Photos all over suddenly.

All of a sudden I have several folders missing and the photos ended up in one folder. For example, I have a Corvette folder, I guess you'd cll it a folder, you know the thing with the little triangle that opens so you can see your pictures? Well all of a sudden I have anniversary photos, and other holiday photos in my Corvette folder. I do not understand how this happened. Anyone ever see this? I have used it a long time and have never seen this. Now I have to manually put it all back together again.
Also, is there a way to FORCE iPhoto 08 to recompile the photos, I think that's what it is called.
I appreciate your excellent help as always.
Paul

Paul:
I sounds like you accidently added those photos to the same Event. You'll have to manually select those photos you want regrouped together and use the Events->Create Event... menu option.
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 or later), 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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Photos all over the place

My photos all appear in iPhoto but when I look to import them into another program (such as Final Cut Pro) I can't find them. I know they are supposed to be organized in the Finder by folders marked by the year, month, date but they are not. How can I do this and how can I ensure all my further imports from my camera will be placed in the right folders?

Go to the pictures folder on your hard drive and remove the "iphoto library" folder. The next time you open iphoto it would give you the option to create a new empty library.
Drag the "originals" and "Modified" folders out of your old iphoto library into the iphoto icon in your dock - this will import all your pictures fresh into iphoto.
You should be good from there.
Alternativley you can follow kbase 107947 on your original library using all 4 rebuild options (see the article for more info). This might be able to repair the issue.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!

My photos all of sudden stopped uploading to my pc after I upgraded to IOS 7

On or around 10/13/13, my photos that I take with my IPhone stopped uploading to the ICloud on my pc. I have checked all my settings on both devices and can not figure out what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas>

Try this:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

How do I get in touch with a live person (support) : I had an issue and were very close but all over sudden we were disconnected: so frustrating, why is it so difficult to chat with somebody ?

where can I get back in that chatroom, please ?
I don't find it back
I'm here for almost 1,5 hour, and still no solution

Saved Photo albums gone, photos all over the place

I've just got this phone today, swapped my memory card with a load of photo albums of various holidays etc from my old xperia Ray but now the albums have gone & the photos have gone to the time order they were taken in, they still show up as albums when I plug the phone into my laptop but not on my phone, just 2000+ photos in one place, any ideas on how to get them back in order? Thanks

All the sudden my Lightroom isn't carrying the adjustments over to Photoshop. Any way to reset this?

When I make adjustments to a photo in Ligthroom, such as Lens Correction, those adjustments are not applying to the image when I pull it into Photoshop.
All the sudden it just stopped carrying the adjustments over. Any suggestions?

LR 4.x incorporates the equivalent of ACR 7.x and Photoshop 6.x has the ACR plugin ACR 7.x so if they are both updated to the equivalent ACR version, then if you use the "edit in" function from LR the file with LR adjustments applied should open automatically in Photoshop.
If you are choosing to open a file directly from Photoshop the only way the adjustments you made in Lightroom can be read by Photoshop is if you had Lightroom write the adjustments to xmp. By default Lightroom writes all adjustments to the LR "Catalog" and Photoshop cannot read from the LR Catalog.
In LR you can use the option in preferences to "Automaticaly write to xmp" or from the LR Menu choose Photo> Save metadata to file (ctrl/command-s) to enable Photoshop read the adjustments.

Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

All of a sudden my track pad doesn't work properly and mouse pointer is jumping all over my screen

Help, it feels like someone else is controlling my mouse. This just started happening. My trackpad doesn't work or works sporadically. While typing the pointer is scrolling all over my screen. This is really annoying.

Great tip! Your suggestion to check for a swollen battery in my laptop is working for me. You should get credit for solving the problem.
On my MacBook Pro (2008), my cursor was out-of-control for the past couple of days, like it was having a sissy-fit. In TextEdit, for example, I would enter text, but the text would no longer be entered smoothly, in sync with my typing. Nor would the text appear where I wanted it go. Sometimes, the text I was typing, say in the last line of the document, would jump and insert itself somewhere above in the document. Sometimes, entire lines of text, or entire paragraphs, would get highlighted and then immediately deleted upon my hitting the next keystroke. Not an acceptable way to work!
I tested this odd behavior in Leopard and in Snow Leopard and in Lion, which are all partitioned on my laptop's hard drive. Since I could not isolate the problem to any one version of the Mac OS, I began to fear that my motherboard had gotten compromised and went defective on me.
Your tip proved that it was merely a swollen battery that was the cause of my problems. I was able to confirm this by removing the original battery (now 4 years old) and placing it on a hard surface. It rocked like a see-saw, ever so slightly, about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch at the far sides of the rocking motion. When I looked at that original, swollen battery from the side, I got further indication that your insight was likely correct, for I could spy the area where the swelling was occurring: it was at an edge in the middle of the battery, and it was separating from the base by about 1/16-inch, just enough to make me wonder why the "springiness" had suddenly disappeared from the central portion of my trackpad.
That change in the touch and the lack of aural feedback (i.e. no "click" sound or feeling) when I depressed the trackpad in the central section, was my first clue that something was wrong. The crazy cursor behavior on-screen was further indication that something was amiss.
I type this reply under A/C power, as the replacement battery, which I had purchased from Other World Computing back in September 2011 for just such an eventuality, is now charging. At first, I was worried that the replacement battery was a dud, for it was stuck on 0% for nearly 10-15 minutes before it began to take a charge. But, 30 minutes of paience has paid off: the replacement battery is now at 15% and getting more powerful by the minute.

I tried to move my photos to MY PASSPORT and they populated all over my screen; I can't get rid of them. HELP!

I tried to move my photos to MY PASSPORT and they populated all over my screen - I can't get rid of them. HELP!

This problem sounds like a missed target and too many files: user meant to drag and drop files to the WD My Passport icon on the Desktop but dropped files on the Desktop instead. If so, there could be thousands of files on the Desktop; Finder is trying to create icons for every dropped file--and one day Finder might finish--but the Mac is essentially stuck till those files leave the Desktop.
Various solutions exist, with increasing levels of difficulty:
1. In Finder, hit Cmd-N to open a "list" display window of the Desktop, then move files from this window to a new folder--or, as others advise, Cmd-drag files to the WD My Passport (easy, but given the bogged-down system, probably not an option).
2. From the Finder menu, Go > Desktop to get to a "list" display rather than an "icon" display window, followed by drag/drop clean-up to a new folder or Cmd-drag files to the WD (again, easy, but also perhaps not possible).
3. Start in Safe Mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564) and then move the excess Desktop files to a new folder or Cmd-drag files to the WD. (Safe Mode loads only essential graphics routines, so the Finder may be more snappy even with an overloaded Desktop).
4. Boot from the installation DVD and then navigate to the overloaded Desktop to move the photo files to a new folder or Cmd-drag to the WD.
5. Use a second Mac to connect in Target Disk Mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/ph3838) to clean up the messy Desktop.
6. Use Terminal and unix commands to clean the Desktop. Try the easy ways first.

That often happens with cameras when you take pictures of a computer screen. LCD screens "flicker" and the camera will often catch the flicker.

I synced about 50 books to my new ipad air 2. When I click any other books, the sync starts all over again for all books (it shows 51 books syncing). If I abort the sync, all of a sudden, all books are gone from my ipad. I don't know why.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

2 x laptops + 1 x iMac - photos scattered over all of them - how to manage?

2 x laptops + 1 x iMac - various photos scattered over all of them - how to manage?
Our 2 x digital cameras get plugged into various computers.
5 devices (6 if you count the video camera) and one family
The result is our family's photos are all over the place.
I am working on a Mobile Me Gallery to get the best shots of our kids finally in one place.
But what about ordering? Do we really have to pay shipping 3 times if we order from each of the 3 Mac's ?
*Or can you build up ONE LARGE photo order from different Mac's?* And review it?
Or can the Gallery function somehow be harnessed to create an order 'compilation'?
*iPhoto family sync* - that's whats needed!
OK I think I have described the problem - I look forward to any input from the MacSperts for solutions, work arounds, suggestions!
Thanks in advance

Sometimes an issue can be fixed with a change of software or hardware, sometimes with a behavioural change by the user(s).
Bluntly, you’re going to need to instill some discipline into this Family Jules. Wave a big stick, beg, plead or whine, but if you will insist on putting data from five devices into any of three computers there is nothing that will prevent a mess!
The best thing you can do is to use one Library as a Master Library. Then use iPhoto sharing to make all the pics available to the other machines. It’s not really that hard. The obvious candidate is the iMac, as that’s always home...
Simply tell folks to upload the pics into the iMac. Then you’ve all your pics in one place, and all problems are solved.
Does this seem a tad draconian? We the advantages are clear: backing up one library backs up all the photos. Currently, do you have a back up? What if one machine breaks? Has database corruption? How do you know you’ve got all the photos? Yes, you will have to pay shipping for each order from each machine, so it will be cheaper too.
You can gather all the pics from all the machines into the iMac library by using iPhoto Library Manager to move photos, albums, events between libraries.

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu. Do you know how to fix this?

mmchisholm - just so you know you're not alone, I too am having the exact same issue as of latest software update bundle. Have to manually add each photo until Apple issues solution or minor software update.

After putting still photos into the time line the pop up all over my video when I burn a CD or load to YouTube

After putting still photos into the time line the pop up all over my video when I burn a CD or load to YouTube.
The video in FCPX looks fine, But when I load it the photos will play over top of each other or double play.

Export your project as Quick Time Current Settings by choosing Export Media in the Share menu. See if the movie plays correctly in QT Player. If it does, upload that to Web.
