"Revert to Original" does not work.

I recently upgraded from iPhoto 4 to 5 (5.0.4). While browsing, I decided to revert some edited photos (edited in iPhoto 4) back to their original state by using the "Revert to Original" menu item. I got a confirmation dialog which I clicked "OK". Nothing happened! The "Revert to Original" menu item was not grayed out after this attempt so I repeated the process no to avail. I have verified that the original/unedited file is in the "Original" folder inside the iPhoto Library folder.
I am able to revert to the original if I edit a previously unedited photo in iPhoto 5 for the first time. The problem seems to be limited to just those photos that were originally edited in iPhoto 4 and then converted to the new iPhoto 5 library.
Any ideas?

Mike:
First try manually setting the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder and contents as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
If that doesn't help you can, after making a duplicate copy of your iPhoto Library folder, rebuild the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options but the last one, orphans may bring in those non-recoverable originals as new files. You can select it or not. If you have a large library you might want to to save having to go back and redo in case the first rebuild does not work.

Reverting to Original does not delete the backup copy

Hi,
I am new to Mac. I have late last year's Macbook Pro that came with iPhoto '09.
When I mark certain photos to revert them to original, I am expecting that it would delete the modified copy from the Modified folder in the iPhoto library. In many cases I am seeing that it still keeps the picture in Modified folder.
Why does it not always remove the picture from Modified folder after I have done a Revert to Original?
Thanks
MS

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Launch iPhoto and try the revert to original again.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why does batch rename Original Case not work properly?

The Batch rename funtion for >Current Filename >Name >Original Case does not work.
Why?

For some reason it doesn't do a thing. Unless my inderstanding of its function is not correct.
It doesn't a thing by design, when having selected 'current filename' / Name / and 'Original Case' it does what it says, it leaves everything original as is in the existing filename. You can also choose to use uppercase and lowercase to either change all characters of the existing file name to uppercase or lowercase.
I can imagine you have been mislead by the fact the write UPPERCASE and lowercase to show as an example and used two capitals in 'Original Case'. Sadly enough the use of capitals in common throughout Bridge is not very consistent and sometimes even very strange to put it mildly…

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695

Unable to install "Mavericks" as it asks for my 'Admin Password" and it does not work. Have not used it since I got my iMac in 2008. First upgrade to do so. Any solutions please?

I have a 2008 iMac which had Leopard initially and I have upgraded to each new OS without a hitch. I downloaded "Mavericks" and began the install, it asked me for my "Admin Password" which I have never ever used since I set the Mac up, I have it safely tucked away so entered it, it rejected it each time. Am sort of lost now, as if my "Admin P/W" does not work here can I go from here?
I have seen many others with this problem but so far most of the solutions seem to be for the "log in" or "User" password not the Admin one.
I am running Mountain Lion successfully.
I have my original disks as supplied and also a Snow Leopard install disk.
I have seen some info about fixing this via Lion Recovery partition which I must have due to using Mt Lion.
How can I repair this situation.
Thank you to all those who respond.

Thanks for your reply.
I have visited both the sites you listed but it seems to me that the solutions mentioned are to fix the User or log in p/w's.They do not seem to refer to the admin one again.
I understand about it being just like other user accts but the fixes do not really refer to it only the above two.
I have no problem booting up my Mac, I do not use a log in p/w so my problem is with the Admin p/w that was set up back in 2008. This is what I need to reset etc.
I am quite confused over these pw's as to just what is what and I need to make sure I understand all before I get into deeper trouble following these links.
This Admin p/w that was set up has never been used and is the only p/w I have except for my Apple ID. All previous upgrades only required my user name log in which has no p/w set up.
I hope you can follow me here butI have read so much on this it is becoming very confusing about whcih p/w's are what.

Hdmi does not work

I am trying to hook up a logitech revue unit to my hitachi hdtv. It requires an hdmi input. When we first got fios, (qip 6200 p2 stb), no amount of fiddling with cables, settings and what not got hdmi to work. After much frustration, etc. said to hell with it and went with component output. Worked fine. Now I need hdmi. TV keeps saying "no video signal. " Tried all three hdmi tv ports and tried all tv input option settings. No go. It did come on intermittently , but only after an un-acceptable delay. Yes! I did disconnect the component outputs before trying the HDMI. have rebooted and resetted the world to no avail. According to the various forums, this Motorola hdmi fiasco has been ongoing for almost three years. I want a fix, ASAP. Or at least a reliable date for a fix. BTW I am an EE+ computer science engineer. I've tried the entire customer service 101 stuff so please don't tell me to change my cables.
Boris {edited for privacy}

As I said in my posting, I am a professional. I would not have bought the unit had I not seen the logitech listing of compatible STB. Also, be assured that I have hooked it up correctly. There does not appear to be any way to do it wrong.
1. STB hdmi OUT to Revue hdmi IN
2. Revue HDMI OUT to TV HDMI IN Tried all three ports. NO Go.
How pray tell could I have screwed that up?
Read my post please. Went through the cable **bleep**
Revue HDMI out to TV works okay I get a signal and can start the initialization procedure. I have a wifi problem which
I may fix by opting ethernet if high gain antenna does not fix. As I said, I am a professional..i have read thoroughly the Actiontec (router), logitech and Verizon Forums. This STB misbehavior is endemic to to the benighted Motorola STB and has been endemic from the start. Obviously, Logitec testing of the Motorola STB was inadequate. My original question
stands, since the MOtorola STB does not work on HDMI. Please confine your reply to a substantive response to my question.
1. When will the Verizon STB be made to provide fully functional HDMI outputs.
if not that,
2. When will Verizon provide a fully functional STB?

Microphone does not work in Facetime

Hi
I read other posts and in Maverik I didn't find simmilar problem, for most people their microphone does not work after few minutes, but in my case, microphone does not work at all in Facetime, so I can hear the other end, but they can not hear me! This happened after updating Mavericks.
My Mac specs:
Macbook Pro 2013
OSx 10.9.1 (Mavericks)
things I already tested:
I tried to use headphone and without headphone, but it didn't make any difference
Microphone works fine in Skype and other softwares (Audacity, YahooMessenger, etc.)
Tried with WiFi and with Ethernet cable
Internet speed is 2.3MBps
Router's firewall does not have any restriction for certain ports
Tried turning facetime Off and On
Tried to call iPhone 5s, iPad2 and MacBook Pro each in different network and different countries!
... and finally searching internet for hours (which obviously came up with nothing)
I'll be thankful if somebody help me through, all suggestions are welcome, so please don't hesitate to post.

Same issue here....
8-core Mac Pro, Lion, Original External iSight camera connected via FireWire 400 through the FireWire jack on the 23" Apple Cinema Display.
Audio and video work fine using iChat and making video clips through any/all apps.
However, using FaceTime.....incoming audio and video are fine, outgoing video is fine, but outgoing audio is missing. Nobady can hear me.
Sorry guys...you can't doll this one up or spin it in any other direction......it's a bug pure and simple.
Feel free to fix it whilst you're dealing with all the other problems that Lion has.

TS1702 On the game "pinball HD" for the Ipad the right flipper does not work on my 2 ipads

I have two ipads one is the original that first came out and the other is an Ipad mini. I have installed on both the piball game "pinball HD". On both devices the right flipper on the game does not work. Seems strange it is happening on both my devices which leads me to belive it is a software issue. Was wondering if any one else has experianced this problem. I would not mind so much if it is free, but it was not. I have sent an email to the developer but so far no answer. Is any one else experiancing this problem ??

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Help with util.zip up files... does not work

I am writing a program so my mum can zip up new photos she takes and then send them to me. The program creates a html file for the webpage plus a smaller version of her original photo and places them all in a 1 folder with a new name. Al this part works... I want to afterwards place my files in a zipped up folder that she can e-mail me with her normal client. How... I picked up this code on the net and have changed it to incoporate my parameters. The files which are created ..paths are (String in an String[]) I then send to my zipping method.
The zip file is created but does not work when I try to extract from it ??? I also know that the String [] works becuse I have made a loop to check its properties at each index.
what am I doing wrong?
This is a modified code I found on the internet but with no author??
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.*;
public class Test{
    private File zipDir;
    private String[] filename;
    public Test(String[] recivedFilename){
        filename = recivedFilename;
        try {
            ZipOutputStream zos = new
                    ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\curDir.zip"));
            from,
            zipDir("c:\\batviapictures\\", zos);
            zos.close();
        } catch(Exception e) {

            int bytesIn = 0;
            //loop through dirList, and zip the files
            for(int i=0; i<dirList.length; i++) {
                File f = new File(zipDir, dirList);

String filePath = f.getPath();
zipDir(filePath, zos);
continue;

zos.putNextEntry(anEntry);
while((bytesIn = fis.read(readBuffer)) != -1) {
zos.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesIn);
fis.close();
catch(Exception e) {

I make no guarantees that this will completely solve all your problems, but I just know these calls are needed but missing from your OP:
try {
    ZipOutputStream zos = new
                    ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\curDir.zip"));
                    from,
                    zipDir("c:\\batviapictures\\", zos);
    zos.flush(); // ADD THIS after all files have been written to the zos
    zos.close();
} catch(Exception e) {
    //handle exception
}And
while((bytesIn = fis.read(readBuffer)) != -1) {
    zos.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesIn);
zos.closeEntry(); // ADD THIS after each file is written to the zos
fis.close();

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

It started working.....!!!!! (It seems someone back there is listening)
I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
TIPS:
I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
good luck!!

HT4623 my iphone doesn't work here in Albania after i made an update,it says that u have to change ur Sim Card cuz does not work with ur Carrier...what do i do?

Hpls help me ,my iphone does not work after i updated and restore it..it says that u have to change ur Sim Card..cuz the carrier that u use its not known
But it has worked perfectly before the update!

Your iPhone was almost certainly jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier. Restoring the iPhone has now removed that jailbreak and the iPhone has relocked back to the original carrier. Only that carrier can authorize an official, permanent unlock, so you will need to contact that original carrier and ask if you would qualify for unlocking.
Regards.

"Revert to Original" does not work.
