TS2551 I recently added pictures to iphoto. There are a lot of pictures that are just black voids. I can find the originals, but why is this happening and how can I fix it?

I am very new to owning my macbook. I am lost as to how to fix this. Is this related to the updates that I recently installed?

Check the iPhoto Preferences:
     Advanced -> Importing,
and make sure, that "copy items to the iPhoto Library" is enabled.
Otherwise your imported images will not be stored inside the iPhoto library, and if you move, delete, or rename them, iPhoto cannot access them any longer.
If that is not the problem, please post back and explain more detailed how you are importing and where your iPhoto library is located.
To fix it, if you imported without copying, and iPhoto is missing the originals, you need to put them back, exactly where you removed them from.
Or simply import again with the "copy" option checked.
Regards
Léonie

    If you really do have a Mid 2013 Mac Air model then it is still in warranty, as the standard Apple warranty is one year from date of purchase. So take it into an Apple store and have it diagnosed and fixed under the warranty. There is some type of hardware problem that only Apple can fix.

  • I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

  • Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

    Very strange behavior.  Don't entirely give up on the "Manually Added Items" category ... I have seen things magically appear there even after I've checked and seen nothing there.  I think things got real quirky when Apple released iCloud ... I don't remember extra copies of purchases lingering on my iPhone once transferred to my library before that.  Sure, if I bought an album directly to my iPhone it would stay on there even after I sync to my library, but if I deleted the album from the iPhone it stayed deleted.  Now it seems that there are some phantom copies that come and go with no explanation.

    I've tried deleting the album from both the phone and from iTunes and then redownloading them to both and the same problem occurs.
    If you're re-downloading an album to iTunes and your iPhone, that may perpetuate the problem.  What happens if you completely delete every copy of the album, then just download to your iTunes library and then sync the album to your iPhone from your library?  That should put only one copy on your iPhone.
    A few other things to try:
    1- Completely sign out of your Apple account on your iPhone, then re-sync to iTunes, then sign into your account on your iPhone again.  Maybe throw in a Reset or at least a power OFF/ON somewhere in the middle.
    2- Go to Settings/ General/ Usage, then select Music and when you see All Music, swipe your finger across it and tap the Delete button.  Before doing anything else, Reset your iPhone.  This does not actually delete your music, but seems to clear up some cobwebs left behind (people use this technique to reduce "Other" that swells up over time).

  • My macbook pro keeps getting stuck on a black screen with a visible cursor, why is this happening and how do i fix this?

    I have a mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and I've been noticing a problem lately (I think it used to happen before too but not as often as now). My screen will sometimes go black, and my cursor remains visible. It will stay like this, regardless of button mashing or trackpad tapping and clicking. It usually doesn't stay for too long but the other day it was staying like that for a good 5 minutes before switching back to the password-enter screen. It happens sometimes when the computer goes to sleep but sometimes it suddenly happens in the middle of use, stopping whatever I'm doing and locking me out for a few minutes. I want to know why this happens and how to prevent it from happening (or perhaps there just needs to be a patch?). What is particularly strange is that my girlfriend just bought a brand new Macbook Air and she already has the same exact problem as me.

    Hi. Help please. I was entering an appointment on ICal and it just wiped my entire calendar. Why? And how do I fix without a backup? Is it possible I somehow switched calendars or created a new one? If so, how do I get my old one back? This is mission critical. Cheers

  • Can't access songs in iTunes. There are exclamation marks on about half of my library. When I try to play them I get: "Can't find the file" notice and iTunes asks me to locate each song. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    I had not opened my iTunes in weeks. When I opened it today, most of the songs in my library had exclamation marks beside them and when I clicked on them got the message: "the song could not be used because the original file cannot be found", then asks me if I want to locate it. When I press "locate" tab I am led to iTunes folders and have to hunt around for the song. Some songs I can't find in the folders. Any ideas as to why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
    Help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

  • My Apple TV used to communicate with my iPad. Now it only communicates with my PC. Why would this happen and how can I fix it.

    When I first got Apple tv, I could  view pictures and listen to music off of my iPad and iPod and PC. Months later I can only play and pictures and music off my PC. Help!  What could be causing this problem?

    Check all the devices are connected to the same network.
    Try restarting the iPad and Phone.
    Try restarting the router.
    Check to see if you have interference on your network.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
