What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

How do I open .exe files on my mac?

How do I open .exe files on my mac? I've downloaded a bunch of programs but they are all in .exe format. Do I need a program to extract these files?
Thanks,

Ok thanks. So how do you install programs that you download from the internet? I've downloaded some programs and when I try to install them it doesn't work.
First of all, you need to download things that are built to run on OS X - there is no way to install any Windows program in OS X. You need windows to run Windows programs.
Most downloadable programs for OS X will be distributed in a Disc Image file - *.dmg You would double click one to open it. Then, often it is as simple as drag the uncompressed folder to your Applications Folder. Sometimes there may be an installer to run. Once installed, you can eject the mounted dmg (drag it to the trash) and either keep is in case you ever need to reinstall, or delete it.

Opening exe files on a Mac (OS X mountain lion)

Hello,
I need to open exe files on my Macbook pro currently on the OS X Mountain Lion. I can't figure out how to open them, I know there are ways but I cant seem to find one that works. I would prefer one that is COMPLETELY free. Please respond ASAP!
Thanks!

Well, if is a not to complex application that doesn't need a lot of resources, you may be lucky and be able to create a Mac version by encapsulating it in WINE with WineBottler: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
Beware, Mac & Windows savvyness required. Not Plug & Play. But it IS free....

Can't open .pkg files. Going mad, please help!

I'm trying to open an edirol driver with a .pkg file type but the icon just expands and then nothing happens. Same thing happpens with other .pkg files. I've opened with Installer, tried creating a new admin user, copied to desktop but to no avail. Is there anything else I can try short of Archive & Install? Bit scared of trying that. Please help.
Thanks.

Prince of Wales:
I just downloaded the file in Firefox. In the download window I clicked Open and the file was expanded on my desktop. I located the folder and double clicked. I then double-clicked on the .pkg and it opened the installer and was ready to run the script to see if the software could be installed on my computer.
I suggest that you try downloading the file again and see if a new download makes a difference. Incidentally, not that it should make a difference, what browser are you using? Have you had difficulty expanding and installing any other downloads.
Good luck.

How can I open .exe files on my mac?

I have been sent a coule of tese files and eah time my mac is trying to open them with quick time. what should i be opening them with so they are usable?

An .exe file is a Windows application/program. You can't "open" them. You would have to have Windows installed in order to use them.
The only exception being if the file is a .zip archive that was created as, or converted to a self extracting file. Those also appear with the .exe extension. In which case, the free Stuffit Expander can open them.

Upgraded to Yosemite now I cannot open PSD files on illustrator. Please help

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my Mac and now when I open Illustrator I cannot open psd files. The error message I get when I open illustrator is "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"
Is there a fix for this? I cannot afford to upgrade my CS4 at this time.
Thanks.

Thanks Larry - the issue is that I need to keep all of the layers (there are a lot of them) and when I save as pdf it flattens the image. Is there no way to be able to open PSD files now that I upgraded to Yosemite?
Thanks again.

I just tried to update Firefox to version 9.0.1. It got to 13% extracting, then I got an error message, Cannot Open Output File. Can you please help me?

The file could be downloaded incorrectly. Could you redownload it again from [http://getfirefox.com http://getfirefox.com]?

Firefox quit on my MAC, I uninstalled and now cannot install, keep getting error that it is open or file is missing. PLEASE HELP, have to use Firefox for work.

I have an iMAC w/OS 10.7.5. I was working in Firefox today and as I was entering letters it changed to unrecognizable characters so I had to exit the application. Firefox froze up and after trying to re-open it many times, I finally tried uninstalling and then re-installing. When trying to open a new download, I am given an error message saying that firefox is already open or that files are missing. I spent approx 2 hrs on the phone with Apple support and they were unable to locate problem and I am now turning to you for help. I need this fixed desperately and ASAP as the program that I use for work will only run on Firefox.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Hi there @Delta0 and welcome to the community!
I understand you can scan however, you cannot open up the PDF file afterwards.
Please let me know which operating system you are running and I will certainly look into this issue for you.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
In the meantime, try updating Adobe to see if that helps.
Have a great day

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Problems opening PDF files/folders/web links please help

I have Windows XP, run Internet Explorer 7 and have Adobe Reader 8.1.2.
Now please understand that I am not terribly computer literate to I will do the best I can to describe my problem.
When I click on a link on a web page that requires Adobe Reader to view the new page, the new page is opened in Microsoft Word and of course is all jumbled.
So to actually be able to open and view the page I have to right click the link, click Save As, save it to a folder, left click Open Folder then Right click the document and choose Open With Adobe Reader 8.
So my question is how can I set the computer/Adobe Reader/ or whatever to automatically open things that require Adobe Reader to be viewed to open in Adobe Reader and not Microsoft Word.
Many thanks to anybody who can help me.

I also have Windows XP, run Internet Explorer 7, and have Adobe Reader 8.1.2.
Melissa is more computer literate than I am so bear with me and provide me with all the help you can.
My problem is that when I click on a new link on a web page to view or fill up or print a document, sometimes the document or the link will open and other times it will not open at all. What can I do to rectify this problem?
