Screensaver source: Picture loading issue!

After upgrading my MacMini to Yosemite I started having this issue. The Screensaver source is loading for a while and then shows an error message on the screen telling that was not able to connect to the NAS (network drive).  so no pictures are loaded and the dropdown list is empty so I cannot change the source to the standard options like National Geographic pics or the others.  I also noticed that iPhoto folder is not present in my screensaver desktop picture folders like it is in my MBpro.
I have been trying to solve this issue and no luck yet, I re-installed Yosemite, re-installed iPhoto, I removed several plists (screensaver, desktop, systempreferences, etc. ) and I am still dealing with the same issue. Something I have done recently looks like does something but at the end the system went back to the same state (I rebuilt iPhoto database, during the rebuilding process the screensaver started working as expected, but when the re-build finished everything went wrong again). I called AppleCare and the first technician was not able to help and the line for the Genius technician was so busy that I was not able to wait that long. So I guess there is a lot of people having problems with Yosemite or iOS8.
Does anyone have a clue about how to fix this issue?  My next move is to bring my MacMini to the AppleStore.
Thanks,
wfpindiana

I solved the problem by creating a new library in iPhoto and removing the current library. However, create a backup of your pictures if you are using iPhoto as your photo album / organizer, this will kill the whole library and its contents.  For creating a new library hold the option key while opening iPhoto. I found that my problem was an issue with the Desktop & Screensaver pane trying to open the iPhoto library. Looks like I had a corrupted file or photo in it.  The following link explains how to fix the iPhoto link but if it does not work for you as it did not work for me, you might need to do what I did, create a new iPhoto library.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1192
You can also try to repair the library using the repair tool in iPhoto, but that did not work for me neither.
So, good luck!

  • Screensaver source says Loading... for ever

    Photo screen saver hasn't worked properly since the previous upgrade of Aperture to combine libraries with iPhoto.
    Post the Mountain Lion upgrade, I can't even configure the screensaver.  I call up the panel and I can choose the slideshow type (different arrangement of photo shapes on the sceen), but the source drop down offers only a single option "Loading..." even if I leave it for some time - so I can no longer even choose a folder (rather than part of my Aperture library given that there is a running issue with photos from Aperture in the screen saver).
    (I've tried choosing one of the non-photo screensavers and then coming back to a photo one, but it's the same, always Loading... in the drop down and Loading Photos... in the preview panel - but never anything else.
    Has anyone else seen this? (who has Aperture - as I guess this is still linked to the problem introduced by the pre-Mountain Lion Aperture update - I've taken the Aperture upgrade that is available immediately after upgrading to Mountain Lion).

    Hi Edward,
    Well, I've solved the problem in my own case, but I'm none the wiser as to the real cause and I don't think I've got any ideas how to help you with yours. I'll describe my situation below in case it gives any wiser minds a clue as to the problem or the commonalities between our set ups.
    Here's a selection of the Console error messages that may offer some clues:

    What was happening with me was that I kept getting a request everytime I clicked on the 'Desktop & Screensaver' pref to unlock the encrypted home user account on another disk. If I ignored that request (neither accept nor cancel), I'd get the 'loading' error you report. If I accepted it, everything was fine.
    I ran a terminal command which lets me see what files were open on that disk both when I did and didn't accept the request. Though it showed some activity in the System libraries on that disk when I accepted the request (odd in itself), it never showed any activity in the encrypted home user account. Highly mysterious.
    Seeing as I had that internal disk backed up on another physically disconnected disk, I thought I'd experiment and see what happened if I erased it. Incredibly, Sys Prefs started behaving normally!
    I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if any more info comes to light, but right now I'm as stumped as you are.

  • Safari Picture Loading Issue

    I am trying to see if anyone knows if there is anyway to get all pictures to load form a website. I have read that the limit is 6mb, then photos stop loading in safari and show the blue box with a question mark.
    So does anyone know if the is a different browser the iPad can run in order to load a complete web site with photos? Or maybe a program that can override this limitation?
    I do not mean to stir up any hate, because I know this has been asked a zillion times, but ....Maybe...Maybe someone has figured something out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried emptying you cache and similar items in Safari's Settings? That may help. However, the real problem is that the iPad only has 256 MB of RAM.

  • TileList data load issue

    I am having an issue where the data that drives a tilelist
    works correctly when the tile list is not loaded on the first page
    of the application. When it is put on a second page in a viewstack
    then the tilelist displays correctly when you navigate to it. When
    the tilelist is placed in the first page of the application I get
    the correct number of items to display in the tilelist but the
    information the item renderer is supposed to display, ie a picture,
    caption and title, does not. The strange thing is that a Tree
    populates correctly given the same situation. Here is the sequence
    of events:
    // get tree is that data for the tree and get groups is the
    data for the tilelist
    creationComplete="get_tree.send();get_groups.send();"
    <mx:HTTPService showBusyCursor="true" id="get_groups"
    url="[some xml doc]" resultFormat="e4x"/>
    <mx:XMLListCollection id="myXMlist"
    source="{get_groups.lastResult.groups}"/>
    <mx:HTTPService showBusyCursor="true" id="get_tree"
    url="[some xml doc]" resultFormat="e4x" />
    <mx:XMLListCollection id="myTreeXMlist"
    source="{get_tree.lastResult.groups}"/>
    And then the data provider of the tilelist and tree are set
    accordingly. I tried putting moving the data calls from the
    creation complete to the initialize event thinking that it would
    hit earlier in the process and be done by the time the final
    completion came about but that didn't help either. I guess I'm just
    at a loss as to why the tree works fine no matter where I put it
    but the TileList does not. It's almost like the tree and the
    tilelist will sit and wait for the data but the item renderer in
    the tilelist will not wait. Which would explain why clicking on the
    tile list still produces the correct sequence of events but the
    visual component of the tilelist is just not working right. Anyone
    have any ideas?

    Ok, so if ASO value is wrong, then its a data load issue and no point messing around with the BSO app. You are loading two transactions to the exact same intersection. Make sure your data load is set to aggregate values and not overwrite.

  • Exception currencies TCURX table, R3 - BW loading issue

    Hello Friends,
    I am facing issue in report values for amount in local currency key field. Its value not matching with R3 values. Decimal places are shifted in report.
    We are on BI7 (RSDS data source).
    There is data coming from R3 into one DSO from different different data sources (Sales, Billing, Purchasing etc) and then getting loaded to cube for reporting.
    Few data sources are standard like LIS and few are Z data sources.
    This issue must be related to exception currencies maintained in TCURX table. Becauase we are getting issues only for those currencies.
    For Ex: See R3 and report value is different.
    R3 value:71.230,00 KWD
    Cube value:71.230,00 KWD
    Report value: 7.123,000 KWD
    BW report is showing discrepancy for KWD, CLP (TCURX) currencies for Actual amount in LC key figure.
    Can you please explain how to handle fix here?
    I have heard that the ECC to BW the respective customization needs to be considered into account in the source system itself.
    So can we ask our R3 team to fix this issue for exceptional currencies on R3 side. And any particular information that we will have to share with R3 team to get this corrected?
    Please share your inputs on this.
    Thank You.

    Hi P.K,
    We too have faced same issue in last project, we followed some procedure as I attached below.
    Please go through the attached document and understand.
    Issue description: SAP stores all Amount values of different currencies with a fixed interpretation of having two decimal places. There are few exceptions to this rule for the currencies which has no meaning for the decimal places like 'Chilean Peso', Japanese Yen, South Korean Won, Paraguayan Guarani and many other currencies which we talk in the below sections. For few Currencies the fractions are needs to be stored more than 2 decimals due to the currency values and this document describes the procedures that needs to be followed to have the right reporting.
    Analysis provided:  Kenya Sales KPI’s values display by multiple of 100.
    This document describes the procedure to handle the currencies which has the decimal places other than 2 in the table TCURX.
    About TCURX table:
    Currencies which do not have two decimal places must be defined in table TCURX (decimal places for currency codes). The table determines the number of decimal places in the output according to the currency key. If the contents of currency exist in table TCURX as currency key CURRKEY, the system sets the number of decimal places according to the entry for the field CURRDEC in TCURX. You can maintain this table via the R/3 Implementation Guide (Global Settings -> Currencies, Transaction OY04).
    If a currency is not defined in Table TCURX (decimal places for currency codes), this currency is regarded as currency with two decimal places.
    Impact of TCURX in BW on data:
    Currently in my present system the following currencies were listed in the TCURX Table:
    Details of the Currencies
    In the above table some of the Currencies are obsolete.   
    Data load from Source to BW:
    In the Source I have the data like below:
    For one of the company the total net Sales is present as 675772,43 CLP (Chilean Peso) in the source system for the period Jan’12.
    When the data is loaded into BW:
    The data in the Source and in the Cube is matching each other.
    Data reported in the query looks like below:
    The data in the query gets multiplied by 100 which results in 67577243.00 CLP this is due to the fact that when we execute the query, the query looks at the possible entry of the the currency in the table TCURX. If the entry is available as 0, then it will multiply by 100 as normally as per SAP, all Currencies are stored with two decimal places.
    Corrective measures / steps which user should take before raising an issue:
    This behavior is due to the fact that the Query always looks at the TCURX table while execution and if there is an entry in TCURX then it will be considered as below:
    [Amount Value] * [10 ** (2- (CURRDEC entry in TCURX table))]
    In present case as the entry is marked as 0 in TCURX table the result will be like below:
                           = Amount*10**(2-0) = Amount*10**2 = Amount * 100
    This will be corrected as below:
    All amount related entries at the data source level should be marked to ‘External Format’.
    Earlier the same was like below with the internal format.
    In 3.x we have the option to choose the same at the infopackage level with 'Currency Conversion for External Systems':
    The above change in the data source will provide the below results:
    During data loads:  When we load the data into BW having amount fields in it, it checks the TCURX table for the currency entry. If the currency entry is present in TCURX table, it divides the amount value by 10** (2- (CURRDEC entry in TCURX table)).
    Query Output: The exactly reverse happens while displaying such values in the report output. The amount value will be multiplied by 10** (2- (CURRDEC entry in TCURX table)) while displaying in the report output.
    One of below example shows the results as below from the flat file when the format is changed to External.
    From Flat file: Sample content from Flat file
      In the Cube: Output from the Cube for the same entry
    Values are divided by 100 as for Currency IDR the entry is marked as ‘ZERO’ in TCURX table for number    of Decimal places.
    In the Query: Out of the Query looks like below:
    Values the source value matches with the target value where the values of the cube get multiplied by 100.
    Points to be noted: This procedure is only with the amounts having CURR data type.
    If the amounts are used as FLTP type then this issue can also be avoided.
    All the currencies having entry other than 2 in the field CURRDEC of table TCURX will be affected by this phenomenon.
    The division will be carried out at the time of loading while multiplication will be carried out at the time of report output display.
    Mainly this needs to be considered when dealing with the Flat file data loads which holds the currencies and for the ECC to BW the respective customization needs to be considered into account in the source system side.
    Regards,
    Vijay

  • OBIA Financial Analytics - ETL Incremental Load issue

    Hi guys
    I have an issue while doing ETL Incremental load in DEV. Source, Target ORACLE.
    issue with these two tasks: SDE_ORA_GL_JOURNALS and SDE_ORA_ImportReferenceExtract
    incremental load is holding at SDE_ORA_GL_JOURNALS.....on Database sessions the query is completed and also the session is done but no update in the session log for that session in informatica. It says hust ' SQL Query issued to database' . no progress from there. and the task in both informatica session monitor and DAC says running and keeps running for ever. No errors seen in any of the log files.
    Any idea on whats happening? I checked session logs, DAC servr logs, Database alert logs, Exception logs on source and found nothing.
    I tried to run these Informatica generated queries in SQL developer and they ran well and I did see the results. More over, weird thing is from past three days and about 10 runs....the statis tics are
    both thses tasks run in parallel and most of the times Import references extract is completed first and then GL_Journals is running for ever
    In one run, GL_Journals is done but then Import reference extract is running for ever. I dont exactly understand whats happening. I see both the queries running in parallel on source database.
    Please give me some idea on this. And this same stuff is running good on QA. I dont know how this is working.....any idea on this is appreciated. Thank you. let me know of ay questions. Thank you in advance.

  • Data Load Issue "Request is in obsolete version of DataSource"

    Hello,
    I am getting a very strange data load issue in production, I am able to load the data upto PSA, but when I am running the DTP to load the data into 0EMPLOYEE ( Master data Object) getting bellow msg
    Request REQU_1IGEUD6M8EZH8V65JTENZGQHD not extracted; request is in obsolete version of DataSource
    The request REQU_1IGEUD6M8EZH8V65JTENZGQHD was loaded into the PSA table when the DataSource had a different structure to the current one. Incompatible changes have been made to the DataSource since then and the request cannot be extracted with the DTP anymore.
    I have taken the follwoing action
    1. Replicated the data source
    2. Deleted all request from PSA
    2. Activated the data source using (RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL)
    3. Re transported the datasource , transformation, DTP
    Still getting the same issue
    If you have any idea please reply asap.

  • SAP Mobile Sales 2.0 delta load issue for Sales Orders

    Hello,
    we have used Mobile Sales 2.0 with a Windows app for a while now. Our current issue is that sales reps won't see any historical sales order data on their devices.
    Background
    Due customer requirements, we need to make small changes to customer master data attributes and reload all customers from ERP to CRM. Then we ran delta loads (MAS_PARTNER followed by all other objects) to DOE, in which virtually all 5000+ customer accounts were compared. The delta load ran for about 3 days (some performance bottleneck we haven't located yet).
    During the delta load, data on devices was inconsistent. Accounts were missing and all transaction data disappeared. After the delta loads, all accounts and contacts are OK, save for a few. Data from activities (appointments, tasks) have reappeared, as they should. Only sales orders won't reappear. The sales orders exist in the backend and belong to active accounts and sales reps.
    Settings and troubleshooting so far
    We don't have any limitations for sales orders in CRM Sales Mobile configuration.
    We've run delta loads for all objects in transaction SDOE_LOAD.
    MAS_CUSTOMIZATION etc seem fine.
    We've re-run initial load for sales orders from CRM.
    In the test system, we've even reinitialized the whole CDS database on DOE and on the devices, then re-ran the loads.
    Checked steps suggested in discussion
    SAP CRM 2.0 initial load issue
    Historical sales orders (those created before the master data reload) exist in the backend, but don't show up on the device.
    If I change one of those historical sales orders in the backend, it gets sent to the device.
    If I create a new sales order in the backend or on the device, it is saved and replicated just fine.
    To sum it up, it seems DOE is unable to identify the sales orders relevant for replication.
