Why are my pics/video in iphoto being moved around?

My iphoto seems to swallow chunks of pics/video and store them in other places, ex. my external hard drive w/o my consent. It was working fine until I installed FCPX, could that have anything to do with it?

No idea - what version of iPhoto?
Why exactly do you think that iPhoto "seems to swallow chuncke of pics/video and store them in other places"?
By default (and extremely strongly recommended) when you import a photo or video into iPhoto it is copies to the iPhoto liberary - it is never moved from the original location (although there is no reason for you to leave it there - it is best to delete it once imported) nor is it ever moved within the iPhoto library unless you do an iPhoto upgrade that re-organizes the library - but since you never directly access your photos or videos within the iPhoto library this has no effect on you - you only access them using the supplied tools (see the user tip on accessing your files) or using iPhoto

Why are photos and videos taken with my iPhone 6 not recognized in iPhoto?

My Mac and my iPhone 6 are both up to date but I still can't upload photos and videos to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. It gives me the message that they are in an unrecognizable format. I have restarted my Mac and tried selecting a few photos at a time to see if there were a couple that stalled the whole process but I get the error message every time. What can I do?

Does it happen with all pictures, or just those taken in low light? If its just low light what you are seeing is "noise" in the image, and there isn't much you can do about it. The resolution of the back camera is much higher than the resolution of the screen, so you should not see grain anywhere within the zoom range of the viewing screen - unless you took the picture using zoom. As the camera does not have optical zoom, when you zoom before snapping all you are doing is using less of the sensor, and that can result in a grainier image.

Why are the emails I sent out being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them

why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).

Why are the folders within my Iphoto Library folder empty when I have 16000 photos in Iphoto.

I discovered this when I went to move my Iphoto library to an external drive. Eventhough I have 1600 photos in Iphoto my Iphoto Library folder only contains 3.5MB and the Attachments, Masters, Previews and Thumbnails folders are empty. Therefore if I drag this folder (Iphoto Library) to my external hard drive which is what every advice site says to do when backing up Iphoto, I will lose all of my photos. When I see screenshots of the Iphoto folder in the support communities I see the Iphoto icon beside the Iphoto Library in Finder-Pictures but I just have a folder icon.
I am using Iphoto '11 on a 2012 27" Imac running Mountain Lion and want to move Iphoto to an external drive to free up space.

Are you saying that iPhoto is working fine and has 1600 photos in it but when you look in the iPhoto library ther are no photos in Masters, previews or thumbnails? If so then you are not looking at the iPhoto library that iPhoto is using - under the file menu do to the switch library command and seelect it - it will show available iPhoto libraries and the one you are using will be highlighted

Why are my pics being automatically rotated from landscape to potrait??

Background: I use a Nikon D90. I have used a Windows machine up until this week, and never had this issue. I spoke with customer service for over an hour trying to resolve this issue, fail. I take pictures of guitars. Every single picture is a landscape picture. I have set Image Capture as my default program to import pictures. When I connect the camera, the program turns all the pictures of guitar necks to portraits. iPhoto did the same, I use Image Capture because I can set a destination for my import. This is the issue. _I want to import my pictures exactly how I take them, all in landscape._
The windows machine never did this. I'm positive it isn't an issue with the camera. Out of all the pictures, it only does this with the guitar necks. I think the Mac is trying to "help" me by rotating my pictures for me. But they aren't pics of trees and they don't need rotated.
What do you guys think?
Can I attach a screenshot? I don't see an option...

I've used windows machine in the past, with the same camera and a few different import programs, and have never had this issue before.
Do those machines/programs support the auto-rotation feature of your camera? That is, if you take a picture in portrait orientation, do they show it rotated?
I'm not sure why the images of the neck are rotated... if, as you say, you took this photo in landscape orientation, with the bottom of the camera toward the ground, then there's no reason for them to be rotated unless your camera has a feature to auto-rotate based on the image content. I'm not finding any documentation of such a feature in a Nikon D90, though I didn't look very thoroughly.
One question: I can't tell from the photos, but it looks like the ones showing the issue could have been taken from above. If that's the case, this could be your problem. If you were shooting from above and took a picture of the body, then moved the camera, then took a picture of the neck, that could cause what I'm seeing. Keep in mind that your camera's accelerometer has no way of knowing that acceleration from movement is different from acceleration of gravity. Sliding your camera to the right on a rig might fool the camera into thinking it was rotated 90° counterclockwise, as shown in the photos of the front of the guitar, and sliding the camera to the left on a rig could make it think it was rotated 90° clockwise, as shown in the photos of the back of the guitar. With the camera pointing straight down, gravity would not re-orient the accelerometer as soon as the movement stopped.
That's just a theory, I have no way of knowing whether the camera would actually behave as I describe.
Is this question in the right forum?
Probably... if you were using iPhoto, it would be better in the iPhoto forum, but you're using Image Capture, which makes it a little less clear-cut.

Why are my pics out of folder order when I sync to my computer

Can someone please explain why when I sync my iphone 4s the pics on my home computer folder are correct and in order but once
I sync to my phone they are scrambled?

Thumbnails always look better because they are smaller and smaller always improves definition. How does the video look when played directly from the camera, say through a TV? I suspect that the video itself is out of focus and you couldn't notice until you blew up the picture.a guess.

Why are my pics mixed up after burning a DVD??

I am new to Mac, and new to burning DVDs on my computer. When I tried to burn a DVD using a burn folder, the pics in various events were completely mixed up, even though I drug the separate event folders from iPhoto to the burn folder. Events, or folders, were eliminated. Every event was "mixed". Next, I tried burning only one event from the "burn command" within iPhoto. Pics within this single event were also completely shuffled...not in their original order. How do I get my pics to copy in their shown order? Also, burning from iPhoto must require me to merge all events? (Can't add other events to the same DVD). Brought back over 300 photos from Puerto Rico. My only "burns" show us crossing the island every which way, back and forth! HELP....

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you burn any files to a disk and view them in the finder they will always be listed alphanumerically. So you will have to rename them in iPhoto and export them to the desktop using the title as the new file name. Use the Photos->Batch Change menu option. The will be retitled and eventually renamed when exported to text - 01.jpg, text - 02.jpg, etc. Once renamed they will be listed in that alphanumerical order when viewed by the system on a disk or in a folder.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why are my exported videos in Premiere Pro pixilated and blurry?

I'm recording game footage with Dxtory (settings below), and once I export the video and uploaded it to YouTube, it's pixilated and blurry.
In the link there are 2 images, the one on the left is a screenshot of a pixilated part of the video, and the one on the right is a non-pixilated portion within the same video.

I used Imgur because Adobe's image uploader reduces the size to 450x605
I have a GTX 780, but I'm not using the 'CUDA' setting under project settings, so I'd assume the Graphics Card doesn't matter.
Thanks for the responses, and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

I recorded and uploaded in 29.97 fps, but for sake of argument, I've rerecorded a 30 second clip in 30 fps recorded, and uploaded in 30 fps.
Here's the link: http://youtu.be/jyZKvCTrOsU
The render settings were mostly matched by source, with the following:
1920x1080 resolution
30 fps
field order: progressive
aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
TV Standard: NTSC
Profile: Main
Level: 4.1
I then used VBR, 1 pass with 30 Mbps for target and maximum bitrate.
Sadly, the issue persists. I am completly lost as to what this issue is, and am unsure why I'm getting the issue, but other YouTubers don't (when uploading game footage).

Why are my pictures in PSE 6 being reduced in size after adjustments

Hi:
I have the MAC version of PSE 6 .
I just noticed that my file size is being reduced.
The file is 3.7 mb and when I save it it reduces to 907k.
I have a issue with a picture I was working on the last time I use PSE and am not sure what happened or what I changed.
That picture was fine and so was the file size for that picture when I transfered it to iPhoto.
I am not that knowledgeable with computers and cannot figure out what is wrong or what I did.
If someone could help me I would appreciate it.
I made all the adjustments to the picture and it shows as 33.3% on the top of the file when I open it now.
I saved it to my desktop and transfered it to iPhoto and it continues to show it as a reduced file.
Also since I already made all the adjustments is there a way of bringing back the file size without having to start all over again.
thank you,
Greg

Each time you do a save of a .jpg, you reduce the image quality. If you save it as 8, you reduce the image quality more than if you save it as 10 or 12.
For most people, you cannot see the difference between a first edit saved at 8 versus a first edit saved as 12. The exception is if you want to blow up the file to a large size, then the difference between 8 and 12
i may
be visible.
For second and later edits, the quality degradation gets worse than the first edit and may become noticeable. So if you are working with .jpg photos, it is a good idea always to edit the original, not to edit and already edited version.

Why are Java and Video Player updates appearing in Safari

Today these fake Java and Video Player update pop ups started appearing in Safari 6.2.4, in OS 10.8.5. The Java updates say I need version 13 which doesn't exist and the video player pop ups are gray with a red square that resemble the Adobe colors. These are popping up on almost every page I load in Safari.
I've looked in the Launch Daemons folder and that other Launch folder that keeps being recommended in the post that says I don't need to download anything and there is nothing out of the ordinary there. How do I stop these pop ups?

The update alerts are indeed fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they may be the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked.
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. If the fake update alerts stop, see below. Otherwise, ask for instructions.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

Why are songs from the same album being separated in my library?

My library is currently sorted by "Album by Artist." I have 5 songs from a particular album and the library is grouping only 4 of them together, while singling out and listing 1 song separately, just beneath the other 4 songs. The text in the Artist, Album Artist, and Album fields are exactly identical for all 5 songs, so why is 1 being singled out? I've tried quitting and restarting iTunes (version 9.1.1) and this doesn't solve the problem.

If you read the Grouping tracks into albums article you will see that this technique is just one among many and only works in particular circumstances. There will, no doubt, be other steps that you need to take to merge the tracks into a single cover in this case.
