Remove dots on a dark background photo? Please help!
Hello,
I'm a newbie! I'm desperately trying to make a slideshow of my daughter's wedding to show at her reception next week. I have Iphoto 8 and the newest Aperture and also Photoshop ELements 4. I'm using an Apple I Mac. I have a couple questions:
1 - How do remove red spots that are all over an old photo? It has a very dark background. I've played ith the Healing brushes and Paintbrushes. But no success.
2 - Workflow? The photos are imported into the Aperture Library. I have iMovie8 and Final Cut and iDVD. In what order would it be easiest to put the slideshow together?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Terri

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you post the photo so we can see what you're dealing with? If you have a .Mac account you can put a small version of it in the iDisk Pictures folder and then post a text like like the following:
<*a href="http://homepage.mac.com/AccountName/.Pictures/FileName" target="_blank">TEXT<*/a>
except remove the asterisks (*) as they were added so the code would show as text.
I've found that iPhoto's Retouch tool does a very good job of getting rid of blemishes on a photo. You might try that.
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 created 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.

If you Restore using last computer you synced to the password will be removed and you can restore the last backup on your computer, which includes your camera roll.
If you enabled Photo Stream in iCloud your photos are in Photo Stream.
If you had installed one of the many apps that can upload photos to a photo sharing site and had used it you will have your photos.
If you have done none of these things you are out of luck. The phone comes with many tools to preserve content, but you have to use them. -

Hi Beharley,
try resetting your network settings: Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings. This works fine if something is messed up with your carrier bundle.

during restore of my backup on iphone 5s i saw my photos and videos get doubled on ios 8.0 and moreover
if i use to go at my computer and then open my iphone and in folder i see some files name local disk and my photos
please help my memory doubles.I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure. -
my new iphone 5s is locked with 'Restore failed'. i have pressed the sleep button togther with the radial button the fron to restore but nothing happens except it clikc to take a photo. please help soooo fustrated?
What is the error number in the error message? To reset the phone you must press and HOLD both buttons for at least 10 seconds, and longer until an Apple logo appears.

My music on my iphone 5 is messed up. The pictures for the song album are on the wrong songs like the cover for drop it like its hot is on the cover for dark horse! Please help!!!
Hello TheGyzmo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It looks like your might have signed up for iTunes Match.
Good to know
When you enable iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when you add an iOS device to iTunes Match, the option to download over a cellular network isn't enabled1. To enable downloading over a cellular network for iTunes Match, choose Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On.
When you use iTunes Match on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC, it will be associated with the Apple ID you use for iTunes Match. Learn more about subscribing to iTunes Match.
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

What I suggest is that you move your music from your old laptop to your new one by following the steps below:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
After that, you can then add iTunes match on your computer, or turn off iTunes Match on your iPhone, and then sync your iPhone as you would normally with your new computer.

Hello,
I have been using CS5 for about 2 years now and suddenly it started acting up. I do a lot of gradient fading on band photos, i.e fading them into one another. I am a novice at best, but I have a working knowledge of the program. a few weeks ago my gradients started acting goofy. Normally, I could take a photo, fade the edges out to transparent multiple times on the same mask. I.e I could open a layer mask, make all the fades I wanted, and then move on to the next photo. Now, I make a fade, then when I try to make a second, it removes the first.
This same thing happened to me a few months ago but I can't remember how I fixed it. I have scoured google and gone on an endless search of people having this issue and being told to use other tools, other methods, etc. I know what I am trying to do (and have successfully done it for 2 years) for whatever reason something is tweaked, or a setting changed that won't allow me to. I have reset the gradients, followed the hard key preferences reset procedure, and even completely uninstalled the program from my rig and re-installed. Nothing has helped.
PLEASE HELP!I suspect that you used to have gradient option set Foreground to Transparent, and that you now have it set to Foreground to Background.

I have connected my iPhone to my laptop and I just want to copy the photos from my phone to My Pictures on my laptop. When I click on My Computer the iPhone is not showing up as a camera as I thought I would be able to copy them this way.
Can anyone help?
ThanksI'm having the exact same problem.
At one time, i created an album in iPhoto, "upload to iphone", and synced that album to my iPhone.
Additionally, there is the "Camera Roll" album containing 900+ photos i had taken with my iPhone. (I generally don't check the option in iPhoto to remove photos from the iPhone after importing ... just in case.)
I wanted to remove all photos from my iPhone (for the first time since i got it!), and i was quite surprised to learn that it is a major operation.
First, although not specifically asked about in this post, some of you may find this helpful:
To clear the contents of the iPhone's "Camera Roll", open Image Capture and select your iPhone. Then, select all the photos on the list (or the multiple photos you want) and click the "Delete" icon at the bottom of the screen.
Next, i wanted to remove my "upload to iphone" album, but when i go to the Photos tab in iTunes during the Sync process, no albums are checked; in fact, the "Sync Photos from..." line isn't checked at all.
I have tried checking the box, checking the "upload to iphone" album, emptying the contents of that album in iPhoto, and syncing the empty album to the iPhone ... but the photos remain. And, for some reason, i cannot even delete them individually on the iPhone directly because there is not a Trash icon in the bottom right of each photo as there should be!

Hi there, I have the same problem as I've read on some of the questions posted although the answers hasn't been much help to me with regards to the big exclamation mark on iphotos when I try to open my photos. For some reason my photo files was stored in my document folder and you can imagine how that must have looked, very unorganized. When I tried to move the photos from there to another file that is just for my photos. Now I can't open them in iphotos and although I tried to undo my mistake it still doesn't want to work.. is there any way I can find all the images on my computer and fix my problem by storing them somewhere else without damaging the files?
Please help me find all my photos as I would be shattered if I were to loose any...
Thank you.Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.

That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera. -
I'm unable to remove my keyboard from my laptop. Please help.
I'm trying to clean my laptop fan due to overheating. So I tried to disassemble my laptop but i'm stuck at the stage where the keyboard should be removed. My laptop model is HP Pavilion dv6-6144ca and I've looked up its manual on removing the keyboard. The manual (pages 71-72 http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252.pdf )
instructs to do the following things to remove the keyboard:
1. Remove the Phillips PM2.5×4.0 screw that secures the keyboard to the computer.
2. Rest the computer on its left side.
3. Open the computer.
4. Insert a screw driver or similar thin tool into the keyboard screw hole, and then press on the back
of the keyboard until the keyboard disengages from the computer.
5. Turn the computer right-side up with the front toward you.
6. Lift the rear edge (1) of the keyboard, and then slide the keyboard (2) back until the keyboard cable is accessible.
I'm stuck on step 4. I've tried pushing a screwdriver and then the stick part of a cotton swab through the hole, but I still can't seem to disengage the keyboard, as it should like it's shown in the manual, from the laptop. I even put a lot of pressure when pushing, but still no luck. So I stopped it because I felt I could break something if I put any more pressure than I already did.
I don't know what to do. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Please help.Hi HP-66, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand that you are having difficulty removing your keyboard. Take a look at this YouTube video between 1:45-2:12 which shows someone successfully removing the keyboard.

Remove the key listener from JTable problem please help
Hi
I�m trying to remove the key listener from my table, it doesn�t work,
I�m pressing the enter key it still goes to the next row from the table,
hear is my code
KeyListener[] mls = (KeyListener[])(table.getListeners(KeyListener.class));
for(int i = 0; i < mls.length; i++ )
table.removeKeyListener(mls);
Please help thanksHm ...
that should indeed remove all the KeyListeners from your table - the question is only, when does this happen?- Where in your code do you remove the KeyListeners?- I am quite sure, you remove them successfully, but after your have removed them, one or more KeyListeners are added to the table.
