I migrated everthing from my Powerbook G4 to a powerMacg4.
Exactly how did you do this?
My iPhoto library has nothing in it.
Are you seeing this in the finder, in iPhoto, how?
So I downloaded my iLife05 disc, then was able to access my photos from Preview. I
Any more information here? your photos are totally separate form the iPhoto program on the iLife 5 disk and installing/reinstalling iPhoto does not in any way affect what Preview can see.
tried importing them to the iPhoto library.
Where are they? How did you try to import them? what happened?
Now I can't open them ANYWHERE.
Again - tell us as much as you can about what you have done and what you are seeing now and we will try to assist

Please help: Can't access your microphone and soun...

Dear all,
I think this question have been surfaced many times, but after searching for answers sometime, I just have to post again. So bear with me.
Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220s
Purchase date: October 2011
Description: Laptop
Audio: Internal Microphone (Conexant 20671 SmartAudio HD)
Speaker: Speakers (Conexant 20671 SmartAudio HD)
- In English, that is the internal speaker.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premier 64 bit
Skype: 5.5.0.124
- In English, that is the most up to dated version
When I try to call the Echo / Sound Test, after hearing the lady says hello, I see a message box comes up:
Microphone tab has a red exclamation mark.
Speaker tab has a read exclamation mark.
In each tab, there is "Can't access your sound card" message. Sometime I see another small box at the bottom right saying "No microphone detected."
What I have done
1) Tools -> Options -> General -> Audio settings
For Microphone and Speakers, I have uncheck the auto adjust settings.
Restart Skype. Do the "Echo / sound test" and same thing. No detection.
2) Edit AppData\Skype\shared.xml
[ Edit: It seems like the editor here does not like the percent sign before and after the AppData.]
a) I make sure the line AGC XML tag has a value of zero (0).
b) I make sure the MicVolume tag is just 100.
Restart Skype. Same thing. Not working.
3) Test out speaker and microphone in the Skype welcome screen.
The speaker always works.
The test on microphone works sometime and does not work sometime.
Help please! I have less than 24 hours to make a very important call over Skype!

I solve the issue. After I have updated the system using Lenovo's own software update, the microphone works! I hate it. I think I have run many many times the Windows update but it does not pick up the Lenovo software.
So solution: Always update your computer system software. If it is a laptop, be sure to use it's own software updater!

Please Help: Can't Access iTunes Store? What is Wrong?

Hi there - please help!
Since downloading the latest iTunes update I get the following error message every time I click on my iTunes Store:
'ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE ITUNES STORE. THE NETWORK CONNECTION WAS REFUSED.
MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS ARE CORRECT AND YOUR CONNECTION IS ACTIVE, THEN TRY AGAIN'
(Message in not in capitals, obviously)
But.... my network settings are correct (I think - what does this mean?!) - and the connection works fine.
What could be wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? And how would I fix it? Please advise - thank you!

Are you running Norton Internet Security or anything similar? There have been reports that Norton and similar firewall products treat an upgrade as a new application and so you have to go in and reallow connections for iTunes. Check the settings and if necessary remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes (consult your privacy filter's documentation for the appropriate procedure). You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Help: can't access certain photo files from iPhoto without going via Finder

I have posted a number of files containing jpg photos and whilst I can see them in Finder they are not visible in iPhoto or indeed any other applications making it impossible to import photos into other applications (such as iWeb). I can of course do it manually (copy and paste) but cannot integrate photos as part of web page. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
What do you see when you open try to open the files in iPhoto?
Do you see a !
IF so:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders 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 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.

I can't access my photos in camera roll.

I can't access my photos in camera roll. It just shows blank boxes instead of the images. When I click 'edit', I can see the image but it won't save, email, sms or anything. If I click on a video, it kicks me out back to home screen. Any ideas what to do?

I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

Can't Access Aperture Photos from Other Applications

I am using the trial version of Aperture. I can't access the photos in Aperture from Photoshop, Word or any other application (except Mail). I can see the icon for Aperture and the words "Aperture 3 Trial Library" but it is grayed out. Is there a setting or what? I have Snow Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6.5.

I guess one thing that bothers me about all my pictures being "bundled" in iPhoto or Aperture is that they don't show up in the Finder.
This is a real non-issue. A Package is simply a folder that looks like a file. Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library or the Aperture Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
See? There are all your files, in folders.
Why are they Packaged? Because if you move, rename, or alter them then you will corrupt your Library. So it's a simple protection for the structure of the Library. That's all. No big secret.
But there are other things you need to consider too.
Supposing you want to attach a file to an Email in Aperture. Presumably you want to send the edited file of your photo. So, how do you do that +when there is no edited file+? Aperture doesn't actually edit the file at all it simply records the decisions you have taken and shows them to live when you view the pic. All your edits are "virtual". So, the fact that your original files are stored out the the package will be no help to you at all.
iPhoto is pretty much the same - though the details are different.
So, you have to use the applications when you want to access the files for whatever reason - editing, printing, sharing, whatever. That's the point of these apps. They are your Photo Manager, what AddressBook is to your Contacts, iTunes is to your Music and so on.
Here's a macro I use for when these questions come up on the iPhoto Forum. Most - if not all - of these will also work for Aperture:
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.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*_(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!
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto or Aperture
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 or Aperture 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.
*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. This produces, producing a copy.

I have just replaced my hard drive and downloaded Yosemite and now I can't access my photos from my external hard drive

II've just replaced my internal hard drive for my desktop because it failed And installed Yosemite. I had an external hard drive but it had Mavericks and now I can't access my old iPhoto. What can I do?

backup your iPhoto and install iPhoto 9.6 - if you had iPhoto '08 or earlier then you need to download and run the iPhoto library before launch iPhoto 9.6
If that does not help then you actually need to tell us information and details - like version of iPhoto. exactly why you can not access your photos and any message you got

Can't access any photos in Lr after upgrade from Lr5 to Lr5.3.

Just upgraded from Lr5 to Lr5.3. Now can't access any photos in Lr. I suspect a catalogue issue. Any suggestions?

"can't access" ??
By what method are you trying to access these photos? What module of Lightroom are you in when you try this? What exact steps in Lightroom are you using ... please use the Lightroom name of the steps, as technically there is no step called "access", so I honestly have no idea what the step is that you are trying. What happens when you try to "access" the photos? Is there an error message?

I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'( Apple Service Center or Branch can help?

Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

Since the update, I can't access my photo albums, suggestions ? Also when I get reminders, they come in 2's . Frustrating.

Where are my devices? I can't access phone/photo cards or card reader.

All of a sudden, card readers, my phonev card and cards from my camera do not show on my apple home page. I can not access any photos. My only option is to download to my husband's and use a flash drive. What

Thank you for your prompt reply!
I was afraid you were going to tell me to do a hard reset! Unfortunately, I've never hot sync this phone before (I don't use it as a palm, only as a phone and occasionally play some of the games) so I don't have the program on my computer to back up my data. Given that I'm traveling (and never anticipated something like this) I did not bring the CD or the wire. Someone is in the process of mailing them to me.
In the meantime, you mentioned checking the memory? Although I don't think I'm short on memory space given that I don't really "save" anything on this device, I am desperate enough to try anything while waiting for the software to arrive. How do I go about checking the memory?
Once again thank you so much for your help.

Please help: Can't download itunes with windows 7 (64 bit). Keeps freezing at 99%

I have tried deleting and re-installing itunes and quicktime but it still won't work. Please help.

Can someone please respond to my request for support? I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783 but it did not work.
I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

New phone: lost old phone in a fire. How can I access my photos on iCloud from my old phone? In settings I see the storage for BOTH phones. They are separate but same account. Can I access iCloud through PC or is the info now useless since phone is gone?

What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!
