Your thoughts please on getting me out of this problem
I have the latest version of iphoto 4 and have the spinning wheel when loading iphoto. So I need to rebuild the library which I know how to do. My problem is the library is 24GB with 2500 photos in it. I can only free up 17 GB of space on the hard drive. Before it all went wrong I was ordering a Lacie 300 GB hard drive which has now turned up. So I have backed up a copy of the libary onto it. Although the copy will have the same problem but at least its a second copy of the photos. I also backed up before it all went wrong a copy onto my ipod photo of all the full resolution photos. I would like to keep all the album names and whats in them but don't mind losing import dates etc. The reason for this is most of the photos are scanned negatives and the rest of the photos I have saved in 3 different formats as RAW digital olympus files already. What does everyone think is the best way forwards?
1. Delete the library on my computer and rebuild a new one onto it saved from the copy on my Lacie hard drive. If so do I need to download a piece of software so can start building from the Lacie copy? I will also save a second copy of existing library before building new one.
2. Go out buy ilife 05 and load iphoto 5 and use the rebuild the database option on it. Although I don't need any of the other features iphoto 5 has to offer.
3. This would be the option I don't know about yet.
I would be grateful for any help as I have a photo shoot for an actor on Thursday and need to use .mac to load proofs onto the web.
Many thanks and sorry message is so long but needed to get all the facts across.
Allen,
Before you worry too much about the cramped space on your internal drive, let's see if your iPhoto Library can be resurrected. Instead of doing anything with the iPhoto Library on your boot volume, drag your iPhoto Library to your external drive. The original will be left in place, but an exact duplicate of it will be created on the external drive. Give it time to finish the copy (and iPhoto should not be running while you're doing this). Next, open your Pictures folder in a Finder window, and append an "xx" to the end of the folder's name (any characters will do -- you're just trying to change the name so that when iPhoto is launched, it won't find the folder). Launch iPhoto, and you'll get a dialog asking (among other things) to "Find Library...". In the resulting dialog, navigate to the iPhoto Library that you just placed on the external drive. If it opens, fine; you're done. If you get the spinning beach-ball, it will be the external copy that you will be repairing. That way you can worry about cramped space on the internal drive at your leisure, after your photo library has been resurrected.

Hi, nportillo,
The next time you attempt to reach Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Do not choose the obvious - you have already established that path is not working. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
Skype is aware of problems reaching their customer service unit via the website, however people are getting through. I have flagged your report for follow-up by those to whom I report.
Regards,
Elaine

I have SP Server 2010, and when I try to DELETE a rule within an existing Audience, "Property (Account Name) = domain/username", I get this error, "An error has occurred while accessing SQL database or system resources. If this
is the first time you have seen this message, please try again later. If this
problem persists, please contact your administrator." When I try to "MODIFY" the rule I get this error, "One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields."
The last time I checked it was working, I'm not aware of any new updates installed recently? I did a full Profile Synchronization as well, but still not working, please advise? -- EvenstarlineHi Sara,
First of all thank you very much for your prompt responses. Here are my comments to each of your suggestions below, and just to let you know I am using a Farm Admin account. I
was able to do this way after we upgraded from SP 2007 to SP 2010 as well. I would like to mention I'm not a SP expert, just been given the responsibility due to another person handling it just left, so apologize with some of
my novice questions below?
1. When I change the Operators to "Contains" or "Not Contains" get generates this error below.
Error generating in red towards top of the audience page..."One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields."
Error occurred where you enter your "Value"..."Could not resolve the user identity. Please re-enter the account name."
2. We have a 3-server-tier topology (SPWeb, SPDB, and SPFarm). Does the updates only apply to where the Central Admin is installed, which is the "SPFarm"? I checked all
3 servers, and NONE of the updates (KB2899494, KB2889845, and KB2883055) you'd mentioned are installed.
3. I'm new to IISRET, I need to be extra cautious of what I run in production, is this safe to run with no problem? What does it do? And How do I run it?
4. I'm also new to viewing the ULS log. I'd just downloaded a viewer for it. I'm assuming the only logs I need to be concern with viewing are within the SPAdmin (where Central
Admin is installed)? There's so many of them, what should I be looking for exactly?

My iPod touch is in recovery mode, how do I get it out of this?
My daughter's iPod touch is in recovery mode (we know this by the code it gives us when she plugs it in to the computer), how do we get it out of this? We have tried resetting by holding down the on/off button and the other button on the bottom front of the iPod for 30 seconds to a minute and nothing happens.
Two ways to get the iPod Touch out of recovery mode.
From iTunes click "Restore" this will download the latest iOS for your iPod Touch and install it.
Second way is to press and hold both the home button and the sleep button for around ten seconds and release them when the Apple logo shows on the screen. -

I had got my iphone 3gs from the US in april and it was purchased without contract from AT&T. When i got it here in India I jail broke it using Spirit. There was a dead pixel in my phone and hence i had to send it back to US for replacement. Before sending it I restored it back to factory settings. Now my current phone config is given below
Version: 4.0(8A293);
Carrier: AT&T 7.0;
Model: MB715LL;
Serial Number: 84013(First 5 digits);
Modem Firmware: 05.13.04;
Boot Loader: 359.3.2(Checked through properties of the device);
can anyone get me out of this ?Perhaps you should have done some more research before purchasing an iPhone from the US? If you had, you would have found out that it would not work in India and would not have purchased it in the first place?
Your solution is that you need to purchase another iPhone from a country like the UK that sells unlocked iPhones to get the phone to work in India. You can't do this online, so it would mean purchasing one next time you visit the UK, or getting a friend who is visiting the UK to purchase an unlocked iPhone from the Apple store.
I suppose it is too late to send your other iPhone back to the States and get a refund? If so, you are stuck with a non functioning and very expensive paper weight! -

If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

I bought CS6 creative suite. As of now i need to work each application in separate separate system. Can any one please help me how to solve this problem.
I saw the below quote on Adobe forum
"You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each."
If i install each application in single single system the system count is more than two. In this case, are we have any license issue? Please advice how the problem will solve?
If possible please send the advise to my mail id: <Removed by Moderator>
Thanks
Uvaraj SI already answered that. If you purchased a Suite then you can only install and activate it on two machines. Even if you only insdtall one of the applications of that suite, it counts as one activation of the suite. You cannot take the six or seven different applications that might be in a suite and install and activate them in six or seven different machines... only two machines.
If your scenario will allow for it, one thing you can do is install the programs on all the different machines and only activate two of the machines at any given time. If you need to activate a program on a third machine then you need to deactivate on one of the currently activate machines first so that you have an open activation to use again. I do not remember if there is a limit to the total number of activations you can process for the life of the software. -

Please clarify:
What is your iPhoto version?
And what do you mean by "not responding"? Is iPhoto hanging and showing the spinning beachball?
Can you launch iPhoto, if you hold down the options key while launching and select or create a different library?
