Red-eye not working right

I have a friend who's Macbook is acting a bit weird. In iPhoto 08 if you try to edit the red eye, after a few photos it'll starting doing one eye okay (the left) but then completely miss the other one, putting a black splotch above the eye or to the side of the eye. It's not because of aiming incorrectly.
Also although this isn't the right place to post, iMovie 06 won't let her edit the audio in timeline view. The little markers that enable you to drag the volume down aren't there when you click, for some reason. Not major things but little bugs...
All the latest updates have been installed and I've also done things like deleting the plist and even done an Archive Install for her but iPhoto red eye still doesn't work right. Haven't checked iMovie 06 yet but maybe will tomorrow.

Have you run the latest updates for the iLife 08 apps? If so reinstall iPhoto and update the the lastest, 7.1, followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do you get the auto red eye to work in iphoto when it won't click?

When we are trying to correct the red eye problems from photos taken from my dads Sony point and shoot camera iphoto's automatic red eye option isn't enabled. We tryed to fix this by upgrading to the latest version of iphoto but the problem persists- the autocorrect for the red eye won't click. We are feeling ripped off because it should work. Right?

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 does try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If the red eye correction works OK in the new library do the following on your original library: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Note: the following is for iPhoto 9.4
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 #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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.

Help, my iPod's not working right.

Help. I unfortunately downloaded iOS 6.0 to my iPod touch and now it's not working right. I can't listen to anything in the itunes store and a song I tried to download doesn't work on my iPod, yet it works on my computer. Is there anyway to go back to the old OS system I had before this one? Is this happening to anyone else? What can I do?

You are very welcome!
It would seem that the problem was that you were not logged into your iTunes account on your device, and logging in fixed it.
That is great! You did well in your troubleshooting. I'm glad you got it fixed. Sometimes, just messing around with it, trying to figure it out helps.
As for updating, it would be good to do as I suggested, but I don't know what Apple's next update will hold for our devices. Whether it will fix only some, or all of the problems. So I would say that keeping an eye out, maybe on this forum, for results of the next update, whether or not it helped others, and how much it fixed. It may even take a few more updates for it to come back around to working as it should. Once your device doesn't seem to be full of errors and bugs, (and maybe the Apple forums are full of positive reviews) then you can stop updating. I'm not saying that updates are always bad, it is hard to tell. So if your comfortable with how your device is working, then you can choose to ignore future updates, it's your choice. I don't know when the updates are coming out either, so we are all riding it and seeing how it will turn out.
You can mark this discussion as solved if you want.
If in the future you have some questions, you can dig up your notification emails that were sent to notify you of these posts (if you keep them) and navigate back to this discussion and make a post. Because I am subscribed to this post too, so if you do make a post in this discussion, I will be notified.
I'm glad everything worked out, I am always happy to help.
Thank you for being precise and clear in your questions and results. (And the great grammar, it's so rare!)
Sincerely Lt. Leviathan

Remote not working right

I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right. Some things work fine. Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit). What's wrong?
My second TV set-up is OK.
Solved!

Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?
If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.
You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.
Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.

Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

Is there any way to redownload iOS 5 my iPod touch 4 th generation white 32 gig is not working right?

My iPod is not working right. It's slow and lags and just doesn't work and always exits apps. I was if there was any way to redownload ios5 because it does the same things after I've reset about 4 times. Please help! It's even lagging why I am typing this. The thing that I checked below are all of the things that are not working on my iPod.

You cannot reinstall iOS without doing a restore. But you might first try a software update. If you have iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1, you can update to iOS 5.1 by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

IPad 2 was updated to latest iOS 7 and has been not working right since. I have tried to do a restore but still continues to go into reboot mode by itself and very erratic. Can no longer trust it. I tried to complain to Apple but have to give them 20 buck

iPad has not worked right since it updated to latest software. Tried to question Apple about it but it costs 20 bucks just to lodge a complaint. Is this normal Apple behavior or am I missing something. Also anyone else having issues with upgrade to iOS7. It was working great until that point and now goes into reboot mode often and sometimes will continuously reboot several times. I have tried to restore but that didn't clear the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

HT4623 My iPad mini is not working right ?? On some apps

My iPad mini is not working right on some apps

You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right. On videos or music. There is constant distortion and what sounds like interference. Any ideas?

Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right--on videos or music. There is distortion and some kind of interference at all times. Any ideas?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Scroll-bar STILL not working right in 10.6.1 update

The scroll-bar is STILL NOT working right in the 10.6.1 update. I am not able to click anywhere on the scroll-bar and have the navigation go there. I have to drag the blamed thing where ever I want it to go. This problem only exist with the recent iTunes 10.6.x updates.

I have the new MacBook Pro 2010, Dell 3007WFP. No mirroring problemsat that or higher res. I was chagrined, however, to find out that while my 2007 15" MacBook Pro had no problems driving the Dell 30", the 2010 17" requires the Dual Link cable for $100 extra. ;>(
But it works fine.

NOKIA 202 RED BUTTON NOT WORKING

I JUST TURNED OFF MY PHONE 202 AND after some time i try to switch on that phone but red button not worked and other keybuttons works good and i try flash the phone but it says remove cable and batery and put cable and put batery and power on but funny thing is my red button not worked and i just got dull finally i am asking you guys is there any solution to power on i try almost all key board tricks i.e * 3 gren red etc or a software to power on.MY NOKIA 202 RED BUTTON NOT WORKING

Hi, DEVRAMP. How did you flash your phone? Is there a battery indicator when you charge it? You may try the following solution below:
Check that the keypad is not locked.
Make sure that all keys are responding correctly when they are pressed. In some cases, a key may get stuck and freeze the whole keypad.
Try removing and replacing the covers (if your phone supports that feature). Check that the power and side keys on the cover are properly aligned (e.g. pushed out) to their respective positions to have a proper tactile feel when pressing the keys.
Keep us posted.

Safari 5.1.2 Not working right after install

Hi, after installing the update for Snow Leopard safari is not working right. Some pages don't load, and other don't load correctly.
I have to keep hitting refresh two or three times. Also thunbnails are not displaying. Even the apple page comes up looking buggy.
Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in as yourself. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

Command key not working right in several applications

All of a sudden, some functions are not working right, i.e., in PhotoShop when I select the Zoom key I get a minus rather than the usual plus. In Date and Time, I started getting a 24 hour clock. If I go there in System Prefs and change to 24 hour clock, then the readout on my menu bar is for 12 hour clock. Sometimes when I use Command-Q the machine asks me if I want to close all programs rather than just the one I'm attempting to leave. What is wrong?

Hi n,
I have no idea if this might work, but I'd reset the PRAM and SMC.

LR2 to PS CS3 roundtrip not working right

I am sorry, but from where I am standing Adobe screwed up big.
In the first place, LR 2 is very slow on my MACPRO with 4 gigs, as slow as Aperture 1.5 was and was what made me switch from Aperture to Lightroom.
In the second place, PS roundtrip is not working right. LR2 sends the image to PS when I select edit in, but after I finish with the file in PS and close and save, the new file does not show up in LR 2. It is in the folder but not in the catalog. I either have to re-import the image or sync the folder. On either case, it is not stacked with the original.
What's up??
Is there a setting or something? or just a big screw up from Adobe? Why isn't Adobe addressing this issues in public?

I am having the same problem with lr2. Mine will not round trip. It goes to CS3 but will not come back when saved in CS3. Strange thing is, after having LR2 since day one of release it did round trip a few times yesterday but today it is back to its habit of no round trip.
At times LR2 is slow and the brush tool is mostly unusable since it is so slow. Also sliders are very sticky.
If the Adobe boys and girls can get it working soon LR2 is great and I feel it has increased my quality.
