PLaces is wrong! PLaces I've never been to!

New install of iPhoto 11, has placed iPhone photos taken in Florida, in "Wise River".
Most of the other photos taken by the same iPhone in the same place put them in the right place.
Any ideas how I can correct this, and why Apple seems to have got the basics so horribly wrong with this beta app?
Would appreciate some help with this,
Cheers

1= What a shame that this normally helpful and positively spirited amenity (Apple Discussions) is so very often spoiled by the abject negative and supersilious bile from some individuals?

For your extra information, and I assume this will be filtered by your own bias, there IS, whether you like it or not - a lot of discomfort around many of the changes that have been made to iPhoto 11. I'll not trouble you with a list of them which are plastered all over Apple Discussions and elsewhere, but they are there and need to be addressed. Suffice to say, those negative changes have rendered the program to have a feel of "not really well thought through". A little bit like the first response to my original post.
Now, if anyone has a constructive answer to my original post, I'd be delighted to hear it.

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

I have been editing project for two weeks and now I get ghosts of other images fromt eh project coming up in the wrong places even though the thumbnail looks right. Help.

Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.

When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

GPS apps take me to a place I've never been

When I've got crappy accuracy (most of the time) any GPS based app will take me to a place about 5 miles from my house that I've never been to in my life. Ever. It's the same place and every GPS app shows me in this spot. Some of the apps that have exhibited this behavior are: Google Map, Trails, EveryTrail, MotionX GPS, and on and on. Since this occurs in all apps I've pretty much determined that it's a hardware issue. I was really hoping that a reset of my 3GS would cure this problem but no.
I updated to iOS 4 and that went well. I thought maybe that would do the trick but no joy there either.
This is really frustrating because I use my iPhone and Trails app to log and keep track of my daily walk/runs. In the middle of a run the GPS accuracy will go in the crapper and I'll all of the sudden be transported (in the app) to this phantom spot about 5 miles away from where I'm at adding, you guessed it, 5 miles to my walk/run.
I really want to get rid of this spot. Is there anyway for me to get rid of it? Is there a setting that controls this? Why does my phone insist on showing me this spot and claiming I'm there when GPS accuracy *****? As I've said, I've never been to this place!
Thanks in advance for any help.
Joe

Initially, this sounds more of an environmental issue than a hardware.
A couple of things to ask..
Does the glitch only happen in your area? If you go for a drive 50 or 100kms away and use it in that area, does the location go off somewhere in that area too and put show you in a strange place after a period of time? Or does this issue seem to only happen in your area?
Also when it goes off to this other place, if you do nothing and just keep walking, running or what ever you are doing, does it eventually find you again in the correct location?
I'm wondering if you are a getting a conflict between the GPS location and the Cell Tower/WiFi locations when you are in a certain place and one overrides the other.

Why does Frequent Locations log places I've never been to?

I've gone in to check the history of the Frequent Locations and I noticed it has logged places that I have never been to or on days I know I have never been there. Why or how does it store these locations when I know for a fact I was just sitting on my couch at home at the date and time it shows me on the other side of town?

IPhoto - My iPhoto is not responding. When I click on iPhoto I get a never ending spinning beachball. I almost think it is looking in the wrong place for the pictures. How do I redirect it back to the Mac hard drive?

My iPhoto is not responding. Whenever I click on the iPhoto icon I get a twirling beachball. It is as if the machine is looking in the wrong place for the photos. How can I see where the machine is looking to find out if this is really the problem. How can I see the path?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library.
If that's the case Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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.

Yosemite Safari - bookmark add button is in the wrong place !

Dear Apple just FYI.
The 'add book mark' The small 'plus' symbol at the far lefthand edge of Safari browser window, its in the wrong position. So many errors/mistakes (wrong add book mark) for just going to type in window, one accidentally hits this 'plus' symbol.
Jp

Hi Dominic23, I think you misread the post - I'm saying the 'Bookmark' Plus sign has been positioned in the wrong place within browser bar. In his position I seem to hit this plus sign inadvertently almost every other time I go to use the browser field / type web address or search. (In the new Yosemite Safari).
Best Jp

What If The repeat is in the wrong place

Just want to share my first panic moment...
This is a stupid question but I like to know the best way to handle this.
It was my first panic moment because I had never seen this before.
This weekend I was testing some scripts with a loop (repeat action)
The script had to make a new text edit document, and some more tasks...
But I placed the repeat at the wrong place so when running the script...
I had in no time 300 documents and keep counting... So the repeat was wrong...
and the script keep running and running.... panic... How do I stop this ?...
So I force quit text editor. but the script(activate text edit) and keep on running... I had so many files open on top the system almost crashes...
The only solution I had was shut down..
And hoping the script doesn't start over...
ok.. didn't continue... fiew.
Did some changes and had to run it again... (Hoping that it will work)
almost ready... one more shut down. (again many files...)
So after the last changes the script works perfect but I want to know how I do this in the future when testing something like this...
When A script keep running.
What is the most elegant way to stop this?
thanks.

Command-. is the standard method to stop a process.
This may not work if your script first sets TextEdit to the active app (via an activate command) because that would send the Command-. to TextEdit, not to the script.
If that were the case then you would first have to activate the Script Editor (or wherever you ran the script). If the activate command was within the loop then that might silll fail because it would switch back to TextEdit before you had a chance to stop the script.
If all else fails, Ctrl-click on the Script Editor's icon in the dock and choose 'Quit'. This should send a signal to the app to stop processing (hopefully offering you a chance to save your script). At that point you can quit or not - the script has stopped running which is the main point.
If that still doesn't work, then you may have to force quit Script Editor, losing any unsaved edits to your script, but it wouldn't be as harsh as a forced shutdown of the whole machine.

Pacman looking for pacman.conf in the wrong place?

When using yaourt, I had been getting an error message to do with pacman.conf not being found. I fixed this by creating my own and saving it in
/usr/local/etc/pacman.conf
(it's the only file in /usr/local/etc)
I then got the error message:
failed to initialize alpm library (could not find or read directory)
After some googling and learning about the find command, I found the following files:
/usr/lib/libalpm.so
/usr/lib/libalpm.so.8
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libalpm.pc
/usr/lib/libalpm.so.8.0.2
So I'm guessing that I do have the alpm library, but pacman (or Yaourt?) isn't finding it.
Further use of 'find' found the following versions of pacman:
/usr/local/etc/pacman.conf
/etc/pacman.conf
Which then lead me to believe that I have the necessary files but they are in the wrong place or there is a config file (or something) that I need to alter.
Any ideas what I've done wrong and how to correct it?
Thanks, James

I've just tried
pacman -S man-pages
as a test, and it worked ok.
So, Bug Wrangler is probably right. Any ideas how I fix it, or is the solution to start again? If I need to start again, is there an easy way to remove yaourt?

Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
or <br />
right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

Pretend I know nothing about this topic, because I DON'T, and help me figure out how to format bullets in 'Pages' for IPad. I turned them on somehow, and now can't turn them off, and they are popping up in all the wrong places

I think I effectively proved my point about knowing nothing about this, by posting my whole question in the title. To review, I have a 1 year old iPad, and have Pages on it for a word processing program. I somehow turned on bullets on one of my documents and can't figure out how to stop it, and they are in all the wrong places. How do I turn it off?

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

Export to PDF puts trims in wrong place.

When I export a pdf from CS3, selecting crop marks puts the trim marks in the wrong place, we are only talking 0.25 of a millimeter, but this is causing us problems sending files to publication. It seems to us that the crop marks are being made too long and this is causing everything to shift.
A A4 page with a 5mm bleed and 5mm crop marks comes out as 230.6 x 317.6.
If I print the page and select a custom size, InDesign is also giving to wrong size.
The same error occurs in CS2 and CS4.
Has anyone else come across this?
If I make the file without crop marks everything is ok.

I have found a solution, use a mrk file as this link

JWS requests jar files at the wrong place

Hi all,
I created JWS project with netbeans, and by deafult, NB places all required jar files in the "lib" folder. NB also created jnlp file with correct paths to required files. It looks like this
<update check="always" policy="always"/>
<resources>
<jar download="eager" href="main.jar" main="true"/>
<jar download="eager" href="lib/required.jar" main="false"/>
</resources> Now, when app is started, required.jar is correctly located at lib folder and application works, but from that moment on, JWS makes hundreds of request for "${codebase}/required.jar" (obviously wrong place) and gets 404 responses. It keeps making these requests as long as app is running and this slows down application significantly.
My temp workaround was to move required.jar to codebase root and problem is gone, but i still find it weird. I guess this may explain some complaints about slow JWS.
Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can check?
Thanks!

I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties, am I looking in the wrong place?

I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 w/1315 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties, am I looking in the wrong place?
I have LabVIEW Express 7.0 Professional - SCXI-1000 Chassiss - along with SCXI-1112, and SCXI 1520/1314 - cable to the PCI-6052E is attached to the 1520 card.
MAX says it recognizes all the cards in the chassiss.

Jeremy, Thanks for the reply.
I tried to set up the system as DAQmx.
I had MAX auto-detect the set-up - and it recognized all the cards - but did not select the 1315 accessory on the 1540 card - I had to do that manually - but in the configuration section I would select the accessory and it would deselect itself. I had to get out of the set-up and then right click on the 1540 card and click on the "Accessories" tab and select the 1315 terminal block that way.
It didn't seem right that the system should behave that way, but I pressed onward.
I then tried to create a new DAQmx Task
When I create new DAQmx task and then click on Analog Input no "Position" Tab appears for me to select, all I get are:
Analog>>Voltage
Analog>>Temperature
Ana
log>>Strain
Analog>>Current
Analog>>Resistance
Analog>>Frequency
Analog>>Custom Voltage with Excitation
Do you think there might be something wrong with either my hardware or perhaps my configuration that is not allowing it to recognize the 1540/1315 in DAQmx?
I had included the system report of what programs I am using, etc. as attached file nireport.txt
After the DAQmx did not work I tried installing everything as Traditional DAQ and it did let me set-up the 1540 Card with Excitation Voltage and Frequency and gain - I then went in to the VI that I had built and tried to use the Express DAQ Assisant to read the channel that I am connected to on the 1315/1540 - when I try to use DAQ Assistant it gives me an error saying that "Device not available in NI-DAQmx. It is possible that the device is being use by traditional NI-DAQ"
Which I guess it is since both configurations are now set-up in MAX.
I would PREFER to use the DAQmx set-up, but I am confused as to WHY it won
't come up with
Analog input>>POSITION>>LVDT
When I try to create a new DAQmx task.
Thanks for the help so far! As you can probably tell I am new at this.

Drawing in wrong place

Hello,
I have a JFrame with a few text areas. When you click on text area a black border appears. and WHen you click it again, it dissappears. I am putting this code in mouseClicked() method. I am using g.drawRect to draw the border and to specify the location, I use getLocationOnScreen.
The border does work as it should. However, if I move the JFrame. NExt time I click on the textarea, the rectangle is drawn in wrong place. Any suggestions how I can solve this problem?
Of course, the program I am writing is not as trivial as this, but this is my problem. I am basically trying to let the user know which text area is selected.
Thanks!

In the interest of simplicity I didn't limit the selection to three.import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test extends JFrame {
public Test() {
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    Container content = getContentPane();
    content.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints(0,0,1,1,1.0,1.0,
            GridBagConstraints.CENTER, GridBagConstraints.BOTH,
            new Insets(1,1,1,1),0,0);
    for (int i=0; i<7; i++) {
      gbc.gridx=i%2;
      gbc.gridy=i/2;
      content.add(new JScrollPane(new MyTextArea("TA-"+i)),gbc);
    setSize(300,300);
    show();
public static void main(String args[]) { new Test(); }
class MyTextArea extends JPanel {
JCheckBox jcb = new JCheckBox();
JTextArea jta = new JTextArea();
public MyTextArea(String Text) {
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    jta.setLineWrap(true);
    jta.setWrapStyleWord(true);
    add(new JScrollPane(jta),BorderLayout.CENTER);
    jcb.setText(Text);
    add(jcb,BorderLayout.NORTH);
public void addActionListener(ActionListener al) {
    jcb.addActionListener(al);
public void setText(String text) { jcb.setText(text); }
public String getText() { return jcb.getText(); }
}

PLaces is wrong! PLaces I've never been to!
