Hidden photos in full screen mode.

Hey guyz, I think I need a little help here.When I see a photo in the full screen mode and try to navigate through the photos of a specific event using the arrows left n' right I notice that many photos are not shown and are skipped.I can't figure out what's going on.Searched on the web for any possible answers but found nothing.Am I the only one that's happening to?It's really annoying.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are the photos just skipped or is there a blank screen of some sort when you get to those photos? What do you see or not see?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Adjusted photos in full screen mode show digital garble over image

    Since installing iPhoto08 viewing photos in full screen mode is very disappointing and frustrating. Some images will appear with this (for lack of a better term) digital garble over half or the full photo. Sometimes by switching to the next or previous image it will correct itself. It seems to happen only with photos I've adjusted. This never happened with iPhoto6 that I upgraded from. These photos are all 8 mpix, my mac is a G5 2.0 with 2 GB RAM. I've also noticed that the over all perfomance of adjusting the photos is very slow as well. I posted the image here www.capacitornetwork.com/iPhotoDigitalGarble.jpg. Compare the left and right halves (The photo was originally shot B&W). Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you checked the HD with Disk Utility to see if it needs repairs? Not disk permissions but the disk itself. Also delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A corrupt preference file has been known to cause some strange problems. It's worth a try.
    Do you Twango?

  • IPhoto 11 low resolution photo in full screen mode

    In the 09 version a low resolution picture is shown full on the screen, but can be a little bit blurry.
    In the 11 version the low resolution picture is shown small. How can we change that?

    I mean that a low resolution picture is shown as a small picture and can not be viewed as a large picture. In the old version a low or high resolution was shown the same. If it was a low resolution picture it would be a bit more blur. Now the picture is small and a higher resolution picture is shown full screen.
    Is this better?

  • Aperture got stuck while editing a photo in full screen mode and doesn't respond to commands

    How do I stop Aperture when it is completely stuck and will not even respond to alt-cmd-esc?

    then use option + command  Delete to force quit Aperture.
    Force quitting is to be avoided if possible, since it can corrupt the Aperture Library and the User preferences file or other settings.
    If Aperture seems to be stuck and unresponsive, quite often it is a deadlock in the graphical user interface, but the application itself still may respond to the "Terminate" signal, send by other processes:
    Select the Aperture Dock icon, ctrl-click and select "Quit!
    Select "Restart" from the     Apple-menu.
    Or use the Terminal to send a Terminate-Signal:
    Launch "Activity Monitor" (from Applications > Utilities) and find the Process ID of Aperture (PID, in the first column)
    Open a Terminal and type in:
    kill -TERM Aperture's PID
    Only if all these safer measures don't work, then use Force Quit on a database program like Aperture, but be prepared to run an "Aperture Library First Aid" afterwards, if you see signs of a corrupted library.

  • Aperture in full screen mode seems to crash MacBook Pro with Retina

    To anyone who has an idea;
    I have a brand new (couple months old) 15" MacBook Pro w Retina (16GB RAM, 2.3GHz i7) and I can repeatedly crash it just by running Aperture in a full screen mode and flipping through the photos (I have 21000+ photos and I was cleaning them so it required a lot of flipping back and forth, deleting but no editing). It appears as if it was running out of RAM and not releasing it back. I have all the latest updates installed (always) and I know this is not related to my machine since within the first week of having it I noticed a dent on my screen and Apple sent me a brand new machine. I could replicate this behaviour on both machines.
    To mitigate the restarts, I use FreeMemory Pro app set at "freeing" RAM once it drops to 4GB but if I push the Aperture too fast (and I do not mean major editing but just simply going through many photos in full screen mode, viewing them), I still crash it.
    I was wondering if there is anyone else with something similar and if you have any tips. I have reported it to Apple.

    Hi,
    I'm having exactly the same hard- and software configuration like you, Gordito73 - up to date of course as well. Aperture continues to crash after it really seams to run out of memory while editing lots of photos with many different effects. -.-

  • Full Screen Mode has letterbox effect

    Hopefully this is an easy one and I am just missing something, but when I open a photo in full screen mode it does not fill the entire screen. Instead, there is a title bar on top, an editing bar on the bottom and a fairly large blank area on either side that frames the photo like a letterbox effect on TV.
    What am I doing wrong? (In case it matters, the camera used was a Nikon D40.) In the past with iPhoto 09 these photos would fill the entire screen of my MacBook Pro, now, not so much. (My desktop wallpaper, for example, is a photo taken with the same camera, and it fills the entire area of my MBP's screen; how can I get that same effect when I open a photo in iPhoto '11?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    It's been over a day and a half and no responses. No love for an old friend?
    Anyone with any ideas, please reply.

  • Slow processing in full screen mode

    Hi All
    I recently upgraded my camera to an EOS 5d mk 2. I take photos in full RAW, so resulting images are around 26 MB.I then import these as managed reference files into Aperture.
    No issue with import to Aperture or image quality.
    However, when viewing the photos in full screen mode (to rank / edit etc), they take a long time to properly open / load (about 20 seconds each.) Each time I re-open Aperture, each image needs to be re-loaded in full screen size - which can become very time consuming. Edits are equally very slow to process.
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how to manage this and avoid the time lag (other than downgrading to smaller image sizes). For example...
    - I currently have 2GB of memory and a 128 mb graphics card. Do I need to upgrade to handle such large images?
    - Can I reset a preference to avoid having to reload the full size image every time I open Aperture?
    - How can I speed up editing speed (nothing too fancy done here - I note from other posts the "7 deadly edits" that can cause processing to slow up)
    Any ideas gratefully received!!!
    Many thanks

    I don't understand whether you have a Referenced-Masters Library or a Managed-Masters Library. Drives slow as they fill and with a Managed-Masters Library sooner or later the internal drive will become overfilled. I recommend a Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on an external drive and the Aperture Library on the internal drive.
    iMacs, laptops and Minis are by definition limiting to heavy Aperture usage, so work carefully to optimize setup and workflow.
    First is to max the RAM and make sure the hard drive stays less than 70% full. Restart the iMac prior to a major Aperture session and only have Aperture open. You should also investigate to see if a substantially more powerful video card is available at reasonable price.
    Set Preview size to be exactly screen size and build Previews manually when the box is otherwise not being aggressively used.

  • Everytime I go to full-screen mode the photo I am working on is on one space while the filmstrip is on another. Also there is no way to get to the menu on top as it is hidden. When I hit the f key everything goes to black and I have to quite the program.

    I run aperture 3 on OS X 10.7 iMac 27" 2.8GHz i7 16GB.
    Thanks for any help.

    You have to change the cursor focus.
    What I usually do for PDF pages/tabs, is click in the URL/location bar, then F11.<br />
    For Flash, if you click on the page outside of the video area/box, F11 should work.

  • IPhoto 11: How to view "all photos" while in full screen mode

    In iPhoto, when it's not in full screen mode, if you click photos in the sidebar (under Library), you get a nice view of ALL your photos, and you have the option to sort them by event. When you go from this view straight to full screen mode, it stays this way, which in my case is particularly useful since I like to move photos around from event to event. However, staying in full screen mode, as soon as I click an any other of the menus at the bottom (events, faces, places, albums, projects), I cannot find anyway to get back to the "all photos" view, other than to take it OUT of full screen mode, click on "Photos" in the side bar, and then go back to full screen mode. Either I am missing something that is glaringly obvious, or this is a rather annoying oversight by Apple. It seems like it would be natural to have "Photos" be one of the options along with Events, Faces, Places, Albums and Projects in full screen mode. Right now the only work around I've been able to come up with (aside from going back and forth with fullscreen mode), and to hit "command F" while in full screen mode, and then type "i", which will give me what I am want only because all my photos start with "i". Not a very elegant work around, I know, but perhaps I am missing something very obvious.
    Thanks for any advice!

    In case my description isn't clear, here is a screenshot of exactly the view in full screen mode I am talking about  that I can't seem to return to once I leave it, other than to go back to non full screen mode or use the search trick.

  • I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. How to fix

    I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. I deleted this from my apps and then deleted iphoto from my purchases in macbook app store the search it the app store and it says it has still been installed. What can I do to fix it?

    Well deleting it from your machine was not the way to go.
    Deleting it from your Purchases List was definitely not the way to go.
    So, I'm not really sure how you're going to reinstall it.
    But figure that out and we can try help. Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They should be able to get it back on your purchases list so you can reinstall it.

  • Full screen mode and Screen saver Photo viewing

    The problem I have is my images vary in size, due to photos being taken on different cameras, with different settings, or photos/negatives that have been scanned.
    When viewed in iphoto some of the photos are smaller than others in full screen mode (obviously because they are smaller) where as the larger photos are "made to fit"
    When viewed with the screen saver in System Prefs. The large images appear pixalated and "zoomed in" Where as the small and medium sized photos look great.
    is there any way of solving these issues?
    any suggestions much appreciated.

    Set it to the iPhoto Library.
    When you set it to the Photos folder that's exactly what you get. The Pictures Folder has many thumbnails and alternate versions of the photos as well as other garbage you don't want.

    Hi 153957,
    Thanks for the response.
    I could see the film strip on the bottom ok in Browser plus viewer mode.
    When I go to viewer screen the full screen mode and I could not see the Photo tool bar-sorry I spelt it "Tour" in my question.
    Now I realised that the Photo Tool bar only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.
    However in full screen mode I am unable to bring my inspector! Is that possible?

  • Can't see pictures in full screen mode

    This is my new Mac Computer. Some of the pictures can not be viewed except as thumbnails. (When I try to see in full screen mode, there is a quick 1 second view,then a grey screen with an I in the middle and a dotted line surrounding it. There is no rhyme nor reason why some photos can been seen in full mode and some can only be seen as thumbnail.

    Pauline
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
