Trouble with adding photos to a collection

Hi,
till LR 4.1 it was easy to add photos to an existing collection. I just selected photos and dragged+dropped them on the name of the collection. Job done. This seems not to work in LR 4.2 any longer. I can only add photos to a collection by using the context menu of the collection ("Add marked photos to this collection" [most probably the correct English term is different as I work with the German edition of LR 4.2]). Is this supposed to be a feature - or just a bug?
Additionally I can't put photos in an individual order any more. Sorting them by date, name etc - easy! But rearranging the manually doesn't work any longer with my version. Again: feature or bug?
Any hint is welcome!
Regards,
Volker

I can't reproduce it here so far - what OS?
You're dragging from the thumbnail itself, and not the border surrounding?
You've restarted your computer?

IPhoto: trouble with sending photos via gmail.

For some reasons, for about one or two months ago start having troubles with sending photos from iPhoto via gmail.
It used to work perfectly, but now refuses to send photos. Pop up message says that there are some trouble with accessing accounts.
Once I restart my computer it works well again.

Hello ilya,
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine. Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled. When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos. Is there a 64 bit version?

Hello tw_mama,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
This section in particluar:
I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
All the best,
Sterling

Has anyone else had trouble with their photo app? everytime I try to edit a picture my phone restarts.

You have to go into your Gmail account settings.
Then Security.
Then turn ON 2-Step Verification
Follow the instructions to link a cell phone to your google account. They will text you a secondary code and once you've entered that your 2-step verification will be set up.
Then you should have the option on the bottom of the page to add a device. Call it apple tv and then it will generate a secondary code specifically for your Apple TV.
On the Apple TV itself, ultimately I think you have to enter just the first part of your e-mail address (before the @gmail.com) as your Youtube login username.
Then you should enter your gmail account password.
Apple TV will tell you it is incorrect.
Then, retry and enter the long secondary password that google generated for the apple tv.
That should do it.

Why is iphoto having trouble with rotating photos all of a sudden?

i've been using iphoto for a few years. suddenly it un-rotated all of my auto-rotated photos (which screwed up all of my face tags) and now when i upload new photos, if they auto-rotate during the upload they appear in the preview of a whole event, but if i double-click to see a vertical photo, or try to do a slideshow, i get the triangle with an exclamation point in it, indicating that something's wrong with the file. is anyone else having this trouble? or have any idea what to do?
thanks...

I've never used the Flickr feature so don't know if that as any bearing on the problem. if you're satisfied with the newly "fixed" library you can delete the copy of the original library that you made.
However, since you're having problems with rotated photos you might try this and see if the new library has the rotated photos displayed correctly:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
If the rotated photos display correctly in this new library then the problem lies with the orther libraries being damages somehow. You may want to stay with the new library even though the projects, i.e. books, etc. and keywords are lost.
If you have a lot of keywords in your current library and want to move them to the new library you can by doing this:
1 - open the old library and select one photo.
2 - type Command+K to brinb up the keyword pane.
3 - click on all of the keywords that are not blue so that all of the keywords are blue.
4 - export that photo to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind=JPEG and check the two check boxes regarding keywords, locations, etc.
5 - open the new library with iPhoto and import the exported photo from the Desktop. That will bring in all of the keywords so that you don't have to recereate them one by one in the new library.

Trouble with 30Gb Photo

first time posting on here... I looked back through a few page to see if this issue had already been addressed.
A few days ago, my 30Gb iPod Photo started skipping songs on its own. So after resetting it, it lost all it's content. I've read a couple troubleshooting guides about the computer not recognizing the iPod, but still haven't yet found a way to restore my iPod.
When using the updater, I get many different error messages such as "Can't mount iPod" or "iPod service error"
I've tried re installing just about every iPod related software on my computer, as well as trying to Format my iPod (which I can't even do).
I'm hoping I don't have to send this out for service, as my warranty expired 6 days ago...
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Alex

The Sad iPods icon or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
“Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10.Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

Hit a wall with adding photos to slideshow

I have approximately 110 photos added to my project and have hit a roadblock. I have about 30 more pictures to add and when I try to add another, it does something strange. It looks like the picture is there but when I play it, it is the picture before it and is "stretched out"? I have tried adding different pictures and even deleting the one before it and whatever picture I add, it does the same thing. I'm wondering if there is a limit to the amount of photos you can use in a slideshow? Or maybe the files are too large? Please help! This is my first try at a slideshow and I have to complete this project in two days!

If this is an existing slideshow colection you already created, select and drag the new image files from their source folder and drop them into the exisiting slideshow collection icon located in the Collections folder. The new images will be appear in the slideshow according to your 'Sort' order selection located above the filmstrip (i.e. Capture Time, User Order, etc.).
There used to be an issue with the 'Stroke Border' option in the Slideshow module causing soft (fuzzy) imaging at down-scaled resolutions (i.e. anything less than full-resolution). If you encounter this issue, try unchecking the Stroke Border option box. I just tried it with LR 3.4.1 on my Windows 7 system and a 1280x1024 PDF slideshow looks fine with the stroke border....maybe it's fixed in LR 3.4?

I am having trouble with my photo album not transporting a picture to facebook

HT204264 I am having trouble with the Photos app.

I have a 2011 macbook air with a core i7 and 8 megs of ram and a 512 gb hard drive that has plenty of space left. When I upgraded to 10.10.3, it switched my iPhotos app for Photos. Now when I run the app, it makes my fan go crazy and my processor usage goes through the roof on activity monitor. When I quit, everything goes back to normal. I have about 7000 pics and iPhoto would be slow when I would use it, but not like this. I thought Photos was supposed to be able to handle large photo libraries. I haven't heard of anybody else having this problem online. The only thing I can think of is when I started it up and it was "optimizing" or something, I ignored that message and closed it or something. But now I have let it run overnight and it shows no improvement. Thanks for any help you can offer!

RR,
Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

Problem with adding photo

hello
I'm trying to add photo with Ken burns effect to my movie , but i got a message saying that ( time remaining : less than a minute ) but if i remove the ken burn effect it works
so how can i solve it
thanks

iMovie 6 can have problems when third-party iMovie 5 and QuickTime plug-ins are installed on your Mac. Check for them and disable if necessary.
Make sure too that if the project resides on an external disk it uses the proper disk format. Most newly-purchased drives do not.
Both these issues are discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
I'm not clear what happens. When the Ken Burns checkbox is ON you get a message, right? (That's normal.) Then what happens? Does the rendered clip never appear in the Timeline?

Trouble with adding images from database

So I have created this nice little table and want to populate it with an test row and I cant seam to get it to work. I have neber delt with BLOB before and maybe its with that. Well here is the sql code that I am using
CREATE TABLE Product (name VARCHAR2 (60), price INTEGER,discrip VARCHAR2(100),photo BLOB, quantity INTEGER)
INSERT INTO Product VALUES ('Inuyasha Final Act', 39.52, 'Join Inuyasha and Kagome as they continue their quest to find the jewel of the four souls and defeat Naraku.', 'INUFinalAct.JPG');
Did I not put in the images right? how should I load this into the database?
It creates the table nice and dandy, but it will not populate the table at all. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks for any help

This seams to have no SQL error, but when I try to put it into the oracle server, it gave this problem
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01465: invalid hex number
Is this because it does not know where the image is? If that is so how do I get it to know where the image is?It's worse than that... Oracle doesn't even know it's an image.
All Oracle knows is that you have a column of BLOB datatype, which can be used for storing any type of binary data, not just images, and you are trying to insert something of datatype VARCHAR2 into it (a string with some characters in). That string may be the name of the image to you, but to Oracle it's just a string.
Follow hoek's link for good examples of how to do it, as it involves you using other functionality first to read the binary file from the file system into a BLOB variable, before you then insert that BLOB variable into your table.

Problem with adding objects to a collection

Hi
Been using this forum for a couple of years now to help me with my code, but it's the first time that I've had a problem which I couldn't find the answer for!
I'm trying to create two classes one called Reminder and one called Engagement. The Reminder class needs to hold a list of Engagement objects, but whenever I add a new Engagement object to the ArrayList I have created in Reminder and try to retreive it I get a null value.
If anyone can give me an idea of where I have gone wrong that would be most helpful,
Thank you in advance,
Steve
Code:
package reminder;
import java.util.*;
public class Reminder{
    private GregorianCalendar date       = null;
    private String            reason     = null;
    private Engagement        engagement = null;
    private List<Engagement> appointments;
    private int year = 0;
    private int month = 0;
    private int day = 0;
    public Reminder() { //the constructor
        appointments = new ArrayList<Engagement>();
    } //end constructor
    public void add(int d, int m, int y, String r){ //this method takes an engagement object and adds it to the list
    //public void add(Engagement engagement){
        day   = d;
        month = m;
        year = y;
        reason = r;
        appointments.add(new Engagement (new GregorianCalendar(y,m,d), reason));
        System.out.println(day + "-" + month + "-" + year);//(new Engagement (date, reason));
        appointments.add(new Engagement(new GregorianCalendar(2008,4,2), "My first appointment"));
        System.out.println("\nThere are this number of items in the list: " + appointments.size()); //this was to check the item was added
    public void getAppointments(){
        //private int arrayPosition = 0;
        //Iterator it = appointments.iterator();
        for (Iterator it = appointments.iterator(); it.hasNext();){
            System.out.println(it.next());//.appointments.toString());
            //it.next();
package reminder;
import java.util.*;
import reminder.*;
public class Engagement{
    private GregorianCalendar date = null;
    private String reason = null;
    /** Creates a new instance of Engagement */
    public Engagement(GregorianCalendar d, String r) {
        date   = d;
        reason = r;
    public String getReason() {
        System.out.println(reason);
        return null;
public class Main { //main class to test the other classes
    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
     * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Reminder reminderList = new Reminder(); //create an instance of Reminder
        reminderList.add(2,4,2008, "My first appointment");
        reminderList.add(6,10,2009, "My second appointment");
        reminderList.add(2,4,2007, "My third appointment");
        reminderList.getAppointments();
}

Hi Guys
Just wanted to let you know that I have realised where I went wrong, if you look in the Engagement class there is a method called toString(); which just has a return value of null, that is why I was getting the null values!
Sorry for wasting your time, it took me three hours to realise why it wasn't working before I contacted you and about an hour after I posted I realised what the problem was.
One other thing... why is reminderList bad naming? I was going to call the instance reminder but because the class holds a list of objects I thought I'd call it reminderList..
Thanks
Steve

IPhoto '09 trouble with deleting photos

I have a large amount of photos on iphoto. (13,000+) I am attempting to take them off.To make sure I have backups I first put them onto an external drive and also burn CD or DVDs. For some of my photos this has been successful. For a majority of them when I have backed up my photos satisfactorily I DELETE THEM by sending them to iphoto trash. I then empty the trash. The photos are gone. The number of photos in my iphoto drop. (My goal). When I close iphoto and come back a while later the photos I have deleted reappear and then number is high again. This has happened to several groups of photos. iPhoto won't delete them either in the iphoto trash or the regular trash. I have tried putting only 100 photos at a time in the trash. This didn't make any difference. WHAT SHOULD I DO to get rid of these photos so I can make more space iphoto? Why would they show up back in the library when they were deleted in the iphoto trash?????

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Because your database has been damaged.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
