With iPhoto i am getting an error message saying the the library needs updating but never actually does and i can't get my original library aback!!

my iphoto is saying it needs to update  i clicked this then i t can't seem to its on an external drive which has been fine  whats happening?anyone know whats happening  looks like a   a typical post apple update glitch to me

How are you connected to the drive?
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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 bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

  • When I try to download the latest update for my ipad, I get an error message saying that the internet timed out.

    When  I try to update my ipad with the latest software, I get an error message saying that the internet timed out.  What can I do?

    The update file is around 700 megs so if you're on a slow connection it does time out. You can also look into your anti virus software or firewall, it might be blocking the file. Also if you're trying to download it over 3G it won't work. There's a 20 meg cap on all 3G downloads.

    When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!

    Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
    It has been unchecked somehow...
    Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

    I own an iMac 2011. I am unable to reinstall and launch premiere pro cc. We I attempt to run the program I get a error message saying that the adobe application manager is missing or need to be updated. I reinstalled the manager but I am still unable to launch any of my programs from adobe. I tried to do a trail with a program and I am still getting the same message.

    Davinci thank you for the update.
    Please utilize any available uninstallers that are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once all of the available uninstallers have been run you will then want to rerun the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find directions on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  After the CC Cleaner Tool is run then please reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.
    The CC Cleaner Tool is designed to be used after running the uninstallers.  Without running the uninstallers first then a complete removal may not be possible.

  • I am trying to upload a pdf i created to an online system but am getting an error message indicating that my document is not formatted to 8.5x11. How can i get my document to 8.5x11

    I am trying to upload a pdf i created to an online system but am getting an error message indicating that my document is not formatted to 8.5x11. How can i get my document to 8.5x11

    You'll want to fix this via the online system you used to create the PDF.
    If all content mastering and page configuration is done online then that is where you must make a correction to what you did before.
    If a file is uploaded to the online system for processing then you must revisit that file.
    Open the file with its native application and correct page size there.
    If you upload a scanned image to the online system you must configure the scanner software to output the needed page size.
    Be well...

  • I get an error message saying that the original file could not be located on about half the songs in my library. Not all but half.

    I'm unable to play approx. half the songs in my library. I get an error message saying that the original file could not be located. I am asked if I want to locate the file, I click locate and get  a screen with a list of confusing looking files and nothing seems to solve the problem. As is probably apparent by now I am not particularly computer literate. I don't understand why this problem occurs on only half my library.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    hi I recently dropped my ipod touch and now it wont connect to itunes. Everytime i plug it in, i get an error message saying that the usb device is not recognized

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I download the windows support software for my Mac? I am getting an error  message saying that the software is not available

    How do I download the windows support software for my Mac? I am getting an error  message saying that the software is not available

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I do not recommend you to download the Windows support software through Boot Camp Assistant.
    Instead, you can download the Windows support software for most Macs from the Apple website. Go to this website, look for your MacBook Pro model and the Windows version you want to install, and follow its steps.

    Hi Hans - I'll do my best
    First I assume you are logged in as adminstrator on the computer you are using. You mention only seeing Mojo Pac in your Program Files, but there would be far more programs listed there. There are several ways you can find your Apple Application Support file folder.
    For Windows XP - How to Search for a File or Folder
    To search for a file or folder:
    Click Start, and then click Search.
    In the Search Companion dialog box, click All files and folders.
    Type part or all of the name of the file or folder, or type a word or phrase that is in the file.
    So in your case it would be Apple Application Support.
    If it doesn't show, you will need to make sure that you have enabled the search for hidden files or folders.
    To search for hidden or system files in Windows XP:
    Click Start, click Search, click All files and folders, and then click More advanced options.
    Click to select the Search system folders and Search hidden files and folders check boxes.
    Then search again for the Apple Application Support folder.
    I'm assuming that you will locate it. Once you have done so - click on it to open it in Windows Explorer.
    Then you should locate libxml2.dll - right click on it and select (left click) Copy
    On the left side of the window, under Apple Application Support folder, you should see Mobile Device Support - Right Click on it - Select (Left Click) on Paste.
    Start your iTunes programme.
    Good Luck and let me know how you get on.

  • When i connect  my ipad2 to sync, error message says ipad itunes version needs updated

    when I connect my ipad 2 to my mac to sync an error message says my ipad doesn't have the latest version of itunes.  When i try to update my ipad, i can't....help

    It would be good for you to provide a little more information for us.
    What version of the iOS is on your iPad? Did you update to iOS 6?
    What version of OSX is your Mac running?
    Did you update iTunes to version 10.7
    If you have iOS 6 on your iPad you need to have iTunes 10.7 on your Mac before you can sync. iTunes 10.7 requires Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or higher.
    If you have iOS 6 on your iPad and a version of OSX below 10.6.8 you'll need to update the OSX first, then install iTunes 10.7. If your have OSX 10.6.8 or higher you can just download and install iTunes 10.7.
    It would e a good idea to back up all data on your computer if you have to do an update of OSX.
