Finished photo book. Clicked buy book. It said two boxed needed photos although already filled. Tried to replace with other photos no luck. Help!
What iPhoto version and theme are you using? Do you have any full page photos in the book? If so make sure the layout is not this one for a one photo per page with a photo background:
So check the layout for the pages to see if you have one that requires a photo for the page background. The screenshot above is for iPhoto 9.

After the most recent FF update, FF 3.6.6 will not load, citing the error message: "XULRunner / Error: Platform version '1.9.2.3' is not compatible with minVersion>=1.9.2.6 / maxVersion". Tried updating XULRunner with no luck. Downloaded fresh copy and installed. Still no luck.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

I am trying to stream via ESPNWatch but I get a message saying I have a popup blocker that does not allow the streaming to happen. I unchecked the pop up blocker box in the Safari preferences to no avail. Any ideas?
Might be a Safari extension...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, then quit and relaunch Safari to test. -

My ipad does not communicate with my iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting needs to be changed?
It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved. -

On that computer... Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?
If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?

I have a MB Pro that is running Lion; I also have two external DVI monitors and a DVI splitter in hopes that I could run the two monitors with my MB Pro. This actually works fine, but I am unable to "extend" the desktop. Any insights?
You cannot have a extended desktop using a splitter. All that does is mirror the pair attached to the splitter.
You can do this however using a Matrox DualHead2Go.
Other solution would be to attach one monitor to your video out as you do the splitter and attach the other via USB (assuming the adapter supports the monitor's resolution).

I am using the latest version of crystal report CRforVS_13_0_10 with Visual Studio 2013.
I am working a WPF application and using the WPF crystalreportviewer control.
The steps to reproduce the exception is ,
1) Create a report.
2) Export report with sample.xls as file name
3) Now open the sample.xls file in Excel
4) Again export the report with sample.xls as file name
5) There is dialog which asks "Do you want to replace existing file sample.xls"
6)Click "Yes"
7) Now the exception will be thrown.
This is System.IO.IOException which is thrown by crystal report when user tries to save the file which is already opened by user. Also there is no event provided to handle Export_click for WPF CrystalReportViewer where I can handle this.I can replicate the issue. Not sure how we can hook into the System.IO process to capture the exception. I have not played with that part yet...
I created my own export button and wrapped it in a try/catch and this is what I get:
Which is what you would expect rather than a Null Exception error:
We'll have to do more testing to see how or if System IO errors can caught outside of CR.

Internal hd down, replaced with external, two weeks later I rebooted and internal is back up!!
I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but after using a late 2006 20" iMac for the last 5 1/2 yrs. it decided to give me a folder with a question mark in the middle of the screen when I tried rebooting a few weeks ago. After reading multiple forums and tech support advice, I learned that my hard drive bit the dust. That's what the question mark meant, it was nowhere to be found. I decided to get a new 3.5" SATA hd. (A friend of mine just happened to have one unopened!! What luck!!) Instead of going through the hassle of tearing my mac apart, I just bought me an enclosure shell and plugged it in. I did a recovery off of my Time Machine backup and now I'm back in business. Here is the strange thing... I shut down my mac and went to church. When I got home I started it up and my internal drive happen to start working again. The only thing I could figure is that maybe it got too hot or something. Now I have two hd's, internal and externa, (plus my Time Machine backup)l. This seems to be presenting a problem with Time Machine. Does anyone have any advice as to what I could do as far as the internal drive is concerned? I hate to use it as my main drive and have it crash on me again. And can Time Machine backup two hard drives at the same time? I've been wondering about using RAID but am not that familiar with it. What's the difference between concatenated RAID and striped RAID? Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh, BTW, I am using Lion as my operating system. I know they said it wouldn't work on anything before 2007, but it has been working since July of 2011.I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but after using a late 2006 20" iMac for the last 5 1/2 yrs. it decided to give me a folder with a question mark in the middle of the screen when I tried rebooting a few weeks ago.

I have been trying to move pictures into iphoto and am now receiving a message the say I "cannot open the application iphoto because the classic environment is no longer supported."
Launch iPhoto the the Option key held down and create a new library. See if you can import those photos into it. If you can then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2. delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Fix #3
Use iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/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. -
I went through an Adobe update and when my computer rebooted, the default font for everything was in italics. For example, when I go to Yahoo.com, the headings for all the news articles and tabs are in italics. I tried going through the Troubleshooting steps to no avail. I am frustrated because I followed the advice of checking the default font under Tools, then I opened the browser in Safe Mode, then I checked to make sure all the fonts were available. So how can I get my fonts back to normal? The italics gives me a headache.
The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
you will have to reinstall that corrupted font. -
My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google). Opera and Mozilla Firefox won't load any sites whatsoever. I already did the "Reset Safari" several times, restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete. I virus scanned the computer with Sophos, Avast, and iAntiVirus and it looks clean.
Is iAntiVirus the best virus protection to use for a MacBook?
The best anti-virus protection is your own common sense, and what you already bought and paid for with your Mac. Third party products such as "iAntiVirus" convey no additional benefit, and as you already determined are very capable of causing trouble.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
