The wrong picture shows up when adding photo to imovie

When I add a photo to Imovie it shows up as a random video clip or a black screen. I have rebuilt my Iphoto thumbnails. I have deleted my Cache files from Imovie. I need another idea of how to fix this problem. I don't want to rebuild my 59 minute project and need it completed ASAP.

Hi
Rebuild the thumbnails - in iMovie ?
or did You
Rebuild and Repair iPhoto Library.
This can (not so seldom) get corrupted and in need of this.
BUT - IT TAKES LOT'S OF TIME. To me and > 60.000 photos it takes about 24 hours to make this - and Mac has to be left without any other processes running sametime (Internet etc)
iMovie and iPhoto and GarageBand and iTunes are closely connected so if the library of one of them go awry they all get into problems (milde or severe).
To make an iPhoto Library Repair - do
• Close all other running applicatins (I use to re-start my Mac)
• if Lap-top - it NEEDS to be connected to Power/Mains as battery will not last the full process
• Start iPhoto BUT AT THE SAME TIME KEEP - alt + cmd- keys (option and command) down DURING THE FULL UP-START
• Now You get a menu to select from - I select all of them.
• Then I do something else for a long long time.
• When Library is sorted out - Re-Start Mac and now iMovie should find the right photos (if imported from iPhoto)
I also do:
• Trash iMovie pref file/s
• Run Repair Permissions (from Disk Util tool)
• Run Repair Hard Disk (from Disk Util tool - BUT to ba able to do this my Mac must be started from DVD or external Hard Disk - as it can not do brain surgery on it self)
Good luck !
Yours Bengt W

On my iPod, I clicked on the Album Tab and only a few of the Album Pictures show up, when I click on the Albums without an artwork on it it has it in the song. Help!

To clear things up.
When you go on your ipod and click the Albums Tab, you see all the Albums of the songs. Only a few Albums have the correct Album artwork on it- the others have the white background and music note- If i click on the album with the white background and music note the correct artwork shows up for the song but not the Album. Please help me out.
Thanks

Removing all Apple related software and reinstalling iTunes should bring all needed drivers back: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Also check for new driver updates for Windows, especially if you have a webcam installed.
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

When I select a photo from photo library, the wrong picture displays. Why is this happening?

When I select a photo from the Photo Library, the wrong picture displays. I'm unable to find the picture selected, making it very difficut to apply wall paper or to contacts. Why is this happening?

I restarted the phone and forced the app to close and neither resolved the issue. I then had the bright idea to remove the sync of photos and remove all the photos from the device. I checked the Photos app and it was empty. I then synced again with the photos selected and all the pictures were restored. The photo library now displays the photo I select.

Screen Bleed - Wrong Screen Shows Up When Playing Project

I'm on Captivate 6.
Creating a demo simulation with a lot of buttons that "Go to Next Slide" or "Go to specific slide. Also have some auto-advance slides based on timing.
When editing, screens look fine. After adding some buttons and hightlight boxes, I then either PREVIEW (both in or out of browser) or PUBLISH (SWF / HTML5 / EXE) and when I play it back, I occasionally will get the wrong background or pieces of the wrong background showing up on the wrong slide.
In one specific case, I took a screen shot of an application with a drop down box in it.   When I play it back, I see just the drop down, but it's superimposed on SLIDE 1.   But, as mention, in the editor, everything looks perfectly fine.
I also have a auto-advance slide that moves forward after a half-second... when I play back and get to that slide, I see a portion of the top of another slide for about 1/4 second... then I see the actual slide.. .and then it moves forward to the next slide.
There is no rhyme or reason as to why and / or when this occurs.   And I can sometimes be 100% fine, but then maybe I cut / paste some buttons / hightlight boxes from one slide to another, and then that slide (which was working fine before) might start having this issue.
I'd like to know if there is a way to easily fix this. It's making it nearly impossible for me to use Captivate to create these, what should be very "simple" demo simulations.

While I never resolved this issue, I did find a viable workaround, better than "republishing several times" (and then having to re-verify every single screen in my demo was correct), which was initially the only way I could get around the problem.
What I have found is if you do a "select all" slides (i.e. click on first slide and then CNTL-A) and then right click and "Mouse - Show Mouse" to show mouse, then follow that up with a right click "Mouse - Show Mouse" to hide mouse... save project and re-publish, that seems to consistently and completely take care of the bleed issue for that particular publish. It's almost as if that does some sort of re-calibration of the entire project to "fix" any issues. (Makes me wonder if "recalibration" should not be a menu option in Captivate that does whatever it is my workaround does to fix the issue?)
Few comments about my workaround:
I want the mouse hidden on ALL my slides, thus the "show mouse / hide mouse". If your project requires the mouse to exist on all slides, do the opposite.
On projects with many slides, this "show" and "hide" on all slides at once can take a bit of time to complete.
Whenever I "show mouse", the default mouse timing many times lengthens my slide time from what I actually desire. So the very first time I "show mouse", I go thru and manually size them all to 0.1 seconds.   Guessing there's probably an easier way to do this, but I got tired of always having to re-adjust my slides after hiding the mouse before publishing.
If your project has mouse visible on some slides and not on others, I have not tried my workaround solution to that. But I'd suspect you'd have to selectively choose slides (instead of CNTL-A) and then "show / hide" or "hide / show" based on whether or not you want the mouse.   On big projects, this could be annoying!
I am attaching a screen print to illustrate my issue. I've had two others in my company on different computers that experience this exact same issue. I was a bit surprised to not find more "complaints" about this online as, at least for me, it's more than just a random happening.   I am publishing to SWF and HTML5.
I have also noticed a similar thing occuring when using the "MEDIA" publish to an .exe file. In at least one of those cases, my "hide / show mouse" workaround did not seem to work.
At least for me, this was a workaround solution that made using Captivate viable for my needs. Otherwise, due to my large number of projects with many slides, I would have had to investigate and change to a different solution.   The "republishing several times" option would have taken too long and also not have provided me comfort knowing my problem was actually fixed on every slide.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?
I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

Ok i put the wrong e-mail in when redemed my new i tunes card and it was worth 25 dollars and now its saying i cant use it. HELP

First, you're not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will respond are fellow users and there's nothing we can do directly with this problem.
But I can tell you that if you redeemed the card through the wrong iTunes Store ID, then sorry, but there's no way to transfer credit from one account to another. You'll have to use the iTunes Store ID under which you redeemed the card to make your purchases. You would not have been able to redeem the card through another account unless you had the password to that account, though, so you may not have actually successfully redeemed the card. Have you tried to redeem it through your "real" iTunes Store account?
Regards.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

What is the name of the tooltips that shows up when you hover over a UIbutton?, such as "back", "foreward", "home" etc

Okey so basically I've themes my windows 7 into a black state.
The thing about that is that the default font color firefox uses for tooltips and other information is back so its quite impossible for me to read.
After a while googleing I found out that something called userChrome.css can be used so naturally I looked furhter.
I found answers for almost everything I was looking for, except these "button tooltips".
Heres my userChrome.css code:
menubar, menu {
color: black !important;
menupopup > menu,
menupopup > menuitem,
popup > menu,
popup > menuitem {
color: white !important;
tooltip, statusbar {
color: white !important;
Basically it takes care of all text that was black and turns it the way I like it.
So what is the name of the tooltips that shows up when you hover over a UIbutton? such as "back"
With the correct name I should be able to add
name {
color: white !important
and it should work just fine :)

I'm not sure about older versions, but in Pages 3.x (OS X 10.9.x) select File > Revert To > Browse All Versions. Hopefully there will be an earlier version that you can "revert to".

My iPad shows the wrong apple I'd when I try to update my apps

I checked the settings and my correct apple ID is tthere but whenever I try to update an app, it shows the wrong apple ID and I can't change it.

dcre wrote:
Yes, it's an old Apple ID that was changed at least 2 years ago.
There is a difference between creating a new Apple ID and changing the username that you use for your Apple ID. If you got a new email address and changed the old Apple ID to reflect the new email address, that new ID should work with previously purchased apps.
So did you just change the username (the new email address) for your Apple ID or did you actually create a new Apple ID? If you created a new Apple ID, you will not be able to use that new ID to update the old apps. You will have to continue to use the old ID and password to update those previously purchased apps.

IPad 3 crashes when adding photo from gallery

Major bummer. I've had my new ipad3 for about a week. Just today when I try and add a photo to either a chat or to Facebook it crashes before it pulls up my photo gallery. This is awful. Anyone else experiencing this? What can I do besides shutting off and rebooting?

OK, it may have been an issue with the last photo that was in my camera roll. For the heckuv it I took another pic and then tried adding photos again in my apps and it worked. Thanks!

How can I hide or arrange alphabetically the folders that show up in 'local photos'?

I have roughly 4000 photos and images in 150+ folders on my android tablet. Most of it is necessary presentation material that will never be opened in photoshop touch. However, when I get to the point in a presentation that I need to design something quickly, I'm faced with all 150+ folders showing up in 'local photos' in no discernable order. I only need 4 folders and about 12 sub folders that I will return to 3-4 times while creating the design. It is really time consuming to find the correct folder as they seem to be listed randomly. How do I isolate only the folders I need to see? Failing that, is there a way to get the folder/sub folder hierarchy to work? Failing that, can they be arranged alphabetically? Failing that, how are the folders arranged?

Do you know how the folders are listed? Perhaps I can just change the folder creation date to some time in the future to get them to populate to the top of the list. I've designed the content so that 130+ of our dealers with android tablets can use the program out in the field to quickly design signs with it --if I can only get over this hurdle.
