Iphoto not saving slideshow settings

HELP! I am DESPERATE!!!!! I have been working on a 45 minute slideshow for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party ALL WEEK. Iphoto is NOT SAVING my settings for the transisions between photos or the time each slide plays for. It is happening at random. No one at Apple has been able to help me...as a matter of fact I thought I was going to really lose it for about the 10th TIME when the last guy I spoke to tonight told me that I needed to speak with an IAPP advisor as he could not help me only being a senior advisor. My questions is WHY THE HECK HAVE I NOT BEEN transferred to an IAPP advisor all week when I have been calling them repeatedly trying to get issue resolved. This was the only person who said I should speak to someone in IAPP. I now have only FRIDAY to get this resolved as the party is at my house on SATURDAY!!!!
I know other people have had some similiar problems (glitches) from searching the internet and yet the people I have been speaking with say they have never had someone call up with this problem.....????
Anyone else out there have this problem and find a way to fix it?
(BTW--they already had me go the route of trashing the psist file and some cache file among other things......)

Terence
Thank you for replying. My ranting was just out of utter fustration of literally sitting at a computer since Sunday redoing and redoing everything in order to have try and have a nice slideshow for my parents rather than just dumping a bunch of photos & music into a slideshow. It loses its punch when things don't fall into the proper place or transition right.....
2 things Apple had me do initially:
move a cache file and psist file out of library to desktop and then into my trash (I then did a secure empty trash)
senior advisor tried to have me duplicate the problem while he was accessing my computer---COULD NOT. He said unless I can duplicate for him he can't help me. He also said that he has never heard of anyone else complain of this & has never heard of anyone making a slideshow so big??? Really? It is 45 minutes with 375 pictures. While a little lengthy I find it hard to believe they are not used to anyone makng a slideshow this long.
Anyways later I called back when I felt I could duplicate issue. I spoke with another rep. He had me change ALL SLIDES from 5 seconds to 1 second and unclick default transition thinking that this could be causing the system to keep wanting to ovverride my manual individual settings if I had any slide less than 5 seconds or another transition. However he also was miffed by the "size" of my slideshow and said that Iphoto slideshow really wasn't meant for something of this size and suggested I use IMovie. While I had never used it I tried it. After spending all day getting the photos in IMovie and in same order I started editing the transitions and slide times....well this was no good because if I changed one thing it caused a ripple effect and changed stuff. Sooooooo I called Apple back and spoke with Senior advisor that told me that this is what Imovie does and I really should not use it for what I was trying to do ....he still felt iphoto slideshow was the way to go. So we went back to iphoto slideshow hoping that the couple of small changes the other advisor had me do had worked....no luck. I then decided to try and start fresh with NEW slideshow, new settings and break up my one big slideshow into smaller slideshows & then eventually dumpt into Imovie......No luck. With about 30 photos I noticed it wasn't saving my slide times again or now the speed of transitions. So the bottom line is that there is a GLITCH with iphoto and I have seem similiar complaints on these forums.
I greatly appreciate your suggestion of trying other apps and would definately do that if I had the time but alas the party is tomorrow and I have only today to get it resolved and redone.
Thank You for Your Time

Why SQL queries are not saving in agentry editor for first publish?

Hello Experts,
In the process of developing an agentry application i have defined SQL steps and saved in agentry editor with out any errors .When i have published definations for first time it is displaying error 'Invalid object some where' in back end SQL log file ,when i have seen in editor some times the query is not saved,some times even it is defined then also the same error.So i have copied the steps and saved again.Now i have done a publish,it is working fine.This is happening only when i implement exchange mechanism(Showing error in ATE getfetch error).But with out exchange mechanism it is working fine.Is this related to the installation of editor plig-in is not correct?. I have done preferences setting in my workspace correctly.
Help me in this regared.Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regard,
Sravanthi Polu

Sravanthi,
For your error: displaying error 'Invalid object some where' in back end SQL log file.. This is happening only when i implement exchange mechanism(Showing error in ATE getfetch error)
Two suggestions (My best suggestion is item 2 below - I think that is where you have the error)
Item 1: Are you using the right encoding? In your Eclipse Editor under the main menu Windows - Preference -> General -> Workspace. What is your Text file encoding set to? Cp1252? Try setting it to UTF-16.
There is a tutorial about this in:
https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/esa_redirect/index.htm?gotocourse=X&courseid=70246375 (Enterprise Academy classes). The course is really a simple < 5 minutes discussion on different types of encoding and why they exist and how to change the Eclipse to what you wanted. SQL is normally done in UTF-16 for 16 bit.
I am assuming that the encoding could be wrong.
Item 2: Another thing that could be wrong is how you specify the SDML (Flunky code).
In your SQL Script: Anything that has the "<<" and ">>" open and close marker is an SDML (Data Markup Language) and needs to be pre-populated before the Agentry Server submits your SQL query to the backend. In essence, this is use to populate the SQL query with predefine information like your userID or location and when the SQL gets process it will populate the script with the correct information.
So if you are not properly using the flunky (ex: <<object.address>> where address is not a key ID in a Fetch step (Check manual for usage of SDML AgentryLanguageReference_6.0.0.0.pdf) then you may get invalid object.
When you do a SQL "Fetch" Client Exchange and Server Exchange Steps, you can select a few options:
For this discussion let us talk about these 2 items below.
1. Run Attribute: Run One Time
or
2. Run Attribute: Run Once Per Object.
When you select Run Once Per Object the only available Flunky or SDML commands you have are:
object.keyPropertyName
lastUpdate
fetch.messageNumber
The 3 above are your only options
If you try to do something like object.property1 where property1 is part of your object properties then it will not work for Run Once Per Object.
It may work for Run One time as fetch.propertyname.
From your symptoms where you are complaining about an issue in exchange steps, your error is a typo or a misused or a misunderstanding of how fetches and SDML works (documented in page 398 or 399 of AgentryLanguageReference_6.0.0.0.pdf).
See pictures just in case you don't have access to that pdf file (The picture below simply proves what SDML options is available for your Fetch Client Exchange Step).
Hope this helps.

Safari not saving passwords in keychain

All of a sudden Safari stopped saving my usernames and passwords. It asks, and I say yes. But it doesn't save anything. HELP!

Launch Keychain Access in /Applications/Utilities/, select Keychain First Aid, and repair the login.keychain. Details in KA's help files.

Safari not saving my cookies!

I installed the very very latest iTunes, and this messed up my safari by saving cookies. Google instant search doesnt stay off, youtube doesnt auto-log in. I cant downgrade my iTunes. I have already uninstalled, reinstalled, even deleted and installed Apple Application support manually.
If you could help, thanks.

same problem here, and even if safari 5.1 worked properly I couldn't use 5.1 due to the jerky scrolling
(fully updated XP system)
Some cookies work for awhile, but eventually they stop working, quitting and re-opening safari stops them all from working. Some cookies show up in the show cookies list and some don't.

Why is my Safari not working and saying there is a problem when I try to open it ? Please help !

Hello I am writing here because today as I was using my macbook air, a software update popped up. I updated everything that needed to be updated, and when my computer restarted I went to use Safari and it simply will not work now. When I try to open it, an exclamation point pops up and it says "Safarir wuit unexpectedly while using the TelevisionFanaticToolbar plugin." I believe that my internet connection is not the problem, because iChat and iMail seem to be working just fine. I really need help immediately, can anyone possibly run me through some steps on how I could possibly get it working again. What can I do ? Help !

Hey blondgrl53,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. From your description sounds like you've got something installed in Safari as a plugin. Whatever this "televisionfanatictoolbar" thing is, you should probably get rid of it.
In Safari try going to Preferences -> Extensions and seeing if you have any plugins installed that you can disable. That is likely the reason for your problem.
Another thing you can do is remove your Safari preferences file by doing the following:
in Finder hit command + shift + g and enter "~/Library/Preferences" with out the quotes.
Find the file called com.apple.Safari.plist and delete it. This is completely safe, all it will do is reset your Safari settings.
If you go to "~/Library/Internet Plug-ins" you can also look in there for anything suspicious and throw it in the trash.
Hope that helps.

Safari not saving mpegs correctly

I have Tiger with 10.4.2 and I cannot save mpeg movies to my hard drive, QUICKTIME DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THEM. I also cant just click and "save as" because the option is not there. I have to use Opera (which works alot better in most all respects) or Firefox just be able to save movies that my Apple product with Apple Safari does not??

I'm having a similar problem, and ControlOptionclick doesn't solve it. I've just discovered that I've been having this problem for several months.
For a long time I could just hit Command+S and everything worked fine. I just discovered, however, that everything I've saved for the past couple of months either says it's a format Quicktime doesn't recognize, or it opens in Quicktime but only plays about a half second of black . . . no content.
I tried the ControlOptionclick method and get exactly the same results.
I found that I CAN save the mpeg by dragging the mpeg to my desktop, but I just gives it the generic title "Movie Clipping 1." For example, right now I'm trying to save a file called "Steve Martin Napkin Trick,." If I save it with Command+S or ControlOptionS, a file by that name (and with the QT movie icon) appears on my desktop. However, if I try to open that file it doesn't have any content. If I just drag the mpeg to my desktop, I get a QT movie file called "Movie Clipping 1" which plays back correctly.
Dragging to the desktop functions as a work around, but it's a bit of a pain having to rename each file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

External Adobe Reader for pdf, not saved in settings

I'm using Firefox v32.0.2 (with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9.29 Plug-in) on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
Using the Adobe plugin for very large pdf files results in a stalling browser, sometimes for minutes.
Switching over to the external Adobe Reader in the mimetype settings works ok, but only for the current session.
After restarting the browser, the setting for pdf files is back to the Adobe plugin.
Indeed, setting "Preview in Firefox","Always ask","Save file" is stored in mimetypes.rdf,
but setting the external Adobe read is NOT.
By now my workaround consists of deactivating the Adobe Plugin; then pdf files are always opened with the external Reader.
But i would like to know how comes that setting external apps to read pdf files is NOT stored in the settings and therefore lost when restarting firefox.
Anybody know why that is ? bug or feature ?
Regards,
Gaston

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (for Linux and Mac Preferences) button.
#In the Options (for Linux and Mac Preferences) window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

HT4623 why is software update not shown in settings on my ipad?

I'm trying to update my ipad for ios 5 and cannot find "software update" under settings, general. Any idea why?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Why did my Safari not working

when i open the Safari window it is stuck and I can not go back and forth between pages that am browsing.

Quit Safari completely and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work try this.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data or Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also try a reset if those two things do not work for you.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why are my homepages not saving in the options? Why is an unsolicited search page replacing my home pages when I open a new session of Firefox?

I am repeatedly having to reset my homepages in the Tools and Options toolbar. Why are my homepages being replaced without my permission?

Sounds like you picked up some Malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Why are my pictures not saving on new ipad running iOS7

Latest iPad running previous or new iOS and pictures are not appearing in camera role or albums. Some photos on there but definitely not working when using home button and pwr button to take screen shot.
I remember there being problems with flattened jail broken devices but theoretically this cannot be the case as a brand new iPad.
Is this a known problem in the modern day or an iOS7 fault, any input welcome

I had the same problem, after a long discussion with Apple one of their engineers came up with the bright idea of restoring from the original backup via WiFi rather than connecting to iTunes by USB. This should give you a pretty good idea as to whether the photos are there in your backup file, as for instance it said uploading 22 of 863 photos for me, left it overnight to restore from backup via WiFi, restarted the iPhone in the morning and all of my photos had been restored. I have since backed up all photos to a very helpful Dropbox "Camera Uploads" update.
To restore from iCloud via WiFi, on your device:
Open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Wait for the device to restart, input Time and Date Settings and Connect to WiFi.
Log in using your Apple ID and select Restore from iCloud Backup. (Ensure it is the iCloud backup with all relevant photos).
Leave device to Restore overnight and restart in the morning!

LR 1.4.1 not saving print settings on Mac OS 10.5.2

1.4.1 won't save (or use) any print settings other than "Standard". In the print module if I select print settings, choose a printer and it's settings (like paper type and color management) then close the dialog the settings aren't saved or even used. It will only print with the "Standard" setting.
Tried on 2 systems and with new database.
- Joe

As far as I know, it's always behaved like this. The solution is to get the print settings the way you want, save it under Standard, and then save the setting as a Lightroom preset. The print settings will stick with the preset.

Why is my text not saving correctly in Acrobat Pro XI?

I use Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. When I use the add text function, everything shows up correctly. I save the file and close it. Later on, when I open the saved file, some of the text (especially capital letters and symbols) show up as little boxes with an X in them. I have to highlight, cut, and paste everything in order for the text to show back up. Once it happens one time, it usually does not happen again. However, if I open up a document, fix the boxes, add additional notes, those notes then turn into boxed Xs the next time I open the document.
How do I fix this?

Hi rdh2209,
Kindly post this query in Acrobat forums:Acrobat

Florence
