Why didn't iphoto edits get saved on my WD passport?
I saved my iphoto library on a WD Passport. But when my old iMac (iMac G5, OS X 10.4.11) crashed and I transferred the library from the Passport to the new computer (minimac 2.4, OS Leopard), only the photo originals showed up, not the edits. What happened? I hate to think of having to go through the whole library and re-edit.
What exactly did you transfer to the external disk and how?
Did you test to see that this transfer had gone correctly?
What exactly did you transfer to the new machine and how?

I am using iPhoto 7.1.1 with OS 10.5.1
I scanned some old photographs (they are in jpeg) and have been editing them using iPhoto. When I crop and straighten the scans, those changes are saved and are seen in the thumbnails.
When I make changes in the contrast, sharpness, etc using the adjust button, the changes appear on the image but are never transferred to the thumbnails.
After I leave the editing mode the changes I made to the image are no longer there. When I open up the editing tools and click the adjust button then, the changes I made are there.
I have tried exporting the image to see if the edited image would be transfered and it was the unedited image. I have also tried to drag the picture and same result (non-edited picture)
After seeing others posts on this, there appears to be a bug in the software.Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. See if this will help.
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 does not the data get saved into the Database
Please check if there is any thing wrong with my code here. Why cant i save the data in to my database. when i used the same things in other places it works.
guys i have copied a portion of the code here. right now i have commented few areas to not give me any errors on the whole program
Please check why cant i save the data into the database.
i have created a seperate class for database connection Utilities
void saveData()

}Yes you have commented all the code that update the
database so how can it update the database.
By the way for inserting dont use Statement use
PrepairedStatement
by the way next time please post codes in code tagsMan i have commented it becaues it if i dont comment it givens me errors. like cannot find variable and i dont understand how to use the code button. whereever i click the code button it displays the at the end of the code! what to do?
connection = ut.getConnection();
ResultSet resultSet;
UpdateStmt = connection.createStatement();
UpdateStmt = connection.createStatement();
UpdateStmt.executeUpdate(ChangeRecord);
please check it once again
void saveData()
Utilities ut = new Utilities();
connection = ut.getConnection();

Why are my "info" edits not saving on purchased songs?
when I edit the song info on "purchased" songs on the iTunes on my new iMac the info reverts back to original after I shut the mac down. I never had this issue in 10 years of iTunes experience on my old pc. It only happens with iTunes purchased songs...when I upload a cd, it stays how I list it.
Welcome to the forum.
I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
Good luck,

i thought ipad2 was going to get siri with ios7. i bought my ipad2 from apple a few years for $800 i don't think its fair that the updated version that came out two months after i bought mine gets to have all the new features. the guy at the ipad store should have told me the new one was coming out.i guess he couldn't wait for the sale.
Siri has never been supported on the iPad 2, no software update will change that, and this has been known for quite some time.

Why didn't firefox bring up the tabs saved from last session?
Why didn't Firefox load my saved tabs in my new session?
In Firefox's address bar (location bar), enter '''about:sessionrestore'''
If there is a session that it's able to restore, the tabs will be shown on this page. -
Editing documents saved as PDF
Why can't I edit documents saved as PDF? Last week I was able to save them and then edit them. Today I can only view them.
Hey johnfromnew malden,
First off, do you have all of your files backed up?
Have you ever replaced the hard drive?
Try starting up in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key while booting. Continue holding the Shift key until you see the login window. It may take 5 or more minutes to start up as Safe Mode will try to repair your hard drive if there are issues.

INTRO: I have used iPhoto for many years (since iPhoto 5 I believe). As a non-professional photographer, I have been very happy with the application, as it has let me do most operations I need: Photo organising, adjustments of light, levels, contrast, colour balance, straightening and crop. (I haven't even had the need for Photoshop Elements for several years.)
I usually make some adjustments to each and every shot – some big and some small – before exporting as a high quality JPEG for uploading to Flickr or other places I use them.
PROBLEM: I have recently upgraded to a new Mac and iPhoto '11, and have been using this version happily for about a month now. Earlier this week, straight out of the blue, iPhoto has decided "all by itself" to stop saving edited/adjusted/cropped JPEG exports of my Nikon RAW photos, and instead only saves the unedited version as a JPEG. None of my crops or light/colour adjustments get saved anymore! (I first noticed when a closely cropped shot came out uncropped, and a shot I'd converted to black/white came out in full colour.)
(Strangely enough, it seems iPhoto treats "original JPEGs" differently, as shots from my non-RAW cameras get exported with my edits preserved.)
Has anybody else experienced the above described problem with exporting photos? Is it a bug, or is it some setting somewhere that I am not aware of? If I can't resolve this issue, I will have to stop using iPhoto and find a new "photo lab" and establish a new workflow. I hope I don't have to.
Best regards,
Jørgen in Oslo, NorwayHi again, Terence, and again thanks for your advice.
I tried the Rebuild Library operation during the weekend, but having some 160 GB (1400+ events and 20000+ photos from 2007–2011) in my main (corrupted) iPhoto library, the operation seemed like it would be taking the whole of Saturday and maybe Sunday as well. I started the rebuild in the morning, iPhoto Library Manager chewed its way slowly through my photos, but iPhoto kept crashing every once in a while (especially often if other applications were running at the same time). When it had been working for about six hours, the import part was finally finished, but the metadata rebuilding process looked like it would be taking hours still, and I really needed to get to work on some other things on the same machine. So unfortunately, I had to abort.
Thus, on Sunday morning, I changed strategies: I decided to use iPhoto Library Manager to break off a smaller subset of my gargantuan problem library to a new library. I had already made a full manual backup of the corrupted Library to a USB external hard drive beforehand (and I also have continuous Time Machine backups), so I am pretty lax with "destructive" stuff right now, as long as they can fix my problem. This is how I'm working now:
I created a completely fresh and empty iPhoto library, and used iPhoto Library Manager to move a handful of recent iPhoto events from the corrupted library. I have now tried some edits and exports, and the new library is behaving healthy at the moment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed – if things work as good as they seem in the days to come, I will split up my entire, corrupted 2007–2011 library into separate sets. (Maybe one or two for each year.)
And in the future, I have decided to make a new iPhoto library every 1st January and 1st July. -
I accidently closed the window with all my frequently used app tabs, now the only window that opens was an extra one I had opened. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab? edit
DetailsThen the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

Why isn't my last import saving? I can import the pictures from the memory card, but if I close out iPhoto the just "imported photos" are nowhere to be found. Please help
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. .

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: 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.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Why does my iphoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of the times when I try to exit it to the point where I have to "force quit" it and how do I fix the problem that causes it?
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
does this only happen when you try to quit iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???Welcome to the forum.
I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?

When I try to email photos from iPhoto I get this message: The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. It won't let me change it, what do I do?
Can you send email ok via the Apple Mail application?
The username and password are set in the Accounts section of the Mail application. Start Mail, select preferences and select Accounts. Then make absolutely sure that the username, password and outgoing mail server are entered correctly.
