When I open events all I get are thumbnails and black screen.

I've used iPhoto on my Macs for years. But now when I open any photo in an even or album, all I get is a black screen with a tiny thumbnail on the right side.
iPhoto help offers no trouble shooting. Solution, please. TIA.

what version of iPhoto?
Try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

When I open Nightly all I get is a small black window that says close firefox

I have Nightly installed on a laptop using Windows 7. I have been using it for nearly a year. This afternoon, when I tried to open Nightly, all I got was a small black window saying "close firefox." I used Chrome to get on the web, downloaded the most recent version of Nightly and tried to open it. Same thing happened. How do I get Nightly back?

Any particular reason that you use the ''(sometimes unstable)'' Nightly version, rather than a stable Release version of Firefox?
Nightly isn't intended to be "used", but rather for users to help the Mozilla developers by "testing" each new build and then reporting any Bugs or 'glitches' they may find. Nightly is between 12 and 18 weeks from the release of a new version of Firefox - the Alpha 1 stage which is 6 weeks in duration.

None of my "paid" books will open in iBooks. They show they are there, but when I open them all I get is a blank page. I have checked all the newbie mistakes. Mavericks will not let me uninstall and reinstall iBooks.

All the books I paid money for will not open in iBooks on my MAC. Mavericks will not let me uninstall iBooks, so I cannot uninstall and reinstall it on my Pro. I have deleted and re-loaded the books and they show in my library (as they always did), but when I open them, all I get is a blank page with three dots at the bottom, flashing in sequence. This does not affect the free books from the book store nor does it affect the PDF I have loaded myself. (I had this problem on my iPad when the latest big software came out about a year or two ago, but I was able to re-initalize the complete iPad from my Pro Book.) I have tried just about everything I can think of, but all to no avail. To save time, I have reset my iTunes password and performed all the other "Apple Tips" in the support section, but after 5 hours I am giving up. Surely someone else must be having the same issue??

Yup, same issue since installing Mavericks. iBooks works fine on my wife's Macbook Pro, but on my Mac Pro none of my purchased (protected) books will open - only the free/unprotected ones.
I'm asked for my AppleID password, but nothing happens when I try to open a purchased and downloaded book. I deauthorized, reauthorized, etc ... nothing. Each purchased book that I double-click gives me a dialog asking for my Apple ID password. Nothing else.
I was already buying more books via Kindle than iTunes and this just seals the deal for me. At least I can read my already-purchased iBooks books on my iPad still...

Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When I open "Pages" all the forms are in spanish. ( I am english speaking) I travel a lot and wonder if the program picked up on me being in Spain or something similar. How do I change it to english?

I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer. I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent. Why can't I see them in QuickTime?

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 have a new MacBook. I want to put my iTunes on it that I previously bought. The solution is to authorise the Mac by going on the Store and authorising it. I press the store link and all I get are products and no link for authorisation?

I have a new mac Book. I want to put my previously purchased itunes on it. The support page says to authorise the new Mac by going into the itunes store and then authorise. I click on store and all I get are products with no link. Can someone advise where the authroisation link is please?

I don't know why but after about an hour the tool bar you rferred to came on its self jsut as the support solution and you have advised and it is now working, but the toolbar just disappears and that is why I could not find the link or correct store link. Weird! But thanks, Gordon

When I open firefox all I get is the page outline the contents of the page is missing

For 2 days now this is all I get when I open mozilla/firefox.I can see the outside frame of the page eg:facebook.But I can't see the contents of the page,It doesn't matter what site I try to access it's the same.I have cleared my cache,cookies,defragged rebooted and nothing seems to work.I even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and still no change.I rely on this browser for a lot of things I do.Help please!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When I open Firefox, all the letters are scrambled up together so I can't read them. The pictures are intact.

I have to use a different browser (Opera) because I can't figure out anything on Firefox. I used it before, and it worked fine, but suddenly started scrambling all the words so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and that didn't help.

Sometimes Firefox is incompatible with your graphics card/chipset driver software, which can manifest itself in strange display glitches. Could you try running Firefox in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to disable the hardware acceleration features, and also deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can hold down the Shift key when launching Firefox to try that. (Note: if Firefox is already running, you can use Alt+f to drop down the File menu then X to exit.)
A small dialog ''should'' appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
Also, you can try pressing Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) to reset the zoom level on the current page in case zoom is a factor.

At the moment i'm trying to uninstall and reinstall firefox because when i open it all i get is a white page. But when I go to uninstall it it says that firefox is still running yet it isn't. Iwould just like some help on this please

I've checked everything that might be running firefox and it isn't running

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

When i look for photos in finder my iphoto library does not appear, but when i open iphoto, all my photos are there, how can i fix this?

this means i can't attach photos from iphoto to emails for example, how can I remedy it?

Of course you can, just remember that iphoto replaces the finder. It's the manager for your photos.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

When I stream airplay all I get is sound and the picture of my screen saver regardless of what is on my screen.

I get sound on my TV when using airplay but only an image of my screen saver not what is on my computer screen.

Well you can save your time powering off your apple TV, Turning on and off your airplay and Apple TV,shutting down your laptop and restarting none of that works.

When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

When I open events all I get are thumbnails and black screen.
