Nice and fast, but overall unstable. Anybody else?

Summary iPhoto 6 issues:
- Frequently (one in every 10 or so uses) tells me to rebuild the thumbs which takes a LONG time with 4000+ photos - How come?
- 3 total fatal crashes since install; Had to start the library over from scratch each time as the library db was corrupted (but ok when I started a new library and imported the pictures back, except I lost my rolls, comments, ratings, albums, etc. each time)
- Some pictures occasionally (seemingly randomly) come up as dotted lines, but are ok when I look at them in edit view; eventually fixed but not sure how
- Two of my pictures come up black, but look ok when in edit view; eventually fixed but not sure how
I've got the latest hardware, software, updates, rebuilt a vanilla install from a zeroed disk with a single user, repaired permissions, run disk utilities, blah, blah, blah... Overall I've spent more than 50 hours on iPhoto 6 problems, but they don't go away.

Thank goodness for iLife 08'. Was worth the wait.

  • Ok has anybody else seen a big drop in their synch...

    Ok since the really bad rain on Thursday night my noise ratio had dropped from 16 dB down to 5dB and although I was still at 40/10 my max attainable had dropped to just over that.
    A quick reboot of the modem this morning improved that with the noise margin going back up to 10dB and the max attainable going up to 45 meg/sec and I was wondering if anybody else has seen such a big change in their stats in the last couple of days?
    And by the way my VDSL2 profile stayed stuck at 8c.

    Ok an up date came down this morning and found the router had reset itself in the night and now my stats are are
    Basic Status
    Upstream
    Downstream
    Unit
    Actual Data Rate
    9994
    39904
    Kb/s
    SNR
    219
    62
    0.1dB
    So now I last lost 10 decibels of noise margin which corresponds to about 12 meg of attainable.
    I am on 40/10 just but I am wondering why is it happening on just the download as the upload is untouched.
    Oh well the BT checker with it's 33 meg/sec estimate may be correct after all.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks.  Everything went smoothly.  But now Excel is giving all of its warnings in what I believe is Chinese.  As an example I update a file, close it, and the warning message about saving is in Chinese.  Anybody else encounter this?

    I am having the same problem (lost in back-up purgatory) on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad2.  I am running Windows XP.
    I have tried everything I've seen suggested on various support communities, with no success.
    I have gotten used to having to find a windows workaround everytime Apple updates iTunes, and this time it is especially frustrating.  
    I don't have any solutions, and I am responding to all of these types of messages in hopes of finding something that will work for me.
    One person was able to work through it by deleting all of the previous iTunes backup files.  I'm trying that now.  4 hours into it, and it does not seem to be working......

  • Has anybody else been seeing (Not Responding) at the top of the screen and having thier browser not respond to wheel scrolling and scrolling with the usual slider at the right part of the screen?

    I have noticed my Firefox browser is having way too many incidences where it is "Not Responding". The browser freezes up for a second quite often and the "Not Responding" message will appear at the top of the screen.
    The browser will also not scroll with either the scroll bar on the right nor with the mouse wheel. Both used to work in previous versions of Firefox, but it seems to have gotten worse since Firefox 5 0r 6. The same with the "Not Responding". It is happening more with Firefox 7 than in at least the past two versions.
    Anybody else having these issues? Seems like they are hand-in-hand. Thanks for any and all help or advice. It's making me pretty angry since I'm online all day for work.
    Just an FYI. At the bottom of my troubleshooting copy/paste is a suggestion to update the driver for my graphics. That was a no-go. I tried that.

    Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
    One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
    Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

  • HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

    I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode.  Anybody else having these problems?

    Hi,
    Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before.  The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc.  Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
    I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
    I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update!  I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
    Thanks!

  • HT1338 movies played on a macbook pro stall for split seconds in quicktime and vlc. Anybody else?

    movies played on a macbook pro stall for split seconds in quicktime and vlc. Anybody else?

    Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer. I have the same issue, and it is a bug. Sometimes a restart solves it. Sometimes and if you use subtitles, you will see the first line being displayed but the second one not, etc.
    I have reported that to Apple and there is hope for a fix.

  • HT204380 I have 8 mb of broadband and am unable to use facetime as it loses the connection. The same happens with Viber. This seems to have happened since the last software update. Has anybody else had this problem.Regards, Kevin

    I have 8 mbs of broadband but it does not seem to be adequate for using Facetime or Viber. I lose the connection via Facetime every few minutes and Viber doesn't work at all. It always says that the network connection is poor yet it's showing a full signal on the phone. It was a lot better before the last software update. has anybody else had this problem.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

    I don't know who/what Indira Budiman is, but you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's an app then does it allow you to make in-app purchases within it ? If it does then you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions on your device.
