Will deleting Iphoto screw up anything else?

Neither me nor my wife use it, nor like it.
Sometimes we still accidently open a picture using it, and it is rather annoying. I am not sure where to change the defaults away from it either.
Just wondering if it will screw up other system issues in OS 10.4 . (I.e. it's tied directly into finder or somesuch.)
Of course I have already removed it from the Dock.

iPhoto is not tied into Mac OS X 10.4, as retail versions of Mac OS X 10.4 do not include iPhoto. You may want to place it on an external storage drive or on a disk image created with the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder prior to deleting it in the event that support files not included with the retail package expect iPhoto to be present.

HT204490 will deleting iPhoto delete my pictures if they're in Photos?

want to clear up some space and omni disk cleaner is telling me that iPhoto is taking up the most space. if i delete iPhoto, will my pictures also delete even if they're in the new Photos app?

No - there is no connection between iphoto and Photos libraries - you can delete either with no effect on the other
However it probably will not save much disk space wince Photos and iPhoto use hard links to share access to the photos so little space is used by having both libraries available - see Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
and be VERY careful using any cleaner program including Omni Disk Cleaner - they are very dangerous and do not understand database systems like iphoto and Photos and often cause major problems with photos and even the system by deleting the wrong things - best not to use them at all

Have you tried to reset the iphone?
Restore it?

What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
(Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
Thanks

As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store. To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

HT4623 I started to download the new software and had to stop in between. I started it back up again and my phone now has a picture connecting to itunes. The phone will not let me do anything else what do i do

I started to download the new software and had to stop halfway. I started to finish it later this evening and then while it was doing that it went to a black screen saying to connect to itunes. What do I do?

Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

Folder Portlet will not display edit (or anything else)

I am portal30.
I created a new content area.
I clicked the "Edit Root Folder" link of my content area, and published it as a Portlet.
I created a new page.
I added my newly created content area as a portlet to the page.
I saved my page.
WHen I view the page (as Portal30), the page is blank where my content area should be displayed.
Can you give me some hints. I have been playing around for a while and can't "get it right".
Thanks!

Hi
U got to check the 'Access' settings under 'Edit Root Folder', u have to give appropriate access rights to enable the users to view/edit the content area.
Hope this helps

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else? Thanks, Rose

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there.

When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I cleared out a movie I made in final cut pro, now fcp will not open completely, I get the logo with all the names running through but never get timeline, browser or anything else? Help!! Larry

I removed a movie I had made and now when I try to open final cut pro, all the stuff shows up with the names, etc, but that is it, I don't get anything else, and, final cut does not show at the top of my computer. I have the 27 inch iMac with the intel processor, any help will be appreciated. Larry

Sounds like you may have deleted more than just the movie file. It the FCP application in the Applications folder? if so, try launching from there. If not, you'll neeed to uninstall the app completely using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/ then reinstall from the original install discs.
You may want to first try trashing FCP's preferences.

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. Help!

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them. Help!

Good morning Old Toad.
I did as you suggested:
1) Booted from install CD.
2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
So there's no change in my status.
I'm trying to delete the files because:
A) They already take .5 Gb.
B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

No you do not need to delete the current version and no you do not import anything
just backup your iPhoto library and upgrade the iPhoto application will upgrade your existing library when you launch it - No importing involved (never iomport an iPhoto library into an iPhoto library)

Itunes let me buy a song, but now wont let me buy anything else. How do I delete the song from my billing receipt so I can start updating my apps again?? PLEASE HELP

I had gotten a gift card with around $20 on it so I decided to buy some songs. I had bought a few, then I bought the last song, and now iTunes wont allow me to update my apps, or let me download any other apps because apparently I have $0 on my card; The weird part about that is it let me keep the song, but wont let me get anything else regardless of the charge. I don't have a credit card myself, so I'm really trying to avoid buying another gift card for one 99 cent song. Does anyone know how to get rid of a song from the billing receipt? I've tried everything!
Thanks

Purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will cancel the purchase : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup. Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library. That backup file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Since upgrading to 7.1 on my iphone 5C I try to open the phone icon to make a phone call and it tries to open then returns to the home screen. I also cannot get anything else to open. It will randomly reboot or just freeze.

I just got my iphone 5C on Wednesday, I was slow to move my apps over because well I loved my iphone3. Never had any problems!
I finally moved my apps over last night and was prompted to upgrade to 7.1. I upgraded, then received a voicemail, listened to part of the voicemail (the phone dropped the call) and went back to the main screen.
Then nothing worked. I try to open the phone icon and it tried to open but it returned to the main screen. I tried opening anything else and nothing will work. Not even the phone icon. It also would not shut down.
I let it sit for twenty minutes and tried to turn it off. Then ten minutes later it just rebooted itself. Waited until it came back up and tried to open settings, photo, camera, phone nothing will open.
I know the touch is still working because it is locked and it will allow me to unlock it every time. So I guess something is working.
Any suggestions?

Finally got my phone to power off. I was able to reset the phone and everything is now working. I guess I just needed patience!
