When I try to view the pictures full size it won't go from picture to picture then it locks up.

My iphoto keeps locking up.  When I view pictures and double click on them to see them larger it just freezes up and I can't do anything else.  I have to quit iPhoto altogether and start over.

1. You'll need a lot more free space than 12 gigs.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
2.
Option 1
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.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

    iMovie crashes when i try to view the project full screen and export it. How do i fix this?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.

    Hi, I have upgraded my iphone 4s to ios7 and now when I am trying to login to app store, it says "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store". When I try clicking on the "Terms and Conditions" in iCloud, it first says "Cannot Connect" and then the following message: "Verification Failed: the certificate for this server is invalid. you might be connecting to server that is pretending to be setup.icloud.com, which could put your confidential information at risk". My wifi is working properly as I have accessed websites from safari. I reset my network settings too and even reset my password. But none of these get my iphone working.

  • When I try to open the downloaded file, a security warning restricts me from opening the file.

    I have the new Motorola Bravo which is on the Android 2.1 system. When I try to open the downloaded file, a warning appears saying "This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed". Is the download corrupt? I would think not, but I am very confused.

    Unfortunately, AT&T disables the ability for its Android phones to install applications that aren't distributed through the Android Market.
    If this phone is not AT&T-branded, then you might be able to enable "Non-Market sources" in the "Applications" section of the Settings app.
    If it is, then you might be able to use the Android developer tool "adb" to install Firefox on your phone (search the web for instructions), or you can wait for our next beta release which should be available through the Market later this month.

  • I am trying copy dvd's (with no luck) to my macbook and then on to an external hard drive.  What appears to be "copied" on the hard drive comes up with an error when you try to view the movies.

    I am new to the Apple community and am having a lot of trouble.  I am using a Macbook Pro and attempting to copy movies to an external hard drive for my husbands upcoming travels.  I have used the "disk utility" and was able to watch the movie from my Pro but have not been able to figure out how to copy it to the external hard drive.  I have a few movies on the external hard drive already but when he tries to view them from his Macbook Air or even the Pro we are unable to do so.  An error message comes up and we are not able to determine what we need to do to fix this.  We are not computer savvy and would appreciate if someone could explain to us how to resolve this problem.  Thank you for all and any help we can get.

    The movies are Dexter that we purchased at a store.  He uses the Air and since it does not have the disk option this is how we were hoping he could view his shows.  We had no idea we would be breaking the law....just wanted to put all of the movies we have purchased  on the external solely for the intent of our viewing. 
    Thank you for your time and help.
    Sorry.

  • Firefox will not let me get on any websites (safe AND not safe), claiming that it "may pose a security threat to your system"; when I try to choose the "proceed unprotected" option, it won't let me.

    My computer's anti-virus software recently expired. A few days later, I went to download a new anti-virus software . . . when I opened up Firefox, I received a warning that claimed Firefox was infected with "Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen", and gave me two options: "Activate XP Security 2011 (recommended)" (this was a $60 charge and required credit card info) or "Continue unprotected (Dangerous)"
    Since I needed to install new anti-virus, I figured I would continue unprotected, download my new software quickly, and remove the virus. But when Firefox opened, it gave me a message saying: "Firefox alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!". Gave me three options:
    1. "Get a copy of 'XP Security 2011' to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)"
    2. "Run a spyware, virus and malware scan" (I already did this)
    3. "Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)"
    I tried clicking on different links, but the same warning kept showing up, even on verified and safe sites. I tried to choose the third option so that I could download my anti-virus software quickly, but nothing happened when I clicked on it - the page reloads and the warning shows up again.
    My computer is still without anti-virus software because Firefox will not let me surf the internet. Please help!

    It sounds as though your PC is infected with fake antivirus software. The detailed cleanup instructions vary depending on which fake AV you have. However, as a first step, try this:
    Download the following on a different PC, copy them to a USB flash drive or CD, and then run them on the infected PC:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    Hopefully these will get you back online safely. If not, search for clean-up instructions for the specific malware.

  • HT4528 I keep getting an error when I try to update the software.  My phone won't work.  What is going on with it?

    I received notice that my phone had a software update.  When I tried to do it, it said there was an error.  Now I can only connect to the Wifi at home or if a store has a guest account.  I can't make calls or receive calls.  My text won't work.  I am so confused.  How do I fix my phone??

    Hello mjlamonea
    If the update had an error, then check out the article below to restore your iPhone. It will walk you through putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then using iTunes on your computer to restore it. If you have a back up through iTunes or iCloud, then your can put that back up back on after you have completed the restore.

  • How can I remove the previous iCloud account of the previous owner even though I bought it from him? And then he locked my phone and said that it was lost. I tried to contact him but I cannot reach him anymore. Please help me guys. :(

    Sorry, but without knowing the Apple ID and password that has been used to set up the phone, you can't set it up with a different Apple ID. The Activation Lock has to be deactivated first. And nobody but the previous owner can do that.

    Guys can you help me?

    No. You have reached Activation Lock, a security feature that can only be signed out from by the original owner. Not even Apple can help you out with this.
    Sorry but the device is useless. Seeing you cannot contact the previous owner then a refund also seems impossible which would have been your only other option.
