Preferences problem -- anyone solved this yet?

I have the same problem experienced by several people on the forum: cannot open iPhoto08 preferences. I've tried trashing the plist file, repairing permissions, resetting LaunchServices database (in Onyx 1.8.2), lots of restarts, etc. I also deleted the Flickr export plugin, since that was the only difference between iPhoto on this computer and on my G4 powerbook (iPhoto08 prefs work on the powerbook).
Has anyone solved this problem? IF so, how?

Nevermind, I found it.
For anyone else looking for it, download pacifist at http://www.charlessoft.com/
Put in the Mac OS X Install Disc 1. Then, open pacifist and click "Open Apple Install Packages".
The application is in:
Contents of OSInstall.mpkg
-> Contents of EssentialSystemSoftware
--> Contents of EssentialSystemSoftwareGroup
---> Contents of Essentials.pkg
----> Applications
Right-click (ctrl-click) on "Image Capture.app" and select "Install to Default Location".
You should now see "Image Capture.app" in your Applications folder. Go ahead and open it, go to Preferences, close Preferences, and you should now get the preferences for iPhoto '08.
I've tried it and it works for me as well. Thanks to jhbiddle for pointing me in the right direction and for where to find the "Image Capture.app".

  • Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

    I'm confused. I just got an email from Apple Support Community (updates) and I see that a "baltwo" response is marked "This solved my question" (no offense directed towards baltwo).

I would ask that if anyone knows how to push this issue towards Apple, that is where the solution lies.
    File a bug report with Apple via feedback. Do note that this goes through marketing and sales. No telling when it'll get to engineering. Alternatively, if you want to report this issue directly to Apple's engineering, bypassing marketing and sales, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering and you'll be able to track its status.

         my apple id was disabled, and i reset the password but it still says its disabled. Has anyone solved this problem?

    I solved that particular problem for myself (although I am running iTunes 11 under Snow Leopard on an iMac) by deselecting one of my Users Admin. privs. You see, I had two users w/admin privs & iTunes now plays nicely when there is only one admin.
    Otherwise, I would keep getting stuck in an "infinite loop" of resetting passwords over & over and still iTunes was a mess - albeit on an intermittent basis which was absolutely driving me nuts!
    I also think that firing up Safari and signing into my account @ apple first seems to help; providing that an apple cookie gets placed in my machine before I go to the iTunes store and enjoy surfing around there.
    Anyways, good luck~

  • Can anyone solve this query requirement

    Would like to know if anyone solved this situation in the query before. If yes, or If you have any ideas, could you please share it with me.
    Below is the scenario.
    Cube data: We have a number of 'FACILIIES'. 'Surveys' are conducted for each facility once in every six to 18 months. No fixed time intervals though. And surveys are numbered sequencially, always in the increasing order with respect to time. each survey has a 'survey date'. and a keyfigure 'Count'.

    Dynamically, the latest survey and previous survey has to be determined. Any ideas on how to solve... We alrady thought of making changes to the Survey Master data. Any thing that can be done in the query itself?
    thanks
    Gova
    (I could not improve the display format, so I used '...' to separate the fields. may be SDN should look into improving the display format)

    Hi Gova..
    We too had a similar requirement..to get the previous records..
    We had to end up having to populate the Previous record in a seperate field on the same line..
    I think you are on the right path to modify the master data and have the previous survey and previous count populated on every line..
    Good Luck

  • AV Adapter for IP4 does nothing? Anyone solved this?? Please

    I have just bought a new TV Samsung LED 32" HD 5000 series, which is great. So I thought I'd be able to play video and pictures from my iPhone 4 (4.3.3) with this very expensive adapter and HDMI cable. BUT no.
    The TV simply says no signal. I've tried everything  ( I think ) different HDMI cables, rebooting etc etc
    Nothing.
    Has anyone solved this issue?
    Thanks for any help

    I've worked it out finally. My phone is Jailbroken, so I was hoping to get the phone to mirror on my TV with "display out" from Cydia. It wasn't working. I had a thought that maybe the programme "resupported 4" that allows non apple adapters to work, might have been affecting things. I installed this because I'd originally purchased a non apple adapter.  So uninstalled it and hey presto, all good. Full mirroring is now supported.

  • Has anyone solved this problem?

    My ipod was taking forever on the 'do not disconnect' setting and getting really hot. I left for work and it was still the same when i came in 4 hours later.
    In the end i decided to simply remove the dock from the ipod. When the screen changed it had the notorious folder and ! icon displayed. Now when i attempt to connect to my PC it does the same-takes forever and doesn't actually shows up in itunes (although the usb port recognises it as large storage device).
    All this is accompanied by a constant spinning of the hard drive in the ipod. I know this is a common problem and was wondering if anyone with this problem has solved it without sending it for repair.

    One method is to change to a more reliable firewire connection. Try here:

  • Please can anyone solve this problem...it's taking over my life!!

    Hi, I hope someone can hep me with this as it's driving me crazy!!...I have a magnify glass effect for my main movie and everything is working great, except I need the magnify glass to stay within certain boundaries on the stage...basically when someone moves there mouse away from the flash movie in the centre of the page in a browser, it cuts off the glass and it looks funny (see www.zoeglazebrook.co.uk)...
    Kglad has very kindly donated many hours to trying to solve this but it still isn't working unfortunately.
    This is the code on the main timeline, and I just need to add in 125, 127, 1095, 775 coordinates in there to make it not go past these points on the stage:
    var moveGlass:Number;
    magnifyingGlass.onPress = function() {
        moveGlass = setInterval(startGlass,1);
    function startGlass() {
        magnifyingGlass._x = _root._xmouse;
        magnifyingGlass._y = _root._ymouse;
    magnifyingGlass.onEnterFrame = function(){
         this.largeobject._x = (this._parent.original._x-this._x)*2;
         this.largeobject._y = (this._parent.original._y-this._y)*2;

    I'm not sure I understand your question.
    I think you are asking about how once you start clicking it doesn't go off? You can add something like this:
    magnifyingGlass.onRelease=magnifyingGlass.onReleaseOutside=function(){
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    If I'm following you correctly. Or not.
    I'm actually more annoyed by also having the pointer still show. So you might add a Mouse.hide() when they press and a Mouse.unhide() when they release. BTW, you need the onReleaseOutside because if you are limiting where the magnifying glass can be dragged then the pointer might not be above the glass when they release. Most people forget the onReleaseOutside and it causes a lot of problems.
    Also I'm confused about your confusion of "...whether it's better to have a start drag on there instead."
    startDrag() does just that. It takes the item that is referenced and makes it follow the pointer. And it also gives you an easy way to limit the bounds of that dragging to a rectangle. However you can only drag one thing at a time using startDrag and there is no way to do other things as you drag.
    In this case you need to also reposition the large view at the same time based upon the position of the pointer. Therefore you need some other kind of loop that says, "every little bit of time make the glass match the mouse coordinates and also align the large image." You could probably make some kind of combined solution that starts the magnifying glass moving with startDrag and uses an onEnterFrame to position the large view, but why make it more complex than it needs to be?

    I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
    did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
    What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
    It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
    If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
    Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
    Hope this helps
