WHAT has iPhoto 6 done to half of my photos?

I know this has no doubt been covered in earlier posts, but I have to draw further attention to it otherwise we all know Apple will just politely ignore it! All my photos appeared wonderfully well-adjusted in iPhoto 5, and since 'upgrading' to iPhoto 6 about half of my photos have a horrific red saturated tinge to them when viewed as thumbnails. I know this is something to do with ColorSync profiles, but isn't iPhoto for the non-expert, non-colorsyncing user? I've noticed that if I make a tiny non-adjustment and then save the image the thumbnail appears correctly. But do I really have to do this for upwards of 2,000 photos?! Is there no 'rebuild thumbnails properly' option? C'mon Apple... the performance benefits and the rest in iPhoto 6 are fantastic, but if the photos look ******, what's the point? Eh?! EH!?

what is happening is that iPhoto 6 is now using a "default" profile for VIEWING any image that is "untagged". the crazy over-saturated images will look fine if you mail, export or basically do anything to take them out of iPhoto 6.
it was super lame of iPhoto not allowing the user to set their own default profile (ala Photoshop) and even way lamer to make it some crazy super saturated one at that, they should have chosen sRGB.
also, unless i am missing something, there is no way in iPhoto to tell what profile you have assigned to each image... that should have been included in the info area, or at the very least in the "Get Info" panel. So until they get with the program you will have to pop em open in Photoshop.
In short this update could have been so much more. I am pretty dissappointed. The add ColorSync profile radio button in the preferences is a joke.
I won't even start ranting about the 150 "stray" photos it "found" during the update, nor the whole "revert to original" changing the density of my thumbnails, but not the actual image. Especially on images which should not even have the "revert to original" lit up in the first place.
What a mess, I think the iPhoto team is on crack.

  • What has iPhoto done with my my movies?

    Hi,
    I uploaded my photos and movies onto iPhoto 11 but the movies have 'disappeared'; they don't show up at all, and I can't access them.  Please help as I deleted them from my SD card!

    Thanks for sharing. If you're looking for assistance you're going to need to offer a lot more information than that.
    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.

  • What has Snow Leopard done to iPhoto?

    I've recently installed Snow Leopard & have yet to see any great differences or benefits.
    The big problem I am having is that iPhoto is incredibly slow now in panning zoomed images.
    e.g. I open an image in full screen and zoom in (which is slower than previously) and then use the multitouch function on the touchpad to pan... And I am presented with lag which appears to be buffered - i.e. I move my fingers in a certain pattern and then remove them & the software gradually follows this path with a lengthy delay.
    Any ideas or help?

    I know what you mean. Ever since I purchased Snow Leopard, my Mac has been acting un-Mac like. iPhoto hangs during simple operations. I've had to do a forced shut down. This is getting a little irritating, I hope they resolve these issues soon.

  • I bought an ipod touch 4 from ebay, and I tried registering it in my name but it says I cannot because its still registered under another user. My question is, what has to be done in order for my ipod to be registered in my account?

    I recently bought an ipod touch 4 from ebay, and I tried to register it under my name but appearently its still registered under someone elses; probably the person I bought it from. What can be done so that I can register my ipod touch 4 to my apple id account?

    If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process.

  • Error message - what has the boy done now?

    My son deleted his playlist on iTunes on Saturday for some unknown reason. Today he plugged in his iPod and all the songs on it deleted/erased.
    So I thought, just create a new playlist right? Yet after multiple tries, I get a message saying that the iPod cannot be synced because all playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
    I am so confused. What step am I missing or foregtting?

    See this user tip.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607312&#607312
    For versions of iTunes from 7 onwards, the option to "update selected playlists" is now under the "music" tab in the summary screen.

  • What has Mountain Lion done to iCal sync?

    I'm seeing lots of questions about iCal post-Mountain Lionon these forums, but far fewer answers on this one!
    I have four calendars on my iPhone 4 that run my life. Pre-Mountain Lion upgrade on my iMac they all synched perfectly well via iCloud with my iPad and iMac.
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the iPhone and iPad still sync properly. However, when I went into iCal on the iMac two days back, for the first time since the Mountain Lion upgrade, I think, none of my calendars were there. The only calendar showing was one for birthdays, which I don't ever recall setting up. My iCloud account was missing from iCal's "Preferences". Adding it back in restored all of my calendars, and I thought I'd sorted this problem.
    However, today, I opened iCal on the iMac again today, and my calendars were all missing again. Just that "Birthdays" calendar there.The iMac hasn't been powered down or re-started during the time since I reinstated the iCloud details to iCal.
    So, today, I've added my iCloud account to iCal's preferences again, but I don't have much faith that this alone is the solution, given that I did that two days ago too.
    Anyone else getting this? Seems a basic sync error, but I can't work out why iCal should be "forgetting" iCloud accounts that have been added?

    My problem is similar.. updraded to ML from 10.6.8 and now the Birthdays from Contacts are ot showing up on the main calendar.. I have the "show Birthday Calendar" checkid in calendare preferences..

  • The photos imported in iPhoto cants be seen in my "picture fold".What is to be done so that all the photos can be seen in the picture folderr

    I am not able to see the pictures imported directly to Iphoto library in "Picture Folder"( Picture folder show only the libraray and not photos.  Because of this I am not able to attach photos to my email.

    The following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto.  It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running: 
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation   which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3.Show File:
    a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • What has to be done in order for your play data--Last Played, and Play Count--to be updated from "cloud" play of your music?  Thanks

    When playing music in the cloud, music on my MacBook's library play data is not updated.  Does anyone know how to make that work, or if it is even possible?  If it's not possible, why even ha

    If you manage the music on your iPod Touch manually the playcount and last played data does not get updated in iTunes. It works that way for all iPod models.
    To solve this problem you can do the following:
    - Create a playlist in which you add all the songs you want to add to your iPod Touch
    - Set your iPod to sync music automatically. On the music tab configure the iPod Touch to only sync the previously created playlist.
    - Sync your iPod Touch.
    Now you can manage the content of your iPod Touch by managing the contents of the playlist and then sync. And most importantly it will update your playcount and last played data.
    Hope this helps,
    Marc

  • IPhoto slideshows don't transfer over to Photos?

    My iPhoto slideshows are listed under the Photos app, but none of the settings were transferred, or music selections?  Any way to recover these?

    Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
    In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

  • IPhoto would import only half my Nikon photos--rest not supported

    Hello Out There. I use Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1.
    With my Nikon D70 I shot some pics yesterday and shot some more today. iPhoto would only load the pics from yesterday. Image capture wouldn't load them either. In both cases File Not Supported came up.
    Any thoughts on how I can resolved this? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Terence. I registered for a trial of Adobe Illustrator and uploaded files from there and then transferred to iPhoto.
    Many thanks for your suggestion. I don't have a card reader--but I see that they are not all that expensive. I will remember this alternative in the future.
    Cheers.

  • I don't know what has happened but I can't open iPhoto. When I try to open it I receive a caution "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I solve this??!!

    I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    Here's one way to do what you want:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
