Tried "everything" and LOTS of iPhoto 6 thumbnails still broken

I have the "Gray" Thumbnail problem in spades on BOTH my wife's and my PowerBooks running 10.4.6. As per many other postings, various Thumbnails gray with exclamation mark, and they will not link to photo on a double-click. I currently have just over 10k photos with approximately 10% displaying the problem. My wife's system has about 8k photos, with about 40% broken! THATS A LOT TO RE-IMPORT and a LOT of meta-data to loose...
I Have:
* Repaired Permissions (Multiple Times)
* Rebuilt iPhoto at startup (Multiple Times)
* Rebuilt iPhoto using iPhoto Library Manager (Multiple Times)
* Tried a new iPhoto Library, which worked but a couple of hundred photos do not a library make...
* Checked for the missing Color Sync file recommended in one posting.
BOTTOM LINE: NONE of the above one of helped repair our libraries.
Are there any NEW or revelatory suggestions or recipes to solve this obviously wide-spread problem, that I haven't listed above or might have missed?
Thanks in advance! SRJaynes

Hi, SRJ. Sorry to hear that both of you are having the problem.
- Did you move or reorganize photos in your iPhoto library? Rebuilding and many of the other methods won't help if users manually move folders or photos around inside the library.
- Do you have the preference to copy photos into your library or do you keep them in an external folder and simply let iPhoto link to them?
- Usually people just let the library start in the Pictures folder of their account and then hook up their cameras and let pictures download. They might edit the pictures in iPhoto, create albums, order a few books, etc. I'm not suggesting you stay within these narrow lines (hey I don't), but it would help people on the board understand the problem better if you could detail anything unusual that you do that could have triggered a known problem.
- What kind of images do you import? RAW (what kind?), JPG? Any other types?
- Anything that the images that don't appear might have in common? e.g. they were all edited with some application, or they were all portrait images, or all were used in some album, book, anything?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

HELP!!! I have tried everything and Itunes still wont download...

I have tried everything and I still cannot get Itunes to download onto my computer. When I try to uninstall it I get the error message of The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter and alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below. So when I cancel out of it because nothing works its says, "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. So I have tried uninstalling everything and all but Itunes uninstalls from my programs. I have tried deleting it off my hard drive still nothing. I tried downloading those "free" windows installer clean up programs, yeah those are so not free. Can someone please help me??

The usual response from the computer after the download is that Bonjour64.msi cannot be found although it is on my computer.
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any BonJour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

How do I change an Apple ID payment method to 'None'? I've tried everything and the only solution is to get a new e-mail and start all over again. Any other options?

Buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

Have you tried rebooting your router and iPad?
Turn off your router for 30 seconds and on again.

Error Code 50 when installing Creative Cloud desktop update - tried everything and no joy

Folks I've been trying to update my CC desktop app to the latest release and keep getting Error Code 50 at around 47% of the install process.
I've tried every suggestion that has been posted on the Adobe site and forums including:
1 Opening my CC account in the Adobe website and then trying to install - no joy.
2 Running the Adobe cleaner and re-installing CC - no joy.
3 Restarting computer and attempting reinstall - no joy.
4 All of the above with my firewall and anti-virus switched off - no joy.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on a hi-spec machine and I've never had an issue with any update of the CC App or any of the program apps I utilise (Lightroom, Photoshop and Acrobat).
Not really sure what I do now as I've tried everything and really need to keep working (pro photographer) so am having to ditch this for now as it's taking too much time.
Grateful for any suggestions please.
Many thanks
James

I've tried everything and still am unable to join my own wifi network from my iPhone 4s

I have an AirPort Extreme running the latest software. I've tried everything and still am unable to join my own wifi network from my iPhone 4s, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 3G, my girlfriend's iPhone 4. The only devices that will connect to the network are our MacBook Pros and iPads, (1 and 2). I have reset the airport to default settings, I've restored my iPhone, I've even disabled the password. I am still unable to join my open airport extreme wifi network. PLEASE HELP!

Saying you tried everything isn't helpful. Perhaps describing in detail what you've done would allow people to better assist you.
If you're ever experiencing strange problems connecting to any wifi point you can always try resetting your network settings on your iPhone itself. This solves the majority of wifi problems.
To do this go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will clear all of your saved wifi hotspots and passwords, and hopefully solve your issue.
Please try this and respond with your results.

Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

Here's an answer from the net:
Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

HT201210 I have tried everything and my iphone still wont restore. Does anyone have any resolutions?

I have tried everything and my iphoe still eon't restore. Does anyone have any top tips?

Put iPhone into Recovery Mode and Restore with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click Restore button of iTunes. If any Error messages are given write them down so you can look up cause and solution. If still problem, and if you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

If you tried everything and still get USB Parent d...

For those that have tried everything and still receive the USB Parent fatal error.
I have tried everything on these forums and spend several hours getting it working. Finally I got it to working and with the latest version.
Here is what I did:
1. Run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner (No reboot)
2. Run a search through windows drive (probably c for anything "Nokia" and deleted.
3. Run registry cleaner (CCleaner).
4. Took groa's advice and added registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
"SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
5. Checked through Add/Remove programs and deleted anything Nokia related.
6. Reboot computer.
7. Plugged in phone to charger.
8. Folled PC Suite installation and plugged in phone when prompted.
All drivers were installed successfully and phone is now recognized.
I hope this helps anyone that is still having this annoying problem.

Glad that worked for you. I don't know what step did it, but it did and that's what matters.
*** I forgot to mention for step 3. I ran CCleaner for both Cleaner and Registry (making a registry backup). And lol I typo'd step 8. folled = followed.
For anyone else that doesn't know how to make a registry entry, here's how:
1. Make a new notepad file and add the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
"SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
2. Save the file as X.reg (the X can be whatever).
Then you just click the file and import into your registry.
