Why are there some blank boxes where photos should be? maverick and iphoto 11

Upgraded to Maverick and iPhoto 11(ver 9.5) and now some of the boxes in photos and events have no photos in them. Tried rebuilding thumbnails and repairing database, but no change. Mistakenly, I closed out screen that first appeared when iPhoto opened for first time that asked permission to do some task and perhaps this is the cause of the problem?

Do you have a backup copy of the library from just before you upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5?  If so restore it to your Pictures folder and try again to open it with iPhoto.
Otherwise, run the first aid again and select the last option, Rebuild Database.  See if that helps.  If not try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,                         
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Trouble emailing photos with osx Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.

    I select the photos to share, select my Gmail account, and then insert recipient's email account.  Everytime I hit "SEND", the "TO:" box goes blank, erasing my recipient's email address and an error message comes up saying that my recipient's email address was not correct (and it is a valid email).  Any help???

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • HT4623 Why are there some purchased albums that can't be downloaded?

    There are several albums that I bought and need to download, but when I go to the album, it says "purchased" and there's no option to download. I also went to purchased albums, and it isn't in there.

    Because the developers do not make them available in all countries.
    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( as proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) AND you can ONLY buy while inside the borders of that country.

  • Why are there dozens of "web process" pop ups after wipe and load of 10.6.8 on Mac Mini by Genius Bar?

    I just had my Mac Mini (early 2009) in at the Genius Bar as it was running very slow.  They did a multi hour scan of the harddrive, etc.  Did not find any hardware problems.  They did a wipe and loaded 10.6.8 on the Mini.  The Apple folks were great to work with.  I picked it up today and and set it all up.  Using Safari, I am now going through 6-12 "Web Process" with each and every web page I go to!!  Safari is completely unusable in this fashion.  Can this be changed or must I use a different web browser. 

    Good morning,
    Not quite sure what you mean by 6/12 'web process' with every page I go to.  The version 5.1.7 is correct for the Snow Leopard OS X.
    Run a software update, just in case the geniuses didn't, and check if you or they have installed any Safari extentions.   If so delete / disable them all and try again.
    If Safari then shows signs of normality, reinstall the extentions one at a time until you find the one that is causing the problem.
    Oh, and have you got 'Block pop up windows' checked in Safari menu?

  • Word of Caution to Apple: Snow Leopard is one of your best programs ever invented by you.  Why are you looking to discontinue it? Both your Maverick and Lion programs failed due to breeches in its security unlike Snow Leopard!

    Snow Leopard is one of the best MAC programs ever invented by Apple. So, I wanted to find out why Apple has chosen to discontinue there best working, and greatest, most stable Mac Program they have ever invented.  In all honesty, Apple's Lion and Maverick programs have been disastrous due to recent serious security breaches in these new programs, which did not occur with any of Apple's Snow Leopard users like myself. Part of good business is sticking with programs that are enduring and will out last the test of time and technology.  
    Also, Snow Leopard has proved itself by passing in terms of protecting us "Snow Leopard" users from any security breaches and other problems that have affected both your newer Lion and Maverick programs with all its great technology. Continuing to go in the direction as Apple is going in relation to our Snow Leopard Mac program (by discontinuing this great program as well as support for it) I believe could prove to be a huge and fatal business mistake.  Consider enhancing Snow Leopard; in other words continue to build on such positive potential in this way more stable program than your newer ones.  Again, please re-consider your decision(s).  Any thoughts?

    Apple isn't listening here. (I should point out however, that your premise that Snow has stronger security is not correct. The gotofail error in 10.9 was a one-off and the OSs above 10.6 have greater sandboxing for security.) I still think Snow is a great OS and should receive continued support. It will inevitably become less secure without that.

  • HT204150 Why are there contacts on my iPhone that are not on my Mac (syncing through iCloud)

    Why are there some contacts on my iPhone (and my older Mac) that aren't getting synced onto my new MacBook?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Why are there no favicons for many of my bookmarks? Where there was a favicon, a blank box with a dotted outline now appears.

    Why are there no favicons for many of my bookmarks? Where there was a favicon, a blank box with a dotted outline now appears.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • HT1386 why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    Those files should be being created in folders of the form:
    <User's Music>\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache|Download\<GUID>\<##>\<##>\<##>
    The <GUID> in your case is 0CDB362F24AD473A...
    If they are appearing anywhere else I would suspect a permissions problem. iTunes just spits them out where it can. Similar problems can sometimes cause it to drop files on the desktop.
    Repair Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    Once you've repaired the permissions search for all files of the form *.itc2 in the music folder and delete them, then start iTunes. iTunes will rebuild the artwork cache in the correct location as you scroll through your library.

  • Why are there two lines showing when I  switch off my iPad where the cancel word is?

    Why are there two lines showing on my iPad when I turn it off where the cancel word is.

    You wrote:
    "I have noticed that on my IPad Calendar, that on some of the scheduled appointments it is showing Phoenix as a time zone. On some it is showing Salt Lake City, and then on others it will show Denver. I can't quite see why or understand why that this is an issue since everything is set to Salt Lake City. On the ones that show up with Phoenix as the time zone the times change. Also I have had some of the times showing on the calendar at an hour different that when I open the Appointment. It will show the correct time, but on the Calendar it is sometimes different. "
    From that information, it makes sense that your calendar is off.
    Phoenix is in another time zone part of the year.   When daylight saving changed, Salt Lake City and Denver changed, but Phoenix did not.   You may have set time and date to auto, but the Mac knows the time difference and is compensating for it.

  • HT201317 Why are there more photos on my Photo Stream on my ipad than on my iphone?

    Why are there more photos on my Photo Stream on my ipad than on my iphone?
    Also, how can I push photos from photo stream to my ipnone?

    Probably because you enabled photo stream on your iPad before you did on your phone.  Photos are only maintained in photo stream for 30 days, although photos outside of this limit will remain on your device.  If you enabled photo stream on your phone later, some of the photos were probably no longer in photo stream to sync to your phone.
    To get them on your phone, import them to your computer and sync them to your phone, or use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer them to your phone.

  • Hello! Why are there staircase-shaped artefacts with jpegs in Lightroom (invisible in other programmes)?

    Hello! Why are there ugly staircase-shaped artefacts with jpegs in Lightroom? They're mostly on edges of red subjects and I can't find them in other programmes or software...

    If you have the photos on your camera cards, then obviously you can simply copy them to the appropriate locations.
    There are Lightroom plug-ins that can retrieve the preview that Lightroom uses, but these will be smaller and lower in quality than the original. Maybe one of our plug-in experts can suggest the proper plug-in.
    If the hard disk is really going bad, as I speculated, you would definitely want to get it replaced. If that is the case, you don't want to keep using it. You might want to run some disk diagnostics on it.

  • Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in Home Directory? My Mail alerts, etc

    Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in my Home Directory? Since upgrading to Mountain Lion most of my sounds are not working, in my Mail alerts, etc.

    Did you put any sound files there? Because if you didn't, that will explain why it's empty.
    The ~/Library/Sounds folder is where any sound files that you add go, and they are only available to you as the "logged in" user (if you have other users with their own accounts, they each have their own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Apple doesn't put anything there.
    The sounds that come with Mac OS X will either be in the /Library/Sounds folder (which is the shared location for all users) or the /System/Library/Sounds folder (don't mess around with anything in the /System folder!).
    But I doubt your problem has anything to do with the sound files. Try deleting your sound preferences file, or even just clicking around in the Sound system preferences until they start working again (seriously - I had one Mac that had some audio problems after upgrading, and just turning things off and on a few times eventually worked. It seemed somehow tied to Dictation, so try twiddling those settings too).
