TS1192 After all the steps I still have a corrupt iphoto 11 Albumdata.xml file. What next?

I have tried all the steps here, except deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist because I don't have one! I deleted it ages ago trying to do this before and it seems it never created a new one. So, none of this steps work. I want to import my iphoto to Picasa.
I'm using a Macbook Pro 13 inch, 500 gig HDD 2011 version, with Mountain Lion and the latest iPhoto 11. iPhoto has been acting iffy for ages even after repairing permissions, rebuilding the library and every step I can find. So I want to switch to Picasa. Am I going to have to manually import and sort pics to Picasa?

Sorry, I read the article on how to fix the problem if other apps cannot see the iPhoto library, because none of the steps there helped me, and it posted my question here.
My problem is that when I open Picasa and select to import my iphoto library it says that I have a corrupted AlbumData.xml file. It still does this even after all of Apples steps to fix it. I have:
1. Checked and repaired permissions
2. Rebuilt my iphoto library
3. Deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist (but it has not returned)
4. Made a new AlbumData.xml file
5. Removed all special characters from album names in iPhoto
Nothing has worked.
All iLife applications can see my iphoto library fine. Another application, Lyn, can now see my iphoto library, but Picasa still keeps insisting it is corrupted. I believe it is true because iphoto is incredibly slow, freezes every few seconds and crashes if left open for longer than a few minutes (which is why I am switching to Picasa in the first place). It uses up over 60% of my CPU just to stay open and slows my computer down to a crawl, a sticky, lagging infuriating to use crawl.
I would prefer to keep using iPhoto as its convenient for my iphone and ipad which I use daily, but its too much to cope with now.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    I cannot install iTunes.  I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue.  I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success.  Spent all day on this issue.  I am running windows 7.

    Sorry to hear this isn't going smoothly for you. Try  Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have seen some of the suggestions here before but is has taken some users more than one attempt.

    I have had voice mail set up on my phone for 10 years. When I did the last iOS update before 7 I guess it wiped out my voice mail. Can I not set it up myself? I haven't changed my message in years.

  • BPM status is "IN Process" even after all the steps in BPM are completed

    Hi All,
    we have designed a BPM for collection of messages and have a transform step .
    In some cases all the steps in BPM get completed but the status of BPM is still in" In Process"  and in SWWL transaction the status is "Started".
    Even though the status is started we are able to get the desired output.
    Ideally after the steps in BPM get completed the status should be "Completed".
    please suggest why we are  getting this status and how can this be resolved.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rajesh

  • Forgot my passcode on iPhone 5s, have followed all the steps advised-still not working

    I have forgotten my passcode to my iPhone 5s.  When I go to restore the iPhone through my iTunes on my mac, it keeps saying that I need to turn off 'Find My iPhone'.  Obviously realizing that I can't do that without my passcode, I checked discussions up here for the relevant steps.  I've followed these steps several times; turned my phone off, erased my iPhone devise from iCloud, and tried turning it back on again, reconnecting to my mac and restoring, BUT it continues to tell me that I need to turn off my 'Find My iPhone' from the device.
    If anyone could suggest anything, I would really really appreciate it.  Going crazy trying to unlock it.
    Thanks

    Hello there, celloplayer93.
    When unable to turn off Find My iPhone from the device itself, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information on how to do so:
    iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
    Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
    If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com. 
    Note:    You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup. 
    Turn off the device you want to remove.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). 
    If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button  next to the device. 
    If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Yosemite has totally wasted my iPhoto library.  It took me ages to retrieve from my external hard drive but now all the events seem to have been corrupted.  Not loading thumbnails either.

    I have a late 2013 27" iMac and I recently upgraded top Yosemite.  Mostly I had no issues apart from iPhoto where I couldn't retrieve my iPhoto files.  I finally managed to do it but all of my event names look corrupt (certainly not how I saved them and it keeps falling over.  What can I do to return it to how it was in Mavericks?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)
