No iphoto pics can be selected for desktop

I just completed a software update and when it restarted, my desktop picture was replaced with the Apple purple starburst one. Argh. So I go to System Prefs, Desktop/Screen Saver and when I select any of my iPhoto pics it will not set the desktop and the image thumbnail in the upper left of the pane shows a Question Mark. However any Apple pic does indeed show on the desktop and in the thumbnail.
I really liked having my custom pictures. Sigh.
Whatever happened?

I have not purchased the latest version on this machine. I have on my laptop and other office mac, but i do not share all the photos between these 3 macs.
A R G H
I did open iPhoto and saw my photos. I then rebuilt the library according to the link you supplied (Very thoughtful, thank you so much).
Then as you suggested I tried dragging a photo to the desktop - nope.
Then I tried setting the desktop picture - nope.
THEN I double clicked a pic in iPhoto and that's when I got the big ugly gray horrid exclamation point.
So from the file menu of iPhoto I dragged to browse backups and lo and behold when I double click on pics, some show up (usually smart albums) and others simply show a blank gray window.
Sigh.
I have been backing up for about a year now. And in February the back up said there wasn't enough room. So I stopped backing up photos. In trying to figure out what was going on, in time machine setup I removed music, movies and pics from backup. Somehow I managed to lose permissions to iPhoto - this must be the real issue. But when I did a restore from the back up prior to February, all photos returned (or so I thought, until today.) In typing this post is when I realized that OBVIOUSLY these are related issues. is there any hope / help I may get my photos back? Now this is NOT the original question I posed, but certainly is more relevant and since the photo is not there, it can't be set as a desktop pic.

F110 - No bank can be selected for comp code 8888 payment pethod C cur USD

Dear All Experts,
I am running F110 program, while doing getting this error
*No bank can be selected for comp code 8888 payment pethod C cur USD*
I have configured the FBZP section with possible all entries as follows :-
1 ) Payment Method in country - Currencies Allowed is blank - Means all aplicable.
2 ) Payment method company code data :- Forign currencies allowed option is Ticked.
3 ) Bank Determination - Ranking Order - Payment Method , currency USD , rank order , House Bank.
4 ) Bank Determination - Bank Account - House Bank , payment Method, currency USD , Account ID, Bank Subaccount.
Which part of configuration is missing ?
P.S. :- My company code currency is INR. Invoice posted in USD and require to pay in USD itself.
Experts guidance will be appreciable.
Regards,
Sharvari Joshi.

Hi:
Please make sure that you have specified a House Bank in the vendor master record or line item.
Also have a look at what you have configured in FBZP . SAP reads the Bank Determination ,Ranking Order to determine whether payment method C can be used. Ranking Order, Bank Acocunts, Available Amounts and Value Date all should must be configured for payment method C. Also make sure the payment method C is assigned to the company code.
Please check these all and revert back.

Monitor selection for Desktop video

I have 4 monitors, 3 are the same model and specs (Asus 21.5" connected via DVI). The fourth is an HDMI monitor connevcted via the HDMI port on a graphics card. I have 2 of the 21.5 monitors being driven by an EVGA GTX 580 nVidia card and the other two are driven by an EVGA GT 520 nVidia card. When I attempt to select the HDMI monitor for video output, the monitor isn't listed in the drop down for available desktop video monitors. In fact, only one monitor displays... the Asus 21.5 connected via DVI on the GT 520 card. The second monitor on the GTX580 card and the HDMI output don't show up.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening and how I can get them listed/usable?
Thanks.

Normally, a 220 kbps wmv, won't tax your computer CPU that much.
A video like this can be watched in almost any computer with a CPU higher than Pentium 2. It could actually play in a Pentium 2 depedning on how movement the video it self has.
As a general rule, I wouldn't care much about the computer CPU or RAM until the video code rate goes over 1 Mbps.

JDBC Thin: Can use "select for update"?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if/how can I solve the concurrency
upon a result set?
JDK 1.2 documentation contains the following Connection's

We don't have support for JDBC 2.0 yet.
You can use SQL with 'for update' clause in the present
8i drivers. However, make sure that autoCommit
is OFF

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

Can't attach an iPhoto pic to a new message

I know there is going to be an easy answer to this, but whenever I try to attach a photo to a new outgoing message the system locks up and I have to force quit mail and/or restart the machine. I click "attachment" and select Pictures. From that point on I think it is trying to attach ALL the pictures to the message. How do I get to the point of selecting specific pics to attach? I tried selecting iPhoto, but that's the application. Pictures seems to be where the actual photos are, but I haven't been able to see the individual pics. The only success I've had is to move the desired pic to the desktop and then attach it from there, which results in a huge picture embedded in the text message. Any help would be appreciated.

John, Thanks for the tip. Your suggestion did work, but I'm still wondering why pics can't be added as attachments. I was able to insert pics into a new message using the method you described, but the size options are very limiited i.e., small, medium and large. Seems like pics should be selected from the iPhoto library (somehow) and attached to the message. I may have to email .mac support to get a final answer.
Thanks

IPhoto '08- can't see photo files for back up

I had upgraded to iLife '08. I usually back up current photo files to an external drive by going in iPhoto folder in users, select the new photos by folder and drag into my back up drive. Now I click on the iPhoto '08 icon and it acts like an application and opens iPhoto. Are the files now invisible? I don't think I like that! Am I to forced to export for back up?

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
Perhaps your best bet, though, is to use a Back Up utility such as DejaVu or Chronosync which can do incremental back ups and can parse the iPhoto Package File.

Copying pics from iphoto says can't copy, photo is busy????

Sometimes when I try to copy photos from iphoto to my external hard drive, it comes up with the message 'cannot copy to this location because one or more of the pictures is busy' what does this mean and how can I change it? It happens quite randomly and if I delete the pic or change the name of the pic i'm trying to copy, it will choose another pic to be busy.....what am I doing wrong? it's infuriating. WHat's more, there is nothing about it in David Pogues 'missing manual'. Am I the only one at a loss when it comes to finding solutions to problems that seem so simple?????

jesssroooo
*It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. There is no need for you to ever enter this folder. There are no user serviceable parts there. Period.*
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
is there a simple way to make the pictures in my finder>pictures>iphotolibrary corresponde with the pics in iphoto?
No. The Finder is a File Organiser, iPhoto is a photo organiser. The point is that you let iPhoto look after the files and you organise, edit, whatever in the iPhoto Window - without reference to the files.
To delete pics from iPhoto and the HD, put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it, that's all.
i don't want to have multiple duplicates of the same image
You don't, you have different versions - as detailed above. There is no way to stop iphoto from preserving your original file. If you don't want this use another application.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Again, stay out of the iPhoto Library in the Finder, and remember everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window - and if you can't figure out how to achieve something, post here or even check the Help.

I attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded, now computer freezes after trying to load everything. possible to reverse this? options? restore hd from time machine? pls help!!!

long story short...i attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded to my desktop and now my computer freezes up after trying to load everything, and i'm not able to just drag the photos into the folder. is it possible to reverse this? what are my options? restore hd from time machine?
a further question to restoring my hd from a previous backup on time machine...it says it will erase the hd. does it actually erase everything or does it just erase anything that may have been added or downloaded since that backup? this is confusing to me.
another problem which is part of the original problem is it seems that when i connect my iphone to my computer and iphoto uploads my pics...it doesn't just upload new ones, it duplicates and uploads every picture again...which is why i have 45,000 pics...they are 40,000 duplicates! what's up with that?
I have a macbook pro, and recently updated the os to Yosemite. the iphoto app is out of date, but i'll worry about that once i can figure out how to get all those pics off the desktop. also, i recently purchased and installed 8g of new ram, but that hasn't seemed to help.
any advice would be appreciated!
thanks!!

thanks for replying.
the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do. it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes. it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop? and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from? sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy.
i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'?
as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder. was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything. once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto. this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over. it will basically be a lot of deleting.
one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck. :-)
thanks again, for your help.

IPhoto is asking me to use iPhoto Library Upgrader, downloaded it and it wont let me select iPhoto or the libraries on my desktop.

I have iPhoto 9.5.1. The other day I tried to open an old library that I moved from another laptop. Since then, I have been getting this error message. I have downloaded iPhoto Library Upgrader and it wont let me select my 9.5.1 version of iPhoto or the old library on my desktop.

You do not need the iPhoto library upgrader for a library created by iPhoto 9.5.1 - only for libraries form iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) and older
The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto '08 (v7.x) or earlier so that you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. If your library is from iPhoto '09 (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool.

Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Can I convert a book made in iPhoto to a quicktime movie for the web?

Hi,
Please help, I have a great book that I have made in iPhoto and had printed but would like to post it to my mac website for people to be able to view with all the photos, titles, and audio. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Jim

James:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are two ways you can do that.
While in the book mode, do a Print to PDF in the Print window but select the Send PDF to iPhoto option. This will start an Automator process that converts each page to a jpg file and imports it into a user determined album in iPhoto. NOTE: when the process is complete and it's time for you to name or select an album a window will be presented. BUT if often stays behind the other windows and you'll think the process has failed. So make sure you can hide the other windows if it doesn't present itself to you. It took me several tries before I realized what was happening.
Once the pages are in iPHoto as separate files, you can try:
1 - put them in an album and add to an iWeb photo page where they can be viewed individually or as a slideshow.
2 - create a slideshow in iPHoto, export to Quicktime and post that QT movie file to an iWeb page.
3 - create an iDVD project, add a slideshow and import the stills into iDVD to create a slideshow with music. A great gift to go along with a book. This method is explained in Tutorial #6.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
