Photos show in finder, but won't let me select them...
For some reason I can't access some of my photos - when the finder window opens and I click on Photos, I can see the thumbnail of the picture in iphoto but the file name/number is a light gray color instead of in black. (I did not delete photos). Any ideas?
What Finder window? Are these images in iPhoto?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.

(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

-spweb shows all sites but won't let me access them.
I'm trying to access a document library on a sub site but can't for some reason.
In powershell I enter "Get-SPWeb -Site https://sitename/site/"
It then shows me a list of all the sub sites to "site".
https://sitename/site/a
https://sitename/site/a/a1
https://sitename/site/b
https://sitename/site/b/b1
But if I type in "Get -SPWeb -Site https://sitename/site/a/" it gives me an error as if the site didn't exist.
any ideas?That is because -Site switch is for the Site Collection from which you are asking it to get list of Webs. https://sitename/site/a/ is not a site collection
This should work.
$web = Get -SPWeb "https://sitename/site/a/"

Some photo show as thumbnails but won't open
Some of my photos show up in the thumbnail view but when I attempt to open them they don't show up. I get a greyed dotted line with an ! in the center. They photos are still there because I can open them with Photoshop & Preview. I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and rebuilt the library. All of the photos I was having the problem with didn't rebuild. What do I do now?
Dual 2.7 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) iPhoto 6.0.5Wturning
To set up PS as an external editor, you go to the iPhoto Preferences and in the General Pane, use the drop down menu at Edit Photo: to select Photoshop.
If you do this then when you double click on a pic in iPhoto it will automatically open up in PS, and then when you save it it will be automatically saved back into iPhoto.
I suspect what has happened is that as you've used PS to edit pics by going through the folders you have inadvertently altered things in the iPhoto Library Folder and that consequently iPhoto has lost track of the pics. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
What to do now? I don't think you'll be able to return the iPhoto Library Folder to it's original condition, so I'm afraid you'll need to create and repopulate a new library. To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find there the Originals folder. From there drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Never changes things via the Finder. Everything you need to do can be done from the iPhoto Window. For instance, if you want to get to the files, you do this via the iPhoto Window, using one of these three methods
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Everything you need to do can be done from the iPhoto Window. If you need help achieving something, by all means post again.

problem started when i moved my whole photo library to an external. FCPX wouldn't see it, so I moved it back- to the original spot/. And still fcpx wouldn't relink. So i started to 'rebuild' my movie and drag movie clips again into the timeline but it won't let me (tho it 'see's the clips when i click on 'camera' icon).
It allows me to drag in the original pics (jpegs) but not any of the movies ...arghhh pls help thx!!!!What version are you using with 10.8.5? Why did you import video into iPhoto? What are the complete specs of the video files? Are they in formats that are compatible with FCP?

Bought slideshow songs but won't let me use them for that
I bought an album for use with power point presentations but itunes won't let me convert the files so I can use them for the exact purpose I purchased them. I don't want to do anything illegal...just use the songs for the correct purpose.
You'll have to burn a CD of the songs and then reimport them to use them in a program other than iTunes.

This is in iPhoto 11. Mac OS X 10.7.1
The pictures are visible, but can't do anything with them. No printing or editing and I looked under the info and it doesn't give me any clues. When and how did that happen?As we can't see your machine we have no idea why this happened.
Time Machine can back up material on external drives.
No idea why rebuilding "isn't an option" in your case.
You might want to reconsider your back up routine. You don't need Library Manager to duplicate your Library, you can simply use the Finder for that.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate -

I just purchased and IPod Shuffle (4th gen.) and can't get it running. I have gone through all of the help available. It shows up in my device manager, but needs a USB driver. It will find it online, but says an error has occurred and access is denied instead of installing. I bought this for a last minute trip with teenagers and I have spent hours on this. I am running Windows 7 and have tried disabling the firewall.
Help, please.Hello, kcanole.

I've been making my iTunes music purchases on my iPhone for over a year now. I bought a new one so I relied on iCloud to keep my purchases on record. When downloading my songs, I saw that some of them were missing. When I logged into the iTunes store, it said that the albums (yes entire albums are missing) have been "PURCHASED", therefore I can't buy them again. And they don't have that iCloud icon on them to download them (since I have already purchased them). I checked my iTunes account on both my PC and my iPhone and still nothing. These aren't old purchases, but ones that I made a few months ago. Can anyone help me get my music back??
If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

I just got an Itunes giftcard and scratched off to get the code and thought I had redeemed it but went to get songs and it takes me back to the redeemed part and it says it is already redeemed but I can't buy the songs weird! help!
You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
Free music downloads, but won't let me get them
I have never tried to get any of the free downloads before tonight, and when I try, but clicking on Get Free Download , the window pops up for me to buy them, then another window telling me that they are not available for purchase!
How do you get the freebies?
I am using 8.0.1I get them all the time without any problem. But, I think there is something wrong with the iTunes Store tonight. Normally, the freebies are free. Tonight, the store wants to charge for them. Wait until tomorrow and try again.

I have installed elements 1`3 from a disc and cannot expand a version set. Help?
This is PSE 13? If so, it's not a bug, it's a feature. The new adaptive grid view in the organizer, where you see the thumbnails edge-to-edge, doesn't do stacks or version sets. Press. Ctrl+D/Command+D to get back to the old detail view instead.

My ipod touch downloads songs but won't let me select one
My Ipod touch will download songs. When I go to music to select a song all entries are grayed out and will not allow me to select one. What do I need to do to change this so the songs are available to be selected?
To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size. Thus you need abut 4.5 GB free storage space on the iPod which you do not have.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
