Photos displays "Closing the Library" for a loooong time when quitting
I Have just been migrating a large Aperture Library to the new Photos app. The import took many hours, and now just trying to quit, it is displaying the message "Closing the Library." This has been up for a couple of hours.
IS this a one-time saving of thumbnails, etc. or will this happen every time?
thank you,
Ross
Hi!
My mom had the same problem the "Photos" app. She has a 21.5 inch, Mid 2010 iMac running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3.
So I tried "Force Quitting" the Photos app by clicking "Force Quit," which is under the Apple Icon in the menu bar, highlighting the Photos app icon in the pop-up window and clicking the "Force Quit" button.
Once Photos was closed, I shut down the computer waited for a minute, then powered the computer back on. Now the Photos app seems to be working fine, including having updated the library with photos taken recently, even during the period when the Photos app was having the problem.
Let me know if this helps!

IPhoto hangs "closing the library"
Every time I close iPhoto on my iMac it endlessly displays "Closing the library." But it never closes unless force quit the program. Suggestions?
Well, that's a handy bit of information.
It didn't do it the first time it converted it.
Goes to my issue with the lack of transparency with some Apple products.
Too much gets hidden from the user.
Huh? You installed beta software? You know, nothing is hidden from the user who is prepared to learn and take the time to do it. It's a bit like a car in that way. Some folks never open the hood and look at the engine, some folks enjoy dismantling and re-assembling them. If you're not the person who enjoys that puzzle then don;t get involved with beta testing. Things go wrong. That's what the process is all about.
And I think you'll find that every software manufacturer on every OS might have a better help file. -
I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?
And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

Whenever I try to log in to my Gmail account, the page redirects for a loooong time, then says that it won't load properly, and that the problem may be caused by not enabling cookies, but I have them enabled. Any idea what the problem might really be?
I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

How do i move a video file from the theater to the library for more editing? New version of iMovie.
How do I move a video file from theater to the library for additional editing in iMovie. It is a new iMac so i guess i have the newest version of iMovie.
Hi hilldw61,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have added a clip or project to iMovie Theater but would like to continue working on it. When you upload the project to iMovie Theater, the original project remains in iMovie where you can edit it further.

After editing a photo in another program, the photos return to the library at the end of the grid panel instead of at their original loacation. How do I avoid this or alternatively, is there a quick way of moving them back to their original position instead of clicking and dragging them?
Sort your photos by File Name or Capture Date
Use View->Sort -
Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?
It does, under certain circumstances. If you are playing music and lock the phone or it locks on its own, when you wake it up, the album art will show. It also shows as the background if you are in the music app. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, you can submit feedback to Apple about this feature at www.apple.com/feedback.

Attaching Variable to the Library for Report Painter for Cost center report
Hi,
I want to attach the Variable - "Cost element group" to the Library for Report Painter for getting Cost center report. The Cost center report should be cost element group wise with actaul, budget and variance. Please let me know the process.hi..
I think you have to first define Attribute mis as "V" in Cost element master basic data tab for the elements you want to capture as varible.
Then make a Cost element group / set in KAH1/GS01 and use it in your report.

iphoto, navigating: when navigating my iphoto library is there a short cut or hotkey that will take the cursor to the last photo (bottom of the library)?
A list of all iPhoto '11 shortcuts is here:
Apple - Support - iPhoto - Keyboard Shortcuts
I don't know of any keyboard shortcut to jump to the last photo, but if you option click the end of the scrollbar in the film strip you will jump to the last photo in the film strip.

After Organizing my bookmarks, they won't stay sorted after closing the library
Firefox version 3.6.12
Went to 'organize bookmark library' and pulled down the 'view' menu
Selected the 'Bookmarks Menu' on right
Pulled down 'views', selected 'sort, the 'sort by name'
all the bookmarks sorted alphabetically as I wanted...
Closed the Library, pulled down the Bookmarks menu, and the bookmark were unsorted as if I never organized themSorting in the Library is a temporary sort, it resets as soon as you close the Library window.

Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7?? Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen. Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hello, cliffiapp4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding

Every time since I upgraded this morning, attempting to open Aperture causes a crash. I upgraded to Aperture 3.4 this morning, and now it will not open at all! It crashes every time, and tries rebuilding the library and repairing most times. The Library open fine in Iphoto
If you do not have the original install DVDs, use the Aperture Trial installer instead:
Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
