Photos gone. I don't even know how to ask my question.

My photos are not visible when I opened iPhoto. All the albums I created and the titles I gave the photos are gone. The Last Import has 2 photos I scanned 18 months ago. I have an iMac 10.5.8 and iPhoto and iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. I know I'm probably not asking the question correctly because I do not even understand how iPhoto really workds or what it is. I just want to know where my photos and all the sorting I did is.

The point is with iPhoto it's so search to tag, group and find specific photos. Terence Devlin posted the most succinct description of how to use iPhoto to manage photos. The following if from this topic: Better way to organize my images?: Apple Support Communities
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organization is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
If you're rather manage files in folders then iPhoto is not for you.

I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the warrenty cover it?

HT4436 Is there a way to connect my iCloud acct. so that my regular email address is my user name instead of the .me email address? I don't even know how to access my very old .me address.

Anyone know if you can replace your .me email address for your regular email address? I'm trying to set up my iCloud acct. on my iPhone but the default email adddress is my .me email which I never used and do not know the password for. When I use the Forgot Password link, it sends to my .me email address
and I never used it and don't know how to access that address. Arg. Anyway to clean slate and permanently eliminate the .me thing?

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

New to BlackBerry - don't even know how to get internet! Please help!

That is half a lie - I have successfully connected to the internet using wi-fi, but I want to connect using the BlackBerry browser (if that's what it's called), or Orange World (I am with the network Orange in the UK).
So - I have no idea how to do this. I got my 8900 this morning, and the salesman assured me that I could have unlimited time and usage of the internet basically wherever and whenever I want. But I have no idea to get onto it! I have no icons which lead to this browser - the only internet I get connected to is a wi-fi one.
Do you have any advice on where to start? If you do not know what to do, do you think it would be better to contact BlackBerry or my network provider Orange?
Many thanks.

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums. The 8900 is a great device.
You need THE BlackBerry Data Plan on your account tariff from Orange. Did you get that put on when you bought the device?
If not, call them and have it done.

1120 error, I don't even know how this is possible-

Lines that matter:
import flash.errors.IOError;
import flash.errors.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(fileUrl));
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
fileUrl is, what do you know, a variable with the location of a (XML) file in it.
errorHandler… handles errors.
The point is that I get this:
1120: Access of undefined property IOErrorEvent.
IOErrorEvent isn't a property. IO_ERROR is a static method of IOErrorEvent, so I have no idea why I even get that error! What really confuses me is that these lines are from an application that does not display the error (came with a book).
Any help?
And yeah, I know the answer is obviously going to be something trivial, so sorry about how lame this question is.

The error is basically saying that the compiler couldn't find a class definition for IOErrorEvent, so it doesn't know that you are referencing a class. For all that the compiler knows, it could be a property with capital first letter

Don't even know how to describe this... Please tell me whats wrong!

Yesterday, my Macbook shut off because of no power. I turned it back on about 20 mins later and my clock was wrong. I opened it and had to manually change the time from Dec 31, 2000 7 pm to current date and time. Next I noticed that Safari and FireFox were acting me for verification all the time on webpages. The biggest problem is that my Coursesmart app showed that one of my books was expired on 7-17-11, which isn't here yet. I tried to go to the website through the app and it said the certificate was not valid and that the website i was trying to go to might be fake. I talked to coursesmart up to the top techs, did some things with the computer like uninstall, update, keys,. they couldn't figure it out. I figured out that all of my certificates for anything are gone. I went through the key and found the area that says what my certificates are. Its like my computer has gone back and lost all of its information. Some websites are not working, passwords are not working, and its lagging sometimes. I can't timewarp my computer because it was never turned on. Please tell me whats wrong!

The abnormal shutdown most likely resulted in corrupted files. Start with this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If this doesn't work (probably won't) then backup your files and reinstall OS X. The SL installer will not erase the drive but will install a new copy of OS X then transfer all your files and applications into the new system.

I don't even know how to center one item in one wiondow. HELP!

OK, I can't even do the simplest layout in the whole Universe work with Java:
Centering one component like a button or a label centered vertically and horizontally.
Can somebody show me how to accomplish what I want with the follwing program?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class Sheep000a extends Applet
implements ActionListener {
    int sheepNum;
    Button button1;
    Panel panel1;
    public void init() {
        panel1 = new Panel();
        panel1.setBackground(new Color(0,255,255));
        setBackground(new Color(0,255,255));
        button1= new Button("Hi, I'm a Java Button. Do you see me?");
        panel1.add(button1);
        add(panel1);
        button1.addActionListener(this);
        resize(500,300);;
        setVisible(true);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
}As it is, the button is centered horizontally, but not vertically. I want it centered even when the window is resized.

panel1.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
you'd have to read some articles about layout
management in swingHmm . . . I've browsed through sections on layout. I just can't get things work.
I cahnged my program to the following per your sugestion:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class Sheep000b extends Applet
implements ActionListener {
    int sheepNum;
    Button button1;
    Panel panel1;
    public void init() {
        panel1 = new Panel();
        panel1.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        panel1.setBackground(new Color(0,255,255));
        setBackground(new Color(0,255,255));
        button1= new Button("Hi, I'm a Java Button. Do you see me?");
        panel1.add(button1);
//      panel1.add(button1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        add(panel1);
        button1.addActionListener(this);
        resize(500,300);
        setVisible(true);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
}It compiles but the button is still at the top.
Changing panel1.add(button1);
to the one below doesn't make any difference.
resize(500,300) does not work anymore either.
Is this my computer specific problem?

Please help How do I get rid of funtools? it seems to have taken over my home page and although i have tried to delete it from programmes etc it still keeps popping up. I don't even know how it got here!!!!

I'm sorry I don't have any information it just appeared on here yesterday. Possibly one of the kids downloaded something or my fella. I have removed the toolbars but it still keeps popping up and I get other pop ups although they are disabled. I am not very computer minded/technical, so any help is appreciated.

go to Fireofx>Addon>Extension and check if any unknown toolbar are installed or not

I don't know how to ask this question... Can you help?

I'll state right from the get-go, this is NOT a Premiere problem. This is a Windows problem, but I don't know exactly what it is.
Why I'm I posting it here? It's in Premiere that I notice it the most.
I can be watching my playback in Premiere fine and then all the sudden, my playback will stop. At first I thought it was a bug in Premiere, but then I notcied it happening in AE and other non-Adobe programs.
The computer is acting like I clicked away from Premiere, like on the desktop. Playback stops and then I have to click my Premeire window again to make it active and then play again.
This happens every 5 minutes or so (haven't timed it).
When it clicks itself out, it doesn't really go anywhere that I can tell, but something is definitely making my active window/program become inactive.
I'm not sure how to even phrase this question since I don't know what is really going on. But it's driving me crazy in Premiere as I'm in it about 15 hours a day. So it's happening, as you can imagine, 5-10 times an hour during my playack.
In fact, just at this very moment it did it again while writing here. My Chrome page became inactive and I had to reclick right here to continue writing.
Any suggestions on where to even start?
I've had probably 50 computers since Windows 98 and I've never seen this before.

If it happens at regularly timed intervals of user input inactivity,
I would suspect a power option trying to spin down a drive
or blank the display.
I would start 'GodMode' and check all of the power options.
Create a new folder, and give it this exact name:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

(notation) dont know how to ask this question , but here we go

How do i change the tempo of a song without adjusting the actual tempo?
heres why:
im composing songs in a tempo that sounds great by ear, but i need to decrease each value of each note in half so it can be in a 1/2 time tempo for my musicians to read easier.
if the song sounds great at 100bpm, i want to compose it at 50bpm, so theres not that many rests, and other values harder to read.
the only reason i need to do this is to make it easy to read for my readers, and remember , i can't read notation, just "midi blocks".
sorry about the vague explanation, i just dont have the theory.

Musical scores (which I assume you mean) don't work like that.
There is no 'tempo' value like BPM.
You just play the notes faster or slower - the time notation in musical scores has nothing to do with the 'speed' of the piece. It just tells the musician the 'type' of rhythm or pulse of each bar/section.
This really isn't the place to go into Musical Score theory, but what you are asking doesn;t make any sense because you are comparing apples with pencils.
What I think you are asking is that once you have composed your BPM arrangement then you convert this to a musical notation and that is where your problem is?
If so, and again I am no expert, then simply reduce the BPm of the arrangement and then use the notation from that. Perhaps someone else understand what he is trying to do. After all if you are reading notation, that is all you are doing, reading notation. It's like a book with words, you can read them as slow or as fast as you like. There are no rules except the grammar and that is what the 'time signature' and notation is, just grammar.
Does that make sense or have i really missed the boat here?

HT3702 Yikes! My eight year old purchased some aps from iTunes and it comes to $130! How can I get these taken off? I don't even know what they are?

My eight year old was on my iPad and bought $130 worth of apps. How do I get these reimbursed? I don't even know what they are????

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
While I agree that it would be nice if it was easier to transfer media from your Apple devices they should never be used as the sole location for any of your media. They are too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. The user tip above also includes a link to a suggested library backup strategy so that you can avoid being in the same position in future.

Basic How to Question: Don't even know where to start

I have a graphic taking up 1/8 of the size of a solid band of colour in a web banner. I want to take one edge of the shape of the graphic and do a kind of gradient blend but not of the colour, of the shape. Kind of like a ladder with the steps getting smaller, evenly or smoothly to solid colour.
I've tried searching for tutorials but don't even know what it might be called or what particular tools to use. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks
Martin

Search for blends. If you want the color to not change then both object will have to be the same color. The blend effects the stroke as well, so if you want it to be smooth, give the stroke no color.

I have a ipod touch 4gen and whenever i sync it, i just lose all my memory... and im also trying to restore my memory but don't really know how... how do i do it?

i have a ipod touch 4gen and whenever i sync it, i just lose all my memory... and im also trying to restore my memory but don't really know how... how do i do it?

Only sync chosen songs. Even with that I had a bad song once that was corrupted and it blew the ipod touch's mind. Can't remember how I found the song, but deleted it off the computer and was able to get a fresh copy off this quite old CD. Also, settings-general-usage, you can see which files are gathering up in your memory. There are some surprisingly large programs.

Photos gone. I don't even know how to ask my question.
