IPhoto - pictures not showing in full screen

Hi, I'm using iPhoto and have uploaded my pictures from camera (one I've always used before and had success with). The pictures load and I can see the thumnails, but when I switch to view in full screen the picture flashes up really quickly and is replaced by an exclamation mark. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The "!" occurs when iPhoto has broken/lost the link/path to the original file. Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 (11) apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Edited photos not showing in full screen

I have edited some photos (crop and/or colour adustments). Although the thumbnail is still visible, it will not load in full screen mode - I'll only see a gree square with an explanation mark.
Even more annoying, a photo book I'd ordered came with grey spaces: again the thumbnail appeared allright, but if I click to view the page I get this screen picture holder. I'll have to ask for a reimbursement, but in the mean time, I'd like to know what to do.
thanks in advance

I'm having some trouble posting. Sorry for my last post with only original message showing and my comments missing.
I am having trouble with full screen also but not quite the same. I cannot get a previosly edited photo to show full size on the full screen. It only transfers in the same small size as it is in the Library source screen even though I clk on the preference for "edit in full screen." Any idea what is wrong?

Images in galleries not showing in full screen mode

I have a number of galleries in my ibook. Some of them work fine and the pictures open up in full screen when tapped/pinched. Other gallers dont allow me to view the pictures in full screen. I have created them all the same way as far as I know. Has anyone else had this problem and know how I can resolve it? thanks in advance.

If you believe the resources are similar but act differently, you might have some sort of corruption in one of them or in your book that is contributing to how that book displays on an iPad.
Try taking the wonky ones out, then saving and putting them back one at time to see if you can isolate the issue.

Album Art not showing in full screen?

Hi,
I added artwork to audio tracks on my Ipod Nano, this process seems easy enough but when the song is playing and I click the center button to expand the art work it doesn't display in full screen. It displays as almost a thumbnail centered in a white background. If I go into the Photos section of the ipod and display the artwork it displays in full screen. So it seems as if images can't display in full screen while a song is playing. I changed the aspect ratio and size of the image but it doesn't affect how the image is displayed when audio is playing. Can anyone help me find a way to get this artwork in full screen mode with audio. I know some of you may be thinking who cares, but this Ipod is being used for a museum, the audio is of the artist and the artwork should display while the artist is speaking. When the art work displays as a thumbnail its hard to make out. I hope my explanation isn't too confusing I found this when I googled the problem http://www.tunequest.org/ipod-album-art-size-limit/20070426/ this person is having the same problem that I am but no one has an answer for him.
Best Wishes,
The Louse~

It displays as almost a thumbnail centered in a white background.
Correct. Even at full screen, the album artwork has a white border (especially at the sides) and the words "now playing" across the top. It does not use the whole of the screen.

Iphoto pictures not showing in "my pictures"

I've just made the switch from PC to Mac, and most days I find the switch to be easy. However, there are some things I just can't seem to figure out... such as:
I transferred all the pictures from my PC to my Mac via an external hard drive. When I dumped all the pics on my Mac, and imported them into Iphoto, I realized that any changes I made in Iphoto did not alter the same pics in my "pictures" folder in the Finder. When I went looking for the answer to that problem, I was told to delete all of the photos from my "pictures" file, and then I could edit away and delete at will in Iphoto. The problem is, now if I want to upload pictures onto the web, I have to export the pictures back to my "pictures" folder", because you can't go into Iphoto through the Finder.
Am I missing something? Does this even make sense? I'm sure (I hope!) there's some really easy step that I'm missing along the way...
Thanks for your time.

Your photos are in a package now
You can always export them
To edit them in a program other than iPhoto you should go to the iphoto preferences ==> general and select edit iphoto in application and select the application you want to use. IF you want to have the option of editing in iPhoto or that application, now leave the application selected and go back to edit in main window - then whey you right click on a photo the contextual menu will give you the option to edit in your selected editing application. When you use the external application be sure to just save (NOT save as) when you are finished so iPhoto keeps the photos and knows that they have been modified.
If you are running Leopard, You also can select photos from the open dialogue box by selecting column view and clicking on photos in the media section in the left hand sidebar

Iphoto pictures not showing up in slideshow

I only have 19 pictures in my iphoto library--created from different "rolls" from emails. When I create a slide show of these pictures (from either the iphoto library of from an album that currently has the same 19 pictures), four of the pictures don't show up in the slideshow. In the slideshow preview, they appear "gray" (and the picture flashes behind the gray for less than a second), and when viewing the slideshow, these four pictures view as black. These four pictures view just fine from either the iphoto library or from the album. Why is this happening, and what are my options to get this resolved?

Riona:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When I've tried to duplicate and the fix the problem I've not had any success. You can try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager. It does not touch or modify the original library. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
If that doesn't solve the problem the only way to get a working library that I know of is to start a new library and import the Originals folder from the old one. Here's how:
1 - first, to salvage your keywords, follow the workflow in Tutorial #1. If you don't care about losing the keywords you can skip this step.
2 - move your existing library to the desktop.
3 - move the Originals folder from that library folder to the desktop.
4 - launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
5 - drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will give you your photos back and in the same rolls that they were in the original library. The roll dates may be different but can be edited in the Information window at the bottom of the Source pane as you would edit file names.
In the future I recommend that you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file that's in the iPhoto library folder. This contains all of the information needed by iPhoto to construct the library and is the file that usually gets corrupted and causes the exclamation mark issue. Keep the backup current, i.e. after any import into iPhoto.

IPhoto pictures not showing

A large majority of the thumbnail photos in iPhoto show up as either blank or a white dotted lined box. If you click on the photo it shows full size just fine. How do I fix this problem?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Adobe MUSE. Logo not showing when full screen slide show is above header...

In Adobe Muse.
When I set the homepage slide show to 100% width and bring it full bleed to the top of the page, the logo gets covered up. Everything else shows, the tabs and fly outs, but the logo disappears. The only difference is the logo is a GIF file. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
The GIF is set to be the top object and is pinned to the top left corner.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Kindly add a new layer (via the layers panel), move the logo to this new layer; and ensure that this layer is on top of the rest.
Hope that helps,

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

Edited pictures not showing in screen saver

I have a lot of pictures in my Picture Folder. I have my screen saver set for Picture Folder. And all the pictures do show up when the screen saver is running. But those pictures that were originally taken in landscape format but later converted and saved in portrait format still appear in landscape mode -- that is, on their side -- in the screen saver. How can that happen?
I have gone through every picture in the Picture Folder to make sure that each is properly oriented and saved in that orientation. Yet they still appear on their side in the screen saver (though they appear normally in Preview). What's going on here? And how do I fix it?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Pictures not showing in wide mode

WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE PHOTO VIEWER SLIDE SHOW DOES NOT SHOWING PICTURES IN WIDE MODE. I HAVE SET MY MONITOR IMAGE RATIO IN WIDE MODE. BUT STILL I AM UNABLE TO VIEW IN ENTIRE SCREEN, INSTEAD PICTURES ARE APPEARING I SQUARE SHAPE. HOW CAN I STRETCH PICTURES
IN SLIDE SHOW WITH OUT CROPPING THE IMAGE.

Hello,
So could you please confirm that the problem here is that you would like to view 3:4 pictures on 16:9 without cropping the images? So you would like the program to stretch the aspect ratio so that the picture would fill the full screen. OR that the computer
would zoom into the picture so that it would remove part of the upper and lower part of the original picture? This feature is not support with photo viewer slide show.

Satellite A300 PSAG0A - Games Will Not Display in Full Screen Size

I have a large number of games installed on my computer. At least 90% of them will not display in full screen size but display in a small window with a large amount of black screen surrounding the window. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. However, I do not think it has anything to do with Windows as my husband runs the same games on his Toshiba Satellite L300, running exactly the same version of windows, and they all display in full screen size.
Altering the screen resolution makes no difference. And, of course, I do select the full screen option in the games.
Also, sometimes when I have been playing a game and then closed it I find that my desktop picture has shrunk to the smaller size - the same size as the window in which the game was displayed when I was playing it.
The games work fine in every other way, it is only this small screen size which is driving me nuts.
I hope that someone can help me with this!!

Yes, as far as I can tell I have the latest driver. But, even this is confusing to me because....
My graphics media accelerator is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. The installed driver version is 7.14.10.1329. The release date for this is 2007-09-13, as far as I can tell from web searches.
However, on the Toshiba website for driver downloads, the available driver version is 8.2.0.1012 PV. The date is 2006-12-28. I have downloaded this driver and attempted to install it. I get the message that it has been installed but, after rebooting and checking the installed driver version is still 7.14.10.1329.
Perhaps, the 8.2.0.1012 PV version does not actually install because it is older than the currently installed version. I would have thought that the driver version with the higher number would be the newer one, but perhaps this is not the case as the dates do not seem to support this theory.
So now I ask myself, firstly, if the driver available for download on the Toshiba website is not the newest one, then why is it there?
Secondly, if it is the newest one then why will it not install on my computer?

Since updating a day ago, Firefox will not open on full screen on Windows 7

Accessing from taskbar on Windows 7 shows its open but will not open on full screen. And its also affected my Quicken program, doing the same thing. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still same problems. Did the updates affect my computer? And adobe was updated at the same time. I spent two hours w/ Quicken support, problem still exists. The only change that was made to the computer was the Mozilla update.

Right-click on the shortcut used to open Firefox and select Properties. If you get a Windows Jump list when you right click, right-click on the Firefox entry in the jump list and select properties.
In the Shortcut tab of the properties dialog box, set the Run option to Maximized, then click OK to save the settings.
You can do this for any program.
