OMG The Most Annoying Error in the History of iPhoto! "Alert, Photo Missing

This is driving me absolutely insane. EVERY photo that is imported into my iphoto brings an "Alert" that says, "The photo "Blah blah" could not be opened because the original item cannot be found". It's like, I DON'T CARE, upload the photo. How do I get rid of these errors that are meaningless?

What type of library are you using: a referenced library< where the photos are not copied into the library when imported< or a managed library, where the photos are copied into the library? Does the message ask you to find the original file? If so then it's a referenced library.
It will depend on the type of library as to how to go about trying to recover it.
<blockquote align="left">
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

  • Premiere has the most enoying error ever in history

    Hello people, I'm working at a project that involves a lot of Premiere and after I've progressed with it, it gives me the most killer error ever. How can I solve this? I can't recover my work, so everytime I have to start over from some point it auto-saved. Please help me with this!
    I'll be waiting for your suggestions.
    Thanks!

    So... this isn't actually any help, but I would have to say the most annoying error message ever is FCP's "General Error". Which would then be followed by your system crashing. Has to set a record for least informative error ever, and it used to come up fairly often.
    I'd follow Steven's advice, and import either you project or sequence into a new project.

  • Most annoying error in the world

    Hi, I've been having problems with the following code:
    public static Person[] calcRelative(Person[] calcArray, int len){
         for(int p =0; p<len ; p++) {          
              int convert = Integer.parseInt(calcArray[p].Num);
              calcArray[p].Father = (convert * 2);
              calcArray[p].Mother = (calcArray[p].Father + 1);
              System.out.println("person: " + calcArray[p].Forename + " " + calcArray[p].Surname + " *Father: " + calcArray[calcArray[p].Father].Forename + " " + calcArray[calcArray[p].Father].Surname + " *Mother: " + calcArray[calcArray[p].Mother].Forename + " " + calcArray[calcArray[p].Mother].Surname);
              if(calcArray[p].Partner == 0){
                   calcArray[p].Partner = (convert + 1);
    return calcArray;
    The idea of this code is that the when the following text file is read in and stored in an object array, the method above will set up the numbers of each relative. Before the numbers go into the array they are correct. However when they are retrieved they are one more than they should be. and I cannot see why. The file read is as follows:
    1.      Mark Jameson.
    Parents
    2.     Chris Jameson. He married Jessica Alburn.
    3.     Jessica Alburn.
    Grand Parents
    4.     Gary Jameson. He married Racheal Hunter.
    5.     Racheal Hunter.
    6.     Jonathon Alburn. He married Janet Jones.
    7.     Janet Jones.
    Great Grand Parents
    8.     Edward Jameson. He married Katie McHarbour.
    9.     Katie McHarbour.
    10.     William Hunter. He married Laura Berk.
    11.     Laura Berk.
    12.     Gary Alburn. He married Claire Jackson.
    13.     Claire Jackson.
    14.     Mark Jones. He married Claire Smith.
    15.     Claire Smith.
    It reads in fine and the object attributes are all set fine apart from the relatives. When tested for example, I try to achieve the object instance in position two of the array. However for whatever reason, unknown, the object in position 3 is retrieved.
    I cannot see from my code why this happens? Can anyone point out to me what is going wrong please.

    This may seem like a silly question if you know this already, but you do realize that the first element in an Array, or any Java Collection Object, has an index of 0?
    That is, an array of 5 names would look like this:
    myNames[0] = "Bob";
    myNames[1] = "Mary";
    myNames[2] = "Jim";
    myNames[3] = "Rose";
    myNames[4] = "Anthony";

  • How do you change the font size under the event and iphoto view photos?

    I would like to change the font size in iPhoto under the photos that appear in the Events view and in the Photos view. I was told by a tech at Apple that it cannot be done because it is built into the software. What you see is what you get. That seems unusual because the font size in the Photo view is smaller than that in the Events view. The Font control that exists in File/Edit are for fonts used when you open a photo and add your own captionI and have nothing to do with the various views. Does anyone know a way to do this?   Thanks

    I'm afraid it really is WYSIWYG. It can't be changed.  You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • The pictures from iPhoto keep transferring, even though I have deleted the app. What to do?

    I wanted to use the iPhoto app, but when I tried, it said that the app didn't work anymore, and that I had to transmit the pictures from iPhoto to Photos. And when I said ok to the transmit, it started to transfer. Bit every time it says that the transmit is done, it starts again, from the beginning. And I have now deleted the app, and it is still transmitting photos. What shall I do?

    Have you restarted your iPad, or reset it? (See:  reset your device)

  • I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

    Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
    See:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
    Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

  • In your experience what are the most common errors in binding files when deploying?

    As the title suggest I'm interested in discussing the most common errors in binding files when deploying.
    Reason for this is that I'm currently working on a Powershell script that can parse a binding file and create a reader friendly report (rtf format) with various information.
    But the main purpose for this script is to find common errors in the binding file used. And so far these are the ones I've thought of:
    - Tracking enabled for either services or the pipelines they are using (if it's a binding meant for Prod).
    - Orchestrations logical ports not having any ports bound to them.
    - URI containing certain words that's not ok. For example if a binding meant for Prod contains the word "test" anywhere in the URI then that should be reported in the created rtf report. This also applies vice versa.
    So now I need your help with coming up with more ideas on common errors that need to be looked after and reported on if found! 
    Additional features the report should contain:
    - Listing the details of each orchestration, send port, receive port along with their associated receive location(s). To better understand and get a quick overview on exactly what settings are planned to be deployed. Especially the "TransportTypeData"
    section which otherwise can be quite tedious to read.
    - List each unique host instance, so that I can easier see directly which ones might need a restart after an import.
    I'd appreciate if you can come up with any more features that should be included in this script.
    /Christian @ IntegrationAdmin.com

    Filter on send port not on the same line as the Filter tag.
    This one is a nice one, I ran into it several times. Mostly after copy/paste of a port definition for a binding file, because Visual Studio is formatting after paste the XML in a way the filter will get invalid. This leads to a cryptic error
    during importing the binding.

    Move cursor onto video.  Right click.  Click Settings,  Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close.  That will work.
    For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
    video.  See, if it works for you.

  • Some of the most annoying SJC issues:

    As I promised I will post some bugs I found. Will start from the most annoying for me:
    1. Visual designer does not show JSPF fragment components inside GridPanel or GroupPanel. This is just a terrible issue.
    2. CSS cannot be be assigned to JSPF during design time. I understand that JSPFs use CSS of the container page in run time but how am I going to design JSPF without CSS? Do I have to always go to the container page and preview how JSPF really looks? Sometimes when I get back from the container to JSPF it retains the styling but after refresh it gets absolutely styless again.
    3. If I am binding the "Rendered" property of a component (such as grid panel), it disappears from the visual designer (after you click refresh) and will never reappear until you unbind it.

    (1) VIsual designer does not show JSPF fragment inside GridPanel or GroupPanel: The reason this happens is that GridPanel and GroupPanel are JSF components which encode their own children; you can't put plan markup as direct children of these components (you can't do that for data table either). And a page fragment is going to be an HTML fragment; usually a <div> (look at the JSP source of your fragment). We should try to handle this better; at a minimum preventing the drop (since it doesn't work) but better yet try to fix it if we can. An< f:verbatim> here isn't what you want (this is how you can usually embed html in encoding-children components) because you don't want the JSF children of your html tag inserted verbatim. Somebody in support, can you file an issue to track this one please?
    (2) CSS in fragments: That's a reasonable request. The reason it's not shown there is as you suspected; fragments don't have their own stylesheets (stylesheets can only be added to html documents in the <head> section, and fragments are portions of <body>.)
    Also, in addition to not knowing which stylesheets are in pages that might include the fragments, we also don't know the context; when you see a fragment included in another page it doesn't just pick up styles from the stylesheets but from the context too (for example, a font-size: 48pt setting on a containing element will inherit right into the fragment). Thus, the fragment needs to know the exact element context it should use too.
    If there are multiple pages including the fragment, they might use the same stylesheet if we're lucky, but the fragments will almost certainly have different style element contexts.
    As you've noticed, the fragments already show the styling of the last page they were rendered as part of. This is a side effect of model sharing, and it's a bug I didn't think important to fix since it's sometimes nice ;-)
    However, I can see the argument that in some cases, especially if a fragment is included by only pages with the same stylesheet, it would be nice to apply those styles in the fragments too, even if it won't correctly include other style contexts from the pages. That's a reasonable request.
    (3) Rendered value binding: I agree, we should special case this to make sure rendered is considered true at designtime. I've gotta investigate how that works with some layout components though (like card layout) which I think relies on this (hiding all but one at design time)).

  • Error: Internal Erorr when generating the history. Use a different view.

    Hello,
    When I am trying to open an workbook in BEX. I get the message: Internal Error when generating the history. Use a different view.  (production system)
    How can I solve this problem? And what could be the reason? In our Development and QAS everything is OK!
    Regards,
    Boyke

    hi
    If nobody have change or write access in prod, then
    ensure that everything is OK in QAS,
    Execute the workbook and views in QAS.
    If it works fine there, some thing is missing in the transported objects.
    Ensure everything is transported correctly
    Thanks

    When my macbook goes to sleep from non activity when I return the wifi is not on.  When trying to log back onto my hub it says it is out of time and I have to reboot each time.  Most annoying, any solutions please?

    If you are not using data and the iPhone goes to sleep, it will automatically drop the wi-fi, and will not reconnect until you wake the phone up. That is the way it is designed. The only way around that is to turn off cellular data while at home and on wi-fi.
    Cannot answer the xbox question since this is an iPhone forum and I would have no idea.

  • My new speakers make the most annoying hissing noise!

    I have just purchased a set of creative megaworks 250d, now having owned an older set of speakers from creative in the past (dt surround system) i had expected the same good quality sound and craftsmanship.
    What did i get? The most annoying hissing sound in the world!
    I switch my system on and it gives out an audible hiss which can be heard upto 5-10meters away, this is completely ridiculous and pretty much ruins any sound which isnt played at a loud level!
    Ive contacted creative customer support who told me to return my product? well, fat use that is when i got my system from ebay and apparently the entire range does the same thing anyway?
    Please no comments about how my system is setup wrong and whether i have power interference, because just to check this i've been to maplins today to buy a power conditioner/filter (which cost me ?100 i may add) and a ground loop isolator, neither of these made any difference at all, still the digital snake invades my ears every time i turn the system on.
    Now i dont know what your trying to pull down at creative labs, but i can guarantee you wont be staying in the market lead making 'high quality computer audio products' that are by design defective. I want a valid solution to my problem please, i see 100 other threads on the internet concerning the same thing and quite frankly its not good enough. How much would it have cost you to install a pass filter inline to the amplifier to reduce this hiss? or is there one and its broken? is it the remote like some people are suggesting?

    *BUMP* Any solution would be good? im fairly adept with electronics so dont mind taking the unit apart if a technician would like to tell me how to fix this hiss. Would a low pass filter on the speaker line be a good solution or maybe ferrite coils on the positve wire?, would either of those work before i go out and spend yet more money?
