, it appears for a quick instant then it is replaced
by the road sign "pay attention". There is only one of my albums that has this problem.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original file.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

I have an iPhone 3g. I cannot retrieve the photos from the photo library. Is there a way to get them off the iPhone?

I am using a Windows 64 bit premium, the phone is the 3g 16gig, and I cannot retrieve the photos from the photo library. I can retrieve the camera roll. How do I get the photos from the photo library?

I'm sorry I was not clear, I am extremely frustrated with iPhones right now. That is the reason my new phone is an Android!
I have a camera roll folder on the iPhone that has 346 photos that I took with the iPhone. I was able to retrieve those simply by connecting the iPhone to the computer. I have a second folder on the iPhone that is called Photo Library that has 818 photos that I wanted to retrieve from my iPhone. These photos were placed onto the iPhone from a sync, but my computer crashed and I had to format the hard drive. Doing so obviously caused me to loose all of my photos on my computer. The photos on the iPhone in the Photo Library are associated to the old computer folder library so it will not sync to the new computer. I was trying to retrieve those photos, but was not having any luck.
UPDATE! I remembered that I had backed up the computer hard drive to an external hard drive before the crash. I located ALL of the photos on that hard drive that I was trying to retrieve from the iPhone Photo Library.
*NOTE* If anyone has an answer to how to retrieve these photos, please post as my father is also have issues trying to retrieve photos the same way only he did not have his backed up.

My iphone syncs with everything but iphoto. It used to but has now stopped. I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer. any ideas?

My iphone syncs with everything except iphoto.
It used to be able to do it, but has now stopped.
I'm trying to sync photos so I can upgrade my phone, and keep all my photos taken with my old phone.
But I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer because when I link my phone to my mac iphoto doesn't recognise it at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Lots of folks fix these kinds of issues with a simple restart of the phone. Others require a Reset of the phone.

Because I have deleted photos, Iphoto gives error that it cannot find the photos

Because I have deleted photos in my albums, Iphoto gives an error for each file saying it cannot find the file. Is there a way to stop it from looking for deleted pics?

Are you running a "referenced" library?
If you are did you delete the source photo via the Finder and not from in iPhoto? It sounds as if you did. If that's the case then drag the thumbnail to the Apple Trash Bin and empty it. That will stop the error message.
If you're running a managed library and deleted the original file via the Finder that's the reason. The same fix applies.
WARNING: Never delete a photo that's in the iPhoto library via the Finder. That damages/corrupts the library as you've experienced.

HT4236 I cannot see the photos from my last iphon sync in my iPhoto library on my mac. Help?

After my last sync with itunes on my computer, iPhoto is not showing the last couple months worth of photos from my iPhone camera role in my iPhoto Library. I tried closing iPhoto and restarting the computer and they are still not showing up. Any help?

Photos taken with the iphone are not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
Open iphoto, connect iphone, import photo

HT4291 I just bought a used iPod touch that was held out as 2d generation. Turns out it is not. My problem is that I cannot reach the iStore or get more episodes for my podcasts when I am using wifi. Any help for a technical novice?

I purchased a used iPod touch advertised as 2d generation. I later found that it is first generation. I can use the device for my limited purposes but only when connected to my desktop. For some reason that I can't figure out, I am unable to download "more episodes" for my podcasts or otherwise connect to the iStore when using my wifi connection. Can anyone provide a fix for this problem. Note that my technical skill level is about 3 on a scale of 10.

Does Safari work?
Does the iPod see the networks?

Please note that I cannot seee the output from wndows command : del *.* and the java class execution does not finished.
I I will replace the above command with the dir command then the output of the command is visible.
Would you give me a hint about how to modify the above clases in order to parse the output of the del *.* ?
Please note that the above example is important because I am developping a tool and it is mandatory for that tool to parse the output from a windows batch command.
Best regards,

No - but I will give you a hint about ProcessBuilder and how to develop software properly.
Hint #1: Don't try to automate something that you don't know, or understand, how to do manually.
a. Do you know how to execute 'del *.*' manually in a command window?
b. Did you try that manually to see what happens?
My guess is 'no'. If you had you would know that the response to a 'del *.*' command is going to be this:
Are you sure (Y/N)?
And your 'java class execution' doesn't finish because the 'del' command is waiting for you to answer that question.
Hint #2: Don't try to use ProcessBuilder for an application that requires console input unless you first know how to provide that console input via your Java code.
Your code will wait forever since it does NOT answer that question.
Search the net and The Java Tutorials and you can find examples of executing command line utilities. Then try those examples first and make sure that:
1. They work for you
2. You understand HOW they work
Then you can modify those examples to do what you want to do.

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

I have a problem when updated the new release of iphoto version(11 jun 2012). After that I cannot open any photo libraries and program is error.

If you have no photos:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and start.

I'm using iTunes 9 and I recently just bought AirPort Express. I have used it before in the past put the problem I have now is that I cannot select the Express network for my speakers. Does Airport Express only work with iTunes 10 or 11?

I purchased an HD movie on Apple TV but it says that I cannot access the server at this time. I try daily but this problem doesn't seem to go away. Any suggestions?

I purchased a movie via Apple TV/iTunes but it says that I cannot access the server at this time. In summary, I can't download the movie. This problem has persisted for 4-5 days now. Any suggestions? BTW, I upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac last weekend. Thanks!

You need more RAM.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/lackofram.html
Mostly iTunes, mail, finder, google chrome, and one or two other programs.
What are the "two other programs?" The ones you named shouldn't be consuming all your RAM, even if open concurrently. But I've heard (I don't use it) 10.7 is a memory hog.
Closing open apps may not solve the problem, since that memory is still being held in reserve for them.
This problem is usually caused by a combination of low RAM and low disk space.I am very puzzled when you say you have 895GB left on the drive. That should be an enormous amount of room for the memory to page out (write) to.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?
