When I click on many of my pictures, I get an error triangle.

When I click on my old pictures, I get an error triangle.  How do I restore them so I can view them?

If it's this triangle
that's an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken.  If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library.  When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  need help

    I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library.  When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  But when I have my external hard drive plug in the song will play with no problem.  What do I need to do to play my music without having the external harddrive plug in ????????  Please help

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • When i click on itunes on my ipad2 i get the error ..'cannot connect to itunes store'...i'm able to access podcasts and itunesU but not itunes store. This is very strange as i can access app's store

    when i click on itunes on my ipad2 i get the error ..'cannot connect to itunes'...I'm able to access podcasts and itunes U but not itunes store..my apps store and safari are also working perfectly but don't know whats the issue with i tunes store...i use an airtel broadband connection through a wifi router..pls help

    I was having this problem. The settings on my wireless router was set to hide my IP address so it wouldn't connect. When I changed that, I connected no problem. While this is annoying since I don't want my IP address to be out there, I just switch my router when I need to connect to the App/iTunes Store. Hope this helps. It worked for me.

  • HT1349 When I click on a song in iTunes, I get an error message that the song could not be located.  This just started happening.  Why?  And how can I fix this?

    I have all of my songs on an external hard drive.  It was working fine with iTunes; now when I click on a song, I get an error message that the song cannot be located.  What happended and more importantly, how can I fix this?

    Is this an iPad issue? Not sure where you are "clicking" or how you are accessing. A little more info would help.

  • I can't open itunes when I click onn the icon the message I get is "error new itunes library"

    I can't open itunes..when I click on the icon on my desk top I get the message" error new itunes library". I have windows 7.

    Hi beachy85!
    When you remove iTunes, your music on your computer (and your iPod, too) will be saved.
    Let's try this:
    Go to "Add or remove programs" in Control Panel.
    Find iTunes and QuickTime from this list, and remove them both.
    Then, download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the remainging installation files.
    For information on the WICU, see this:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Then, go to this page, and QuickTime (get the Standalone version, not the one that includes iTunes in the pack):
    QuickTime download
    Then, install iTunes from this page here:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    After you've done that, restart your computer.
    Now, try opening iTunes again. Do you still get that error message, or not?

  • IMDB is listed as an add-on, but when I click on it to install it, I get an error message saying "this add on is not supported by Firefox". I find this very strange, since I have the add-on installed on my desktop--it just won't install to my laptop.

    Compaq laptop with Windows 7 installed. My desktop PC uses Windows Vista SP2. I have the IMDB search engine add-on installed on my desktop, and it works perfectly. When I attempt to install the add-on to my laptop, I get an error stating that "this add-on isn't supported by Firefox and can't be installed". I'm interested in the second one on the page, IMDB by clouserw.

    Hi Judy;
    I understand that you're having problems with certain elements opening up in new windows that contain no content. This most often happens to me when I use control to open links (Forces to open in a new window which for some reason has the javascript: link in the navbar). If you are using CTRL when clicking on links like that: Don't, because that's why you're getting the problem.
    Please let me know if you require more assistance.
    Best regards

  • I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

    When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

    I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
    doesn't accept my credit card.
    Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
    You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
    As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Regards.
    P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
    I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
    As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

  • After recently updating my copy of iPhoto to 9.5.1 I can no longer access my projects; I can see them in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a spinning wheel.

    I recently update my iPhoto software to version 9.5.1 and since the update I have been unable to open any of my projects. I can see the project folders in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a never ending spinning wheel. Any help wouldbe much appreciated.

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

  • Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

  • I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

    I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

    Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
    I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
    Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
    When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
    I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
    Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
    Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
    Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
    Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
    On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
    Good luck!

    The upgraded is only necessary for libraries created with iPhoto '07 or eearlier.  Just double click the library to open it in iPhoto, and let it upgrade, if it has been created by a newr version.
