Photobooth won't display old photos taken after cache cleared

Hi everyone! My cache was accidentally cleared last night (I was working on cleaning my computer out, d/led Cocktail and I guess it did it automatically) and all my settings were reset. Everything has been put back to normal, except for my Photobooth-- it won't show any of the old photos taken in the app itself! It just says "No Photos", even though all the photos still remain in the user/Pictures/Photo Booth folder. When I take a new photo, it shows up in the folder right next to the old one so I don't know what the probem is.
Is there any way I can make the photos show back up in the application? None of the folders are locked. Stupid Cocktail. Thanks for your help!

I couldn't say exactly what Cocktail might have done, but it sounds like you've lost a small index file (~/Library/Application Support/Photo Booth/Recents.plist) that Photo Booth uses to keep track of pictures it takes. If you can recover that index from a backup, that's the quickest approach. If you have no backup, here's an explanation of how to rebuild the index by hand, https://discussions.apple.com/message/13176433.

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it displays OLD photo instead.

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it now displays OLD photo that had been received and saved instead. Why and how to rectify?

This problem only applies when attempting to receive photos that were sent in special format from iPhoto. No problem receiving photos sent as attachment to normal e-mail.

PhotoBooth won't save/delete photos

PhotoBooth will not save photos nor will it delete photos that are there. How can I fix this?
This is a school computer. I cannot/will not create a new user account as one post suggested previously.
iMac 21.5"OS 10.9; 3.1 GHz Intel Core i3; 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3; 206 GB available space
This is the only computer with this issue. Other 29 are fine.

oh ok, I found my PhotoBooth library file finally. I could have sworn I looked for it and couldn't find it. My husband did find it and noticed that my permissions were set to read-only.
However, changing my permissions to read-write didn't work either. (running repair permissions didn't seem to help either before this change or after it.)
Manually changing permissions did solve part of my problem -- it did allow me to delete old photos but still wouldn't allow me to take new ones. We also tried setting all the users (Staff and everyone) to read-write, but that didn't help.
My husband changed the name of the library to something else (just appended 'copy' on the end) and reopened photo booth. Then it asked if I wanted to create a new library because the old one could not be found. The new library now allows us to use Photo Booth normally. However we will have to merge the one movie I wanted to save from the old copy of the library, into the new one. Hopefully that won't recreate the problem.

On my iphone 5s, in "photos" when I touch to enlarge, random new photos taken with 5s appear as old photos taken with 4 years ago - that aren't even on the laptop that I plug into. How do I correct this?

On my iphone 5s, in "photos" when I touch to enlarge, random new photos are showing as old photos. For example, let's say I'm looking in an album at a photo of a dog I took today. If I touch to enlarge- that photo of a dog is suddenly a photo of a family member taken three years ago (on my old iphone 4). This is random and has happened to about a dozen photos. This has caused me to accidently delete new photos thinking they were old ones until I figured out this was some sort of glitch. The old photos that are posing as new photos aren't even on my laptop that I plug into - they've been on my external hard drive for awhile so I don't even know how they're linking! Any suggestions??

I've tried both ways. My Computer locates the device but doesn't see the old photos, only listing the new photos.
I no longer have the iphone3; I just transferred the photos from the 3 to the 4.
Was there a format change or file type change or did the transfer process create something different? I can still see and access the old photos if I go to that album on the phone. But that's the only place where I can see them or access them.

IPhoto library won't display, "Loading Photos" endlessly

Iphoto won't display the library, it shows the loading photos graphic endlessly. Tried deleting all relevant metadata (files in iphoto library folder and library>preferences) and repairing disk permissions, to no effect. Did not move or rename iphoto.app.
Please suggest fikes for this issue and/or alternatives to iphoto.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Tried deleting all relevant metadata (files in iphoto library folder and library>preferences)
What files did you delete in the iPhoto Library Folder, exactly?
Did not move or rename iphoto.app.
Good to know, but the warning about moving/renaming does not refer to iPhoto.app but to the library:
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Won't display main menu, even after holding on/off and home buttons simultaneously. Can't get beyond "connect to iTunes " which I can't do anyway.

After several days of inactivity iPad won't display main screen. When I first turned in on, it asked for a four digit passcode. I never had a four digit passcode. After entering "incorrect" passcode, it told me I could try again in 60 minutes. That was day one. Since then, it displays "connect to iTunes" which I can't do. I've tried holding on/off and homebuttons simultaneously. "connect to iTunes" keeps coming up. I'm stuck on that commmand.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Firefox won't display my photos

Hi,
My iWeb website, photothemes.com, has been posted for a few months now, and has almost 1,000 hits. Feedback has been good. Unfortunately, the latest version of Firefox, 3.0.1, will not display the photo thumbnails in my "album" pages, although everything else works well. Earlier versions of Firefox also worked well. Currently, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Camino all display the pages properly.
To see what I'm talking about, open Firefox 3.0.1 and go to photothemes.com; then click on any of the "Links to My Photo Albums."
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

1)
Download and install latest updates for Leopard. Click on Apple menu / Software Update. Latest OS X version is 10.5.4.
2)
Open your site in iWeb, go to you photos gallery page and do some kind of "fake" change on each photo page. Like add a text box and then delete it so that iWeb thinks that you changed something. But you really didn't.
3)
Save your work in iWeb by clicking on File / Save
4)
If you are using MobileMe then click on File / Publish ALL to MobileMe.
If you are using FTP, click on File / Publish to Folder and upload and replace the entire website (not just changes).
I hope this helps. It helped me.

Iphoto 2014 won't open old photos

I downloaded Mavericks 10.9.2 but my iPhoto when it opens says I will lose all my old photo's and I need to quit. I dragged the app to my trash and reintalled it from the App Store, and it still does the same thing. HOW do I recover my old photos which are only on here?

Did you upgrade to iPhoto v9.5.1? If no, older versions of iPhoto will not run under Mavericks.

My ipod touch (4th gen) won't display the photos that i synced?

i've tried deleting the ipod photo cache folder, restarted my ipod, and no..no errors pop up while syncing.
it just finishes syncing the selected photos that i want to sync, and when i check my ipod, it's not there.
yes the photos are compatible.
i don't think it has to do with the software version because i did not have this problem a few days ago.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod won't display imported photos

I use iPod Photo mainly to upload photos from my digital camera in the field. It has always displayed a thumbnail of the pic in the little dotted box as they are imported, and afterwards they can be viewed and checked by selecting the Roll, then Browse. Suddenly, nothing can be seen, and at Browse, the blank images display a message that "This file cannot be viewed on iPod". I have installed the latest updates and restored iPod to the factory settings (which involved wiping out music and contacts) but still nothing. The pic files are there in the DCIM folder, and upload and display perfectly on the computer, but it's a huge disadvantage if they can't be checked on screen in the field. Is it possible that some of this year's updates have cancelled the ability to view the photos? If not, what's the cause of the problem?
Powermac G4 2x800/ iBook G3 700 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I don't know, but I have the same problem. In ITunes Preferences, I have some IPhoto albums selected to import onto my IPod. Most of them do, but I get an error message:
Some of your photos, including the photo "billy & Neal cuddling.jpg" were not copied to the iPod "Kevin Kraft's iPod 917-312-7594" because they cannot be displayd on your iPod
Why do some pictures not display? If you find out, please let me know.
The irony is that the album that contains that image was at one time set in Itunes Preferences to show on my IPod, but it has been deselected for some time. So why would I cotinue get the error message?

IOS8.1.2 won't display the battery info after restating my iPhone!

There is a problem on iOS8.1.2 just have found it this morning and it is related to the battery usage information after you restart or shutdown your iPhone it goes blank and won't show you information about the usage until recharge the phone again!

This is not a problem. This is a choose. Go to your settings feature, then usage, then Battery usage, you will see the option under this settings. Click and activate it.
İf you have still this problem, you should restore/update your device via iTunes.

Firefox won't display changes to site after putting to remote host; refresh doesn't work

I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 on my machine, and since it was wiped clean I installed CS5, reconfigured my Dreamweaver site, and made changes to our index.html page (so far). After putting the files to my remote server, I noticed that Firefox does not display the changes I made to that file - it is showing the page last saved on my CS4 version. Figuring this was a cache problem, I emptied it, refreshed/reloaded several times, restarted Firefox - nothing worked.
I checked the page in IE8 and all the changes appear correctly. I used BrowserLab to preview in IE, Firefox (same version 3.6 that I use) and Safari, and all 3 display correctly the updated version of the page. Viewing in "live" Firefox seems to be the problem, and I've searched everywhere for answers. Help is needed and appreciated!

Some things to try:
1) In Firefox > Tools > Clear recent history.
2) Try adding a last modified meta tag to your index page.
<meta http-equiv="Last-Modified" content="07 February, 2011 at 16:43:39" />
3) Use an anonymous proxy

Firefox won't display attached photos from photobucket in my forum

Hi everybody,
Me and other members of the [http://snowclub.gr/forums/index.php snowclub.gr] forum cannot see attached photos (e.g. [IMG]http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/ALCATRAZ_GR/IMG_2183_low.jpg[/IMG]) on the forum. I can see that the URL above is displayed as http://'''i3%38%30'''.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/ALCATRAZ_GR/IMG_2183_low.jpg and that kind of address is not recognized by Firefox.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

You can use the bookmarklet code to make the images visible if you do not see them. 
The bookmarklet changes the URL of the images and converts the escaped characters to their real characters. 
I don't know why the s380 get escaped if you upload the images. 
Are you using the copy to clipboard on photobucket page to copy the IMG code to the clipboard?
Does that also happen if you type the text instead of pasting the link text?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Very old photos reappeared after ios8 update on iphone 5

i am using iphone 5 A1428 ios 7.1.2, backed it up then did a full restore and updated it to ios8.1, everything worked fine until i checked my photos app, pictures that i have deleted long ago some of them dated from 2012 reappeared, i don't want to go all over my 3000 pictures to delete all the unnecessary photos, any idea what to do to fix this!
should i try to restore my backup one more time ?

I had the same problem. Fortunately, before I upgraded to iOS8 I backed up my iPad to my computer using iTunes, including the non-iOS8 version of Numbers.
I deleted the iOS8 version, Numbers 2.4.2, and restored the older version via my iTunes backup. Now everything works fine.
