2013-08-06 Thread David Nicholas
Hello all I have had a strange problem today. When I opened iPhoto I had a message that my Library needed to be repaired. Of course I accepted that and it went ahead. But then I got a very disturbing message - Something like Can't find the disk so can't save the Library. To the best of my

Hi David If you hold down the option key when you launch iPhoto, you will get the 'rebuild' menu. Work thru the options one by one until it works again. Hope this helps. Rob PS Of course you've got a backup copy of your library On 6/08/13 3:11 PM, David Nicholas wrote: Hello all I have

Hi David, Sounds like iPhoto has lost the path to where your iPhoto Library is located. You need to 'reconnect' link iPhoto to your iPhoto Library on the external disk. Make sure the external disk is connected to your Mac and has mounted on your desktop Then Double-Click on the iPhoto icon in

Hi Rob, I don't like to sound picky and disagree with you but your instructions to David for Rebuilding the iPhoto 11 9.4.3 Library is incorrect. To rebuild the iPhoto library: 1. Quit iPhoto if it is open. 2. Hold down the 'Command and Option' keys on the keyboard. 3. Open iPhoto. 4. Keep the

Hi Ronni (and Rob) OK, I have restored an iPhone Library. All is not well. I have almost nothing from the past 3 months. I will have to give some background to explain the problem. I'm sorry if it takes a while. At the beginning of May we went on a Kimberley cruise. I took many photos -

Hi David, Not being able to see your setup and know your backup system, it is difficult to sort via email. You might need to get Daniel to visit. In you first email to the list you indicated you had all your photos and iPhoto Library backed up, and using iPhoto Library which is located on the

David My wife has been having similar problems. She has an old Macbook and over 300Gb of photos. She has to periodically rebuild the database. In her case, the photos are there, but not in Events. In iPhoto, check out Recent/ Last 12 months in the lefthand tab. I hope you can see the

Hi Hugh, During a sync, iTunes “optimizes” photos before copying them to the iPad, which means they’re resized and converted so the original high-resolution versions don’t slow performance in the Photos app. Photos are resized to no more than 1536 pixels on the shortest side and no more than

Hi Hugh, No, iTunes automatically optimizes the photos for the best viewing on the iPad. As far as I know there is no way to override this feature. I'll search through all my documents when I can find time to see if you have any options. If I find any information I'll get back to you. Cheers,
