  • HT1176 I am trying to add my iPhoto library to files to be backed up on time machine. I am told to click on the Options Minus butto, but it is greyed out. What is the solution ?

    I have been trying to add my iPhoto Library to files for time machine backup.
    I was instructed to click on the Options minus button - but it is greyed out and not functional. 
    What is the solution ?
    Your help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You can "see" the iPhoto library in Time Machine backups, but you cannot "open" the library or "browse" the contents while you are in Time Machine.
    Apple makes you restore the entire iPhoto library to another destination...like your desktop....if you want to retrieve a few older images that you may have deleted by mistake.
    This is a convoluted mess, but unfortunately, that is the way it is.
    See Pondini's excellent, detailed information on this:
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    You might also want to post in the iPhoto support area to see if the experts over there might have a workaround for you. I cannot find one, but I'm not an iPhoto expert.

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
    Your help is really appreciated"

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help

  • Trying to move my iPhoto library to external drive

    I'm trying to clear up room on my internal drive and so trying to move my library to an external drive.  I've copied the photo library to the external drive.  How do i point the iPhoto application to this new location so that I can delete the library on my mac's drive.  Follow up question, do i need to make any changes with time machine so that the new location continues to get backed up?

    1 - Option - launch iPhot
    2 - Yes - in the TM preferences under options be sure that drive is not excluded
    3 - what format is the EHD? It MUST be Mac OS extended (journaled) to work for the iPhoto library
    The general answer including those points is
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Trying to rebuild my iphoto library from time machine backup and it still says 0 restored with a grey screen and the circle. How can i restore my library?

    I just bought a new Macbook pro and i tried to rebuild my iphoto library from a time machine backup on an external hard drive. Even after pressing command+option when starting iphoto and selecting rebuild library from automatic backup, it still doesn't work with the grey screen with the white circle and a little window that says 'rebuilding library: 0 versions restored'. I also tried to make a copy of my iphoto library but that did not work either. how can i restore my iphoto library or at least gain access to my photos?

    Your question is not clear
    Rerairing or rebuilding the iPhoto library never involves using Time Machine in any way
    TM is a totally seperate program and you can "restore" a file (including the iPhoto library) from the past using TM - you launch TM and go back to the time you want and select the file (or folder or package) you want and click restore - it probably is best to keep the current one until you are sure everything is good

  • I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air (lion)... however many of the pictures heads are cut off.  How do I fix this without the pictures looking distorted?

    I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air.  Many of the pictures' heads are cut off.  How do I get the pictures to fit the screen properly without the pictures be distorted?

    Open the screen saver control panel. Right above the preview window there's a popup menu. You'll probably want to set it to "Fit to screen" so the pictures will be resized to show on the display.

  • Trying to add a toshiba USB 3.0 drive to Airport Extreme---possible??

    FIRST TIME TRYING TO ADD A HARD DRIVE TO MY AIRPORT EXTREME----PURCHASED A USB3.0 TOSHIBA.
    CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT REGOGINISED WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE AIRPORT EXTEME
    IS 3.0 THE PROBLEM???
    ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
    THANKS

    In addition to Niel's comments, I assume that you understand that the USB3 speeds will drop to down to USB2 levels at the AirPort Extreme.
    Actually, it will be worse than that, as the USB2 processor on the AirPort Extreme runs at about half the speed of a USB2 processor on a computer.
    If you can get the drive formatted correctly, things are still going to be really SLOW.

  • I use OSX version 10.8.5 and iphoto on a MAC.  I upgraded to elements 12 and in IPHOTO it keeps going to Elements 9???  Help please - how do I make it reference the new version???

    I have a MAC and use IPHOTO and had used Adobe Elements 9 as the external Editor and IPHOTO as default.  NOW I upgraded to Adobe elements 12 and IPHOTO only recognoizes Adobe Elements 9???  HOW do I make it go to the new external editor??  I appreciate any help you can provide?

    You need to reset the external image editor in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to the right version. I assume there's an Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 folder in your Applications folder.  This screenshot is for PSE 10 but would be the same for 12:

  • HT1338 I paused the update of iPhoto.  Now I do not want to update it, but it will not let me stop the update or use iPhoto.  What can I do?

    I paused the update of iphoto.  I now do not want to update it , but I can not use the iphoto because it says I am updating.  What can I do to stop it?

    FInd the original installer discs you have iPhoto on. By the way, your signature makes no sense for the forum you are in, nor the knowledgebase article you posted the question from.
    HT1338 discusses the Mac App Store, not available till mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
    Mavericks is Mac OS X 10.9 and later.
    Your signature says you have 10.2.x.
    Lacking further info, we can't give you concrete information.  Where did you get iPhoto from?  The App Store or an installer CD of iLife, or the installer disc that came with your iMac?
    What operating system do you really have installed?
    Did you backup your data before attempting to install?  If not, that was very bad judgement on your call, as anything can fail at anytime once you begin an install.

  • TS1292 How come it doesn't show the amount of money there is s gift card?  I tried putting in the code more than once, but all it says is that the card has already benn redeemed?

    How come it doesn't show how much money there is left in my iTunes gift card?  I have tried putting in the code more than once, but all my tablet says is that the card has already been redeemed.

    I haven't got access to the server right now (so I can't provide the complete details), but something like 6-700 GB (which is more than it shows in the client time machine windows, but less than what is true (which was around 1,5 TB))

  • The urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons warned that"Incompatible Add-ons Found" and won't work until made compatible but how do I make them"compatible?"

    When I tried to respond to the urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons I was stopped by a screen that said "Incompatible Add-ons Found" It identified two add-ons, Move Media Player 1.0.0.07103010 and Real Player Browser Record Plugin 14.0.3 that would be disabled. It said that "as soon as they are "made compatible" Firefox will update and re-enable these add-ons" It is not clear who is to make them compatile. I have no idea how to make them compatible and I don't even know what they are for. I don't want to lose any functionality as the result of an update, so what should I do?

  • HT201210 I have tried to update to IOS6 and it has prompted me to connect to ITunes but when I do I keep getting the message ' There is no sim card inserted in the Iphone you are trying to activate'.  My phone is now locked on the IOS6 update screen!

    I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen. 
    My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
    It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'.  Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today.  I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
    I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
    Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.
