Wrong photo opens?

When I try to open a photo which is in a file folder (not iPhoto) the wrong photo opens. Instead of the one I'm trying to open, the photo next to it in the folder opens. Same thing when I drag that photo to the desktop. The one I'm dragging doesn't end up on the desktop. The one next to it does. What gives?

Hi scallywak,
Try this:
Close iPhoto
Navigate to the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder
Drag the Data folder and the three thumbnail files in the library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild screen.
Check all the thumbnail options.
Let iPhoto rebuild the library and hopefully all will be well when done.

  • When I try to open a photo, the wrong photo comes up!

    I added some pictures to Iphoto 6 & the program asked me to reindex, so I clicked OK. Now everything is all mixed up. The wrong photo opens when I try to open one up. Also, my thumnails looks strange - some are squished (for lack of a better term). Is there anything I can do to get them back in order & reindexed properly? I have over 4000 photos. Is this just too much? I'm afraid to upgrade to Iphoto 8 until this indexing problem (if that's what it is) is resolved. Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop

    Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop. This is annoying and only happens 10-20% of the time. I then have to drag the photos to the desktop PSE is running in. Unfortunately I cannot find any pattern s to when this will happen. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

    Workflow-
    iPhoto 9.5.1 open in desktop 1
    PSE 12 open in desktop 2
    In iPhoto I select 4 photos, rt click on one of the photos, select edit external editor
    Most of the time the photos open in desktop 2, but 10-20% of the time they will open in desktop 1. I then show all the desktops (F3) and drag the photos to desktop 2.
    I can see there is going to be a lot of finger pointing (iPhoto vs OSX vs PSE) as to which piece of the operation is dropping the ball. iPhoto finds the 4 photos, opens them in PSE, but someone lost the desktop information. With that said, I think the iPhoto programers need to talk to the OSX programers to determine if the desktop information is being correctly passed. (I would guess that PSE assumes all PSE windows will be on the same desktop)
    As an aside, I can perform most of my PSE operations in desktop 1 using keyboard shortcuts.

  • Does anyone elses iphoto thumbnails show the wrong photos in album ?

    This is a relatively new problem i am having.... when i open an album and the zoom is over c.20% or you change the zoom the thumbnails show the wrong photo. when you open to edit, the correct photo opens. This is veeeerrrry annoying. can anyone shed any light on this ?

    Hi slipstream1,
    I don't know why that started happening for you.
    Try this:
    Close iPhoto
    Navigate to where you have the iPhoto Library on your hard drive
    Drag the three thumbnail files found loose in the root of the Library folder to the desktop
    Hold down the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto until you get the rebuild window
    Choose the options to rebuild the thumbnails
    Hopefully this will fix it for you.

    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

    When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2?  Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

    Update:  I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
    On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto").  This seems to have corrected the issue.  I'm not sure why.  Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

  • I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. Plug-in camera raw is missing

    I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. a plug-in camera raw  xx is missing. Advice to update does not work. There is no plug-in in the map photoshop plug-ins.

    This is expected. CS4 will never be able to open files from a current version of LR and a modern camera.

  • Photos Open in 64 bit version rather than 32

    I installed CS5 yesterday and have both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions on my computer.  I copied my plug-ins and they are located in the 32 bit version, so I prefer to have my photos open in that version of CS5.  My problem is that if I have a photo that I want to open from my "Picture" folder it automatically opens in the 64 bit version.  I am not given the option of opening in the 32 bit version.  I know that I can open it from Bridge or Photoshop; however, sometimes I just want to be able to click on the photo and open it in CS5.  Can you help me??

    Yes, open Bridge and go to edit/preferences/file type associations.
    Scroll down the list and change the default to the x86 version
    of PS.  You will have to browse to the bridge.exe
    in the 32 bit version and click on it.
    Hope this helps

  • Thumbnail shows wrong photo

    Hi, there!
    I have 5000 pix in my iPhoto 4 library and have been having trouble with the thumbnails showing the wrong photo. I noticed this first when a thumbnail was very horizontally compressed. . .and when double clicking onto it (to go from "organize" to "edit") it showed a different photo. The title is right and the photo is correct in edit mode, the thumbnail is just wrong. I think maybe a third of my library is currently affected.
    I saw that someone posted a similar question a few months ago, and the only answer suggested was to select all the wrong photos and "revert to original" in the photos menu. I can't do this, b/c that option is grayed.
    What I've been doing to correct the problem is dragging the photo to my desktop, then when I re-import it, it comes in with the correct thumbnail. (then, I delete the one with the wrong thumbnail.) A tedious way to do it, plus I'm losing some of my info, like the date the photo was shot.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Start iPhoto while holding the optioncommandshift keys until you're prompted about rebuilding the iPhoto library database. Click "yes", then the blue button. Go have a pizza while your library is rebuilt.

  • Syncing Wrong Photos/Pictures

    I have an iPhone 3GS with FW 3.1.3 and Windows XP operating system and everytime I try and sync lately, I get the wrong photos/pictures that come up with podcasts and videos.
    I have 2 videos on my iPhone and in iTunes it shows the correct picture under TV shows, I also have 30 podcasts from the same source and the photo shown under podcasts in iTunes is correct but when I sync, 20 of them have album art from somewhere else. I have tried numerous syncs, have tried to uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall it but it never seems to work properly.
    I also have a movie that the same problem occurs to when I sync.
    Any suggestions, thank you very much.

    I have had the same problem with my 3GS and Windows 7. The wrong cover art sync happens haphazardly and changes.

  • Default Photo Opener

    How do I set iPhoto as my default photo opener?

    Herbz
    welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    How do I set iPhoto as my default photo opener?
    iPhoto is not a photo viewer and can not be the default photo opener - you must import photos into iPhoto before you can operate on them there
    By default it is the default camera download program - to change that you go to the iPhoto preferences and set the program you want to open when a camera is connected
    To change the default program to open photos right click (control click) on a photo and use the open with command and click to always use use this program option

  • Wrong photo gets flagged

    I have a weird problem with the wrong photo(s) often getting flagged for rejection in the Ligthroom3 Beta. Here's one way to make it happen:
    1. In grid view select a number of photos, say 6
    2. Switch to survey view
    3. Flag all but 2 for rejection and click the little X box in the bottom right corner of the images to deselect them
    4. Switch to Compare mode to compare the final 2 images. For this example, let's say images #3 and #6 are still unflagged and selected
    5. Flag one of the images for rejection. Let's say you flag image #3.
    6. Switch back to grid view
    I would expect that photo #6 would not be flagged, and the rest would be flagged. Instead, all but image #3 are flagged.
    I've also had the wrong photo get flagged when I still had multiple images in survey view, but I'm not sure what sequence of operations produces that behavior.
    Is there something wrong with the way I'm trying to use flags?

    As per my post above, I believe the fix to be:
    "When I got to General, I worked my way down the list and imagine my surprise when I found Siri of all things had her name down against it and not mine.  Lo and Behold, when I changed this to my name and returned to iMessage, my photo now displayed against my replies.
    So, if you have someone else's photo showing on your iMessage replies I strongly recommend you look at Settings > General > Siri first!"
