  • The disk containing your iPhoto library is running low on space.How is this possible? I have no photos and have never used iphoto and the program is up to date.

    How is this possible? I have no photos and have never used iphoto and the program is up to date. I try to import and drop my pictues into iphoto but nothing happens or I get above statement. Help please!

    Then it's a bogus message and indicates that the default library is damaged.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and use that one.

    When I try to update my iPad 3 4g to iOS 5.1.1, i keep getting error trying to find software update, I've tried several things already, but nothing seems to work.

    Perhaps, iTunes can't communicate with the Apple uodate servers. Temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software would help. Take a look at this.

  • Is anyone having problems syncing iPhoto to iPad 2 after iOS 7.0.3 update? when I click on photos tab, I get a circular dashed loading icon that is perpetually there. It never loads the library

    When I click on photos tab, I get a circular dashed loading icon that is perpetually there. It never loads the library. i dont even see the iphoto content! thx for your help!

    I am certain too that it is possibly the 7.0.3 update. Have you tried restoring from backup? I am uncertain that might work but its worth a try.
    If that doesn't work I suggest that you give feedback to Apple directly. The more about this problem, the quicker it will get resolved.

    How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
    I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
    With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc  if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
    Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
    Thanks in advance

    You are likely forgetting a step.
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Click Edit in the small window that appears
    Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
    Click Restart

  • My Mac is 15 months old and all of a sudden it has started resetting the time and date then I get a message saying not all apps will work because of the pre Jan date any help as to why ? Causing problems with wireless router.

    My Mac book pro is 15 months old and now suddenly it has started resetting the date and time, causing problems with applications and my wireless access. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

    Seems the time isn't being saved to your computer correctly, it may be a corrupt file that isn't saving the time anymore.
    You can move the
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    file out of your Users/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and reboot.
    then go to your System Preferences > Date and Time and set a time server close to your location (or in your time zone)
    (trash the file on the desktop if no ill issues occur later on)
    or you can follow/bookmark these support docs to reset your PRAM and SMC (and for future reference)

    I don't remember exactly where OS X is keeping it time settings now, but I think one of those choices should help resolve your issue and won't hurt anything giving them a shot. Perhaps someone else could refresh my memory.

  • I just bought a mac and have never used one.  I need help.

    i have no idea what i am doing.  I have always used a pc.  now i have a mac mini.

    Stedman1 has posted a great link. I strongly recommend against the Mac for Dummies. At some point the Dummy books began to believe they were for dummies rather than for newbies. The Missing Manual series is very good. If you were a comfortable Windows users the book I recommend is Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Mavericks Edition because it will build on what you already know and understand. Otherwise just get the OS X Mavericks: The Missing Manual version.

  • I keep getting "Sign in to FaceTime" on my iPad, even though I have never used it.

    I keep getting a box to Sign in to FT using my OLD email address.  It asks for my password, which I can no longer remember because I changed it over a year ago.  I am unable to access anything on my iPad because this box continues to appear.  I hit Cancel but the notice comes right back.  I have rebooted the iPad at least 6 times.  Nothing has worked.  HELP!!!

    If you don't use FT, go to Settings>Facetime and turn Off FT.
    While you are there, check the "You Can Be Reached By FaceTime At" and see if your old email address is listed. Uncheck or delete it.
    Also, try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I can access and use the store just fine - but when I try to open iTunes HELP, I just get a blank/white Help box. Any thoughts or ideas? Dee

    Not sure if I have to repeat question, but I cannot access the iTunes HELP from the Store on my PC (Dell laptop/Windows 7) - opens the box, but it remains blank/white, never fills in with HELP information. Any thoughts? dee

    I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

  • When I open Itunes, i get a dialog box saying 'icloud session is closing'. I have never used iCloud and my library is missing (or i am looking at the iCloud library which should be empty).

    How do I know I am on the iCloud, I never signed up for it, and should not be in/on it. How do I get out of the iCloud if I am indeed in/on it.

    Hi,
    Just several ideas to be checked:
    1. Please, verify the prerequisites of Operations Console listed by the following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249696.aspx
    2. Install all the SCOM related system updates.
    3. Clear SCOM Console cache:
    http://systemcenter.no/?p=215
    4. Try to clean up Ops Manager cache on SCOM Management server. To do this stop Microsoft Monitoring Agent service, navigate to SCOM installation path (by default, C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Server) and
    delete Health Service State folder. Start Microsoft Monitoring Agent service afterwards.
    5. If nothing helps, maybe try to reinstall SCOM Console.

  • Why does the "this cable or accessory is not certified..." message continue to come up on my iphone, when I have nothing plugged into my iphone and have never used anything other than the cables that originally came with this iphone?

    As the question says.  This message pops up on my iphone every 30 seconds, even though nothing is plugged in.  I have turned my phone off an on, plugged in the real cable and unplugged it, restarted the ios, nothing works.  This started only after I updated to ios7.

    Check the port with a magnifying glass and a bright light. There may be something stuck in it.
    Best of luck.

  • Why when I open my slideshow do i get the continuous spinning wheel and have to force quit

    why when I try to open my slideshow do i get a continuous spinning wheel that won't go away and am unable to view my slideshow that took me 24 hours to create.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If the problem doesn't persist in the test library then your current library is the culprit.  In that 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.
