Unable to move, edit, or view larger versions of any of my saved photos!

As I was working on a photo slideshow in iMovie I realized none of the photos from my camera that I had saved in iPhoto were showing up in iMovie. Images I had copied from the internet into my iPhoto were working so I went to iPhoto to look at the pics from my camera and found that I could not open them, edit them, organize them, or drag them to the desktop. I can still see the thumbnails but all of the pictures I have had on iPhoto for years are suddenly not working. Thankfully I backed everything up a week ago, but any advice or help would be very appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happens when you double click on the thumbnail of one of the misbehaving photos? What do you see? A blank window?
Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I am unable to move songs to my iphone...any suggestions?

I am unable to move burned songs to my iphone, and some songs that were purchases on itunes from my PC. I am able to drag them to my ipod touch, but receive a red circle with a slash in it when trying to drag them to my iphone. I am signed in to my Apple account, and my computer is authorized. Any suggestions?

Check your "manually manage music and video" box. Probably your ipod is checked but not your iPhone.
Check it and click the Apply button on the lower right window.

[Pre Ele 9] Audio tracks in project are frozen. Unable to move, edit, or even select.

Hello,
This is my first project using Premiere. Great program, when you know what you're doing. Right now, I'm on a modest laptop, Vista 32-bit, 2 gigs of RAM, Dual CPU @ 2.00 ghz. My project consists of .wma files, some .mp3's, .wav's, and some .jpgs. It's a small project, only ten minutes, about 20 clips, some 20 cuts.
I don't know exactly what happened. I was trying to move all my audio files I had to close this gap I made. But I think I clicked group, or link or something by mistake, and now, two of my audio tracks are literally unresponsive. They play perfectly for the preview, but I can't move them. I can't even select them. Right clicking the sound track does nothing. Even weirder is that my Audio 1 track is normal. It's just my narration and soundtrack tracks that are causing problems. I've researched online, and I heard about them being "locked" or "disabled", or something with Keyframes. But I don't think that's it. Or maybe I need more of a noob's guide. I turned on track size and saw the waveform for my audio. It's there, but it's dimmer than my Audio 1 waveform. Also, I tried Render and Replace, but that didn't work. Lastly, whenever I try adding a new audio file in any of the two audio tracks, the program basically ignores it and places it in Audio 1 or even creates a new audio track.
I know I did something so simple, I know I just need to uncheck this tiny little option. Maybe some of you are even chuckling. But please, help me. End this torment.
If you need more information, let me know.
Thank you for your consideration.

I agree with Neale on this one. The Narration and Soundtrack are "fixed" Audio Tracks, and have at least one property, that other Audio Tracks do not have - they cannot be Deleted. Usually, they work just fine, as their names indicate, but then sometimes, they just refuse to work properly. Why? I have never seen a common element, when they just sort of freeze up, or refuse to mix-down their Clips.
Because this behavior has struck several, most of us just recommend NOT using either, and instead, just using an empty regular Audio Track. I cannot recall an instance, when that proceeure did not work. This behavior has been around since about PrE4.0, by my readings, but may have happened to even earlier versions. There is just something in the structure of those two Audio Tracks, that gets "out of alignment," either with certain operations, or perhaps certain Assets.
On the note of "certain Assets," do you happen to have any MP3's on either of those Tracks? They can cause no end to problems, and not just on those two fixed Audio Tracks. If you do have MP3's, take a look at this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unable to move email or view some email in Mail w/ Google Apps

Using Apple's Mail application to access my Google Apps accounts via IMAP.
I'm having two problems:
1. I cannot view any email messages in any subfolder of my account when working within Mail. Everything shows fine when I log in directly through Google Apps/Gmail. Note that the "Rebuild" option under my Mailbox menu is disabled for whatever reason, so I can't try rebuilding Mail's index/database.
2. I am no longer able to move messages from my inbox to any of my subfolders. It's been this way for a couple days now.
Specifically, I get the following error...
The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to INBOX/1 - Scheduling) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: No folder INBOX/1 - Scheduling (Failure).
...which comes up when I try to move a message from the Inbox to the subfolder "1 - Scheduling".
Any thoughts or suggestions? Both of these things worked for a couple days after I first set this up last week.
So far, I'm too happy with my migration to Google Apps
Frustrated,
Dan

For anyone who's curious, I was able to fix the problem by converting my old folder structure into single-layer labels. I guess Google still chokes on mail that is stored in multiple nested/hierarchical labels because it works fine now.
So NOT a good "solution", but at least it works in all email clients now.

How do I edit to view most if not all of my original photo in idvd??

idvd is cropping my images so that only a very small portion is showing. I have already resized to the size suggested by idvd and still encounter the same issue. Please help.

Where is this happening? In a menu's drop zone on when you play the slideshow? If it's the latter go to the iDVD's advanced preference pane and check the box titled "Always scale slides to TV safe area".

That will get you this:

Aperture+Unable To Move Library

Hello All,
I'm trying to copy my Aperture 3 Library ( 807 GB ) to another larger internal drive, every time i try a Finder copy of it, it runs untill its copied about 2.67 Gb and then stalls
Unable to move it to the other drive !
Any help would be great
Thanks
Darren

Well this sounds more like a system issue than an Aperture one. To the Finder an Aperture library is just another collection of files and folders.
A few things that might help. First run the Aperture permissions and repair on the library before doing the copy just to insure the integrity of the library . Second make sure the drive your copying to is formatted OS X Extended. Third run Disk Utility and run repair on the destination drive. Fourth close Aperture or at least have it opened on another library when you do the copy. If files are open it might interfere with the copy. Finally If you're still having problems you could try reformatting the destination drive.

We are unable to open a Pages 5.0.1 document in Pages 4.2 and retain ability to edit all aspects of the document. I have tried saving the 5.0.1 version as Pages '09 and am still unable to open it in the earlier version of pages. Help?

No, it isn't. Pages 5 isn't compatible with Pages 4.3 as it is lacking more than 90 features that Pages 4 has. So when you open a Pages 4 document in Pages 5 only the simplest documents will look the same in Pages 5.
Pages 4 can't open Pages 5 documents at all!! You have to export back to Pages 09 as I said above.
You probably will be more happy if you just use Pages 4 (Pages 09). There are many threads in this forum that describes the lack of compatibility between the two versions. Pages 5 is in my view not Pages anymore.
If you don't desperately need Pages 5 for moving documents over iCloud to new iOs devices don't use it.

I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so. My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album. After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location. What am I doing wrong? I know this should be a simple thing to do. Thanks

Jimmy RG
In the Elements Organizer 13
The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
in the line up of thumbnails.
Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

An error occurred while downloading a larger version of this photo for editing. Please try again later.

I've moved to photos from iphoto and for a while all was good. And quite exciting. My entire 15k photos have migrated and are available on all my devices.
Suddenly, I get this warning when I select or try to edit a photo: Cant Download Photo: An error occurred while downloading a larger version of this photo for editing. Please try again later.
There is an exclamation mark and a warning triangle on the picture. I am only able to test on my ibook as my Imac is out of action.
If I log in to icloud in Safari, I can down load the full sized image no problem. Any one got any ideas?

Well stone me, it's started working. Nothing changed on my side..... go figure.

"Unable to Move Messages" (Edit deletions message)

When I check multiple messages for deletion in my IMAP inbox on my iPad or iTouch, I get an instant screen message:
"Unable to Move Messages. The messages could not be moved to the mailbox trash."
The selected messages do disappear from the stack but what is this message trying to tell me?
Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks for the reply. It would be helpful if you could suggest what might be a better place to ask this question?
Upgrading my 6 devices to Lion has been unimaginably costly, time consuming and frustrating and it's not to easy to understand what might be causing what.
Maybe there should be a forum for Query Triage? ;-)
Any ideas?

Unable to move or copy from one library to another

Hi All,
I am unable to move my documents from one share point document library to another. I open both the libraries in Explorer view and try moving or copying. But i am getting this below message. please see below image.

1. What’s the size of the folder you need to move? Is it larger that 50MB?
2. What’s the version of operation system you are using? Is it Windows Server 2003 or Vista or XP?
If the answer is yes, please try to copy and paste a file which has smaller size to see if it will work. If it works, you can refer to this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900900
to modify the registry keys to solve the problem
1. Click “Start”, click “Run”, type “regedit”, and then click “OK”.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
3. In the right pane, right-click the “FileSizeLimitInBytes” value, and then click “Modify”.
If you cannot see the “FileSizeLimitInBytes” value, right-click the blank space in the right pane, click “New”, click “DWORD Value”, type “FileSizeLimitInBytes”, and then click “OK”.
4. In the “Edit DWORD” Value box, click to select the “Decimal” option. In the box under “Value data”, type a value that is larger than the size of the file that you want to download. Click OK.
Note: The default value for the file size limit is 50000000 bytes.
5. Quit Registry Editor. Restart the computer.
Hope this helps.

Unable to move photos between albums in search mode

I am unable to move picture between albums when I have done a search for a title etc. eg. search for 'Leeds' brings up 20 pics one album and 15 in another, but the two albums are several years apart (possibly 100's of rolls!).
Why am I unable to then drag the pics from one roll to another? Is this a known issue? Very annoying when dealing with various project over various years and the only way is to drag the pics all the way down, often getting lost!!
Any advice?
Thanks

You may be able to do it as follows:
1 - assign a unique keyword to each of those files. Something like "AAAAAAAA" will stand out when you're looking for it.
2 -set the view options to View keywords only.
3 - set the sort option to sort by keyword.
4 - now look for that unique keyword, select them all and create a new roll. To see the new roll you'll have to reset rolls to be viewed.
If there are more than one keyword for those photos, the the first keyword assigned to that photo will determine where it falls in the listing of photos. So it's best if there are no keywords other than the unique one.
Do you Twango?

IOS 4 Error: "Unable to Move Messages" when Deleting Multiple Messages

Using an iPhone 4 and IOS 4.x (all versions to date including 4.1) if I'm in the All Inboxes view and use Edit to select multiple messages from more than one Exchange account and then delete them I get the following error:
Unable to Move Messages
The messages could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.
Deleting multiple messages from a single Exchange account is fine, but when selecting messages from more than one account the message pops up as many times as messages I'm trying to delete. I currently have three Exchange accounts on both 2003 and 2007 servers. This issue persists across multiple iPhone 4s as well as after a complete restore and manual setup of the Exchange accounts from scratch.

Not sure if this will work for the first poster, but it might for you, Busta999.
I have my email set up as an IMAP account and was getting the same "unable to move..." message for individual deletions. I suspected the problem for me had to do something with the trash bin on the phone and the trash bin on the server not communicating properly. I tried this and it worked for me, although from other posts, I see it doesn't work for everyone:
1. Go to "Settings"
2. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
3. Select the mail account in question
4. Select "Account Info"
4. Select "Advanced"
5. Select "Deleted Mailbox"
6. Under "On My Server", Click the "Trash" folder (or whatever your trash folder is called on your server). This should put a check mark beside it.

Unable to move, edit, or view larger versions of any of my saved photos!
