Some .Photos are black in slideshow

I have made a slideshow out of some travel photos.
However, when I play the slideshow some of the photos appear black. They are in the group on the top. When I click on the photo for a preview it appears black. In the library they are fine. Only the title of the photo appears. Out of 23 photos in the show 6 appear black.
I hope there is an easy way to correct this. I am brand new to the IMAC G5.
Thanks for any help.

I used a workaround to make them appear again, something I discovered by accident - viewing the actual image file in the Finder (column view, where the last panel is a preview) seems to remind iPhoto where the file is, and it loads fine. The problem is, "Show File" doesn't work and you have to navigate down the folder to the year and roll manually.
Anyone else noticed that this seems to be happening only to files that show thumbnails on the icons? Even though I have Finder's icon preview turned off (other files use the normal Preview icon), the affected files have thumbnails on their icons. Next time I'll try turning that feature off in Photoshop.

  • In my iPhoto library some photoes are black

    Some photoes at random are black, though I can find them being okey in finder ( strangely, there is changed file which is black as well so there are 2 types of one photo). Please help, don't know what to do!

    I did post to the iPhoto forum and am hoping for an answer soon. I don't want to continue rebuilding my iphoto library if I can do it using originals. My library has 45,000 pictures...a huge job!

  • After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos

    After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos. How do I fix this as this is the latest update?

    If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?
    In his original post the poster referenced the following. As to the new Library, see the end.
    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : 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 check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: 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.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • All my photos are Black Exclamation Marks - iphoto on ExtHD

    My iphoto library is stored on an ext HD. i had a power outage now when i reopen iphoto all photos are black exclamation marks. how can i restore or fix this? i tried rebuild function but it didnt work. thanks

    Since the rebuild fix didn't solve the problem give this a go:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/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 Library ➙ 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: 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.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    Note:  if the latest version, V4, of iPhoto Library Manager doesn't run download the earlier version, V3.  It's available at the same website.

  • In the last 36 hours my photos have jumbled within various albums. Random photos have attached at the end of an unrelated album, old photos have appeared again on Recently Added, some photos are missing but still on "collections". No date order

    Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album.  Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay.  This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which  I deleted again.  if  I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .

    Quick Update:
    I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it.  As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone.  I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
    Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to  a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments.  On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014.  As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either.  I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available).  So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
    In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did.  I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory.  Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
    Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
    P.S.  I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks.   There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
    No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
    This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug.  I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this.

  • I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original.

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original. On my iMac, I also have many folders containing some of the same photos. My computer is used for both personal and business purposes. My libraries should be separated, one for each.

    To merge libraries use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  or Aperature
    To find duplicates within an iPhoto library use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Photos that are not in an iPhoto library can be imported telling iPhoto not to import duplicates (an imperfect procews) and then IPLM can find the duplicates
    As to keeping seperate libraries - only you can do that - IPLM can move photos between libraries for you but only you can know which photos should be in which library

  • My photos are in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go back to their correct albums?

  • I converted some songs in iTunes to work with an eMusic device.  I'd like to delete them, but I'm not sure which of the duplicated songs to delete.  Some titles are black and some are gray.

    I converted some songs in iTunes to work with an eMusic device.  I'd like to delete them, but I'm not sure which of the duplicated songs to delete.  Some titles are black and some are gray.

    let's just doublecheck some things quickly. do any of the affected songs play in itunes at the moment? if so, when you play them, do they ask to be authorised?
    if so, does the authorisation go through successfully, or do you get an error message? (if you get an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    if the authorisation seems to go through successfully, with the authorised songs sync to the ipod?

  • Lightroom 5.6 Win8 64 import of some photos are not possible

    Lightroom 5.6 Win8 64 import of some photos are not possible: the photos are grey, the file name of the photos are already excisting in the catalog, older different photos, don’t Import Suspected Duplicates is not selected.

    When Lightroom greys out a photo in the Import dialog box, it means the photo is already in the catalog. It doesn't mean that it is matched with an older photo with the same name ... in order for there to be a match, the file name and capture date and file size must be identical.
    So Lightroom thinks you have already imported the photos, and you think the photos have not been imported. Now I'm sure you are a very nice person, but I believe Lightroom. What you need to do is to find the photos in your Library Module and use them there. The photos can be found by searching for them by file name, after turning off all filters, and after clicking on All PHotographs in the Library Module.

  • Some photos are not sorted correctly by date

    I just imported some photos from my friends camera who were on the same trip. However, I noticed that a couple (not all) of his photos are not sorted correctly by date in the Event. A photo from day 3 somehow comes before the photos from day 2. I checked the extended information and the dates on the photo are correct. Has anyone had this problem and know of a solution? Thanks.

    It might be of some help to delete the photo cache. Please see this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Some photo are counted but there are turn as white .

    I took pics by iPhone4s And share with mini ipad .

    As I click the small image  at camera roll that turns as white.
    Please anyone know the solution ?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Photos are black or grey in Photoshop Lightroom

    When you view your photos in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Windows, only a black or grey rectangle is displayed; you cannot see your photos.
    The linked
    Adobe Technote provides more information

    This could mean any of the following:
    You moved, renamed or deleted the photos (or the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom (hint: if this is what you did, don't do that any more)
    If the photos are on an external drive, the drive may be asleep or turned off
    If you use Windows, it could mean that the external drive has been assigned a different drive letter
    The fix is described here: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    If the problem is a different drive letter in Windows, you could simply change the drive letter back to what it was yesterday

  • Need EMERGENCY Help... some photos are solid green

    Been working on 8 different tribute videos all week... now exporting for showing at a banquet tonight and the problem is that some of the photos are appearing as green blocks. There is no consistency with file type, as some are jpegs and some are .psd. I have been doing these videos for 8 years and never had this probelm. I have tried exporting as MPEG-2, AVI and H.264. Same problem each time. Photos show up fine in PPro timeline. HELP!!!!

    If the images 'Preview Render' fine in the timeline, and it's an emergency,
    you could try exporting with 'Use Previews' checked.
    You will likely take a degree of quality hit, but if it's an emergency.....

  • Some photos are rotated within the wrong orientation

    Hello fellow mac users, I am having a strange issue and would like your help.
    Following a corruption of my iPhoto database, I used a third party software to repair the database. I also did additional things like repair thumbnails, etc... I managed to repair the library but I am now having a strange issue.
    Portrait photos are rotated within the portrait frame. To repair, I need to swap the resolution in Photoshop:
    1. What I see in iPhoto.
    2. Rotated photo in iPhoto. This is obsviously distorted.
    3. Original photo after inverting resolution in photoshop...
    Is there a conveninent way to perform a batch repair without having to open every photo one by one in photoshop??? I hame probably more than 500 photos like that!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    The picture now looks fine in iPhoto (thumbnail is still wrong)
    Then try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #2, Rebuild Thumbails.  It might take more than one try.
