Why am I having trouble with iphoto?

Can someone walk me through opening iphoto?

So iPhoto opens but the photos are not showing up. That's a different problem altogether. Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
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.

Having trouble with iphoto, will not print full image

Having trouble with iphoto on my laptop and desk top computers. On laptop will not let me print full image and having trouble getting correct rotation to print
On desk top printing too dark and cannot get correct rotation there either, seems like the problem just started recently

Ronleedek-
What App are you using with the microphone? I've used Skype, which has a "test call" feature to check your microphone.
There is a good chance your microphone is defective, possibly disconnected inside the iPad. If an Apple Store Genius can not fix it, you may get a new iPad on the spot.

I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.

1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
FWIW
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
Alternative approach:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

Why am I having trouble with my keyboard?

Ever since the IOS 6 update, I have been having trouble with my keyboard. I type a word and press space bar, then type the next word but it doesn't recognize the fact that I typed the space bar. It lights up as a mispelled word. It has done with numerous times. I then have to go back, highlight the area, and choose two separate words when the auto-correct options appear. It is very annoying. Anyone else having this issue????

If the App store app is crashing see:
IOS 6 App store crash: Apple Support Communities
For othe other problems try:
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why am i having trouble with one of my iPod touch's game and playing it online

Ever since I got the iOS 6 update on my fourth generation iPod touch;I have been having a hard time playing Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies online. I can manage to get it to try to connect me to the room or whatever but then it says it had an error in joining the room. Sometimes I try to play and the app kicks me off and leaves me on my iPod's home screen D= Does anyone nknow why my game may be doing this? I paid $7 for that game =_=

I am having this exact same problem. Except I am using an iphone5. I can play solo just fine, but when I try to play online, game center connects me to other players, then it says "Connecting to online services" then it says "error on joing room" and boots me back to the main menu.
It doesnt matter whether i'm on my work or home wifi, I always get the same error.
btw, the orignal call of duty zombies works fine online. I'm only having issues with the black ops version

Best method of formatting? - having trouble with iphoto/aperture thumbnails

I've recently installed SL on my wife's MB - all good except now her iphoto thumbnails won't show. I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library (and all other options - but nothing). When i installed SL i did a full reformatting of the HD and I wonder if i perhaps didn't choose the best method - anyone got any ideas??

Why am I having trouble with my iPad recognizing a new Apple ID?

I have read the discussions, have followed several suggestions and leads, but when I enter my existing apple id and password (which have been successfully changed online) the iPad still wants the new address to be verified. It has been and the next screen even tells me the new id has beenb verified, but the iPad still asks for this again. What a merry-go-round! I have checked the other apps to see if the old id is still signed in, I have quit all apps, I have restarted, I have verified that the id works using other equipment. Now what?

Start with:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Why am I having trouble with Internet connect?

I have just set up a broadband connection using a USB modem on my phone line. I have to reconnect each time I wake the computer from Sleep as the Modem gets its power supply through the USB port. Sometimes it takes several attempts to establish a connection. I have checked the configuration (several times). Is the problem most likely to be:
a) With Internet Connect ?
b) With my ISP?
C) With the modem?
G4 ibook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G4 ibook

My guess, the modem.
It's probably taking some time for the USB modem to power up, perform its startup tests, load its configuration and be ready to respond to the network.
It's one of the reasons I never recommend USB DSL routers.
If the modem supports direct power (vs. being powered by the USB line) you can try using that - at least that way the modem won't power down and need to do its whole startup process again. Either that or replace the USB modem with an ethernet-based one that won't have this problem.

Why am I having trouble with an adobe webfont?

I am using the playball font on quite a few of my pages and it changes sometimes to a different font or it just does not display the content written in that font. Does anyone know why this is doing this?

Hi,
Are you using Chrome? Please see http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/chrome-33-webfont-workaround-1
Also note that once Chrome fixes the issue you'll want to remove the suggested workaround and re-publish the site.
Thanks,

Having trouble with disc space on my 120G mac air. I back up to a separate my passport for mac disc, but my mac is also holding 40G worth of back up when i check what is using space. Why is this?

Having trouble with disc space on my 120G mac air. I back up to a separate " my passport for mac" disc , but my mac is also holding approx 40G of back ups as well when ive checked what is using space. Why is this?
Ive started running iphoto from the separate passport to save space,
and put all my music into the itunes match to save space as well
but it is still saying it is almost full because of the back ups!
I should of bought a bigger mac, but i need to make do at the moment, but it is hard when it constantly has only 10G or less space left.

When you use TimeMachine to back up a Mac notebook the local backups feature is automatically enabled. The local backup is just like a TimeMachine backup but it is done to the internal drive rather than an external. The important thing about local backups is that the feature is smart - as you need more drive space for your own data and applications, TimeMachine automatically culls the local backup to give you that needed space. So yes, it will look like you have very little drive space left and that the backup is 'robbing' you of needed GBs. But it really isn't.
