A black triangle comes up when I try to edit a picture from i photo ---how do I get rid of this and what does it mean?library--what does this mean and how do I get rid of it?

A black triangle come up in i photo when I try to edit a picture from my library.  I don't know what it means or how to get rid of it?  Thanks for
any help.

In iTunes, click on "iTunes" in the menu bar, then on "About iTunes". Which version do you have?
If you are running OS X 10.5.8 (as per your signature), the iTunes 10.6.3 is the latest you can install and use. If your iTunes version is older, you can get that 10.6.3 here and see if it can deal with the library.
The latest iTunes, version 10.7, requires OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Unless your signature is wrong and you run a late Snow Leopard, Lion or even Mountain Lion, it won't work for you, and you could add me to the list of people asking the same question as Allan, "where's that library from?".

  • When I try to access a picture from i photo the picture will come up and then quickly the screen goes black and there is a white exclamation mark.  Also when using faces and scrolling down pictures some disappear very quickly after a brief look.

    When using i photo and trying to pull up individual photos - the photo will appear and quickly disappear only to be replaced by a black screen with a white explanation mark.  This happens with all of my photos.  Has anyone had this problem and if so what can be done to fix it.  I did not select this graphic to be added to my i photo pictures - the blace sign with the white explanation mark.  Also, when scrolling down photos in faces some of my pictures disappear after a quick view. 
    Thanks for any help you can provide.  It seems like something has gotten into my i photo picture account?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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. .

  • I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto.  My iCloud email works ok otherwise.  I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

    In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
    Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

    When i try to import my pictures from my camera i get an error saying unreadable files. What do i do to import them?

    First launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, and see if you can upload the phiotos to a folder on the Desktop.  If you can then import the folder into iPhoto.
    Then reformat the memory card using the camera's format option, take a few test photos and try importing into iPhoto again.

  • TS4180 My ipod touch turns off when I try to edit my pictures

    My daughter just purchased this Ipod 4 and when she trys to edit her pictures, the ipod shuts off and restarts again.  Does anybody know why this occurs and how to fix it?

    Other than updating the operating system, I wouldn't obsess over it.  The thing is brand new.  Contact Apple - 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

  • IPhoto '08 - No image comes up when I try to edit photos.

    When I open the edit screen the only thing that shows up is the thumbnails at the top. There is no pic in the main screen to edit. What is going on? I really hope its not something simple or I will be really ******.
    Thanks for any help

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Fix #2
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    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 User/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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    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.

  • When I try to email a picture from Iphoto, I get the error message "email server didn't recognize your username/password"

    I have been trying to email pictures from Iphoto, but it tells me that the email server doesn't recognize the username/password combination.  How do I go about changing this? 

    no problem if you don't like Mail - I do and most iPhoto users do not relealise that with '11 this changed and is easly moved back
    Oh, I like it - I just don't like it when the built-in iPhoto mailer does not work, for it should work. I like to use both - Mail and iPhoto. To have both, I have set iPhoto as mailer, and when I want to use Mail.app, I simply drag the photos from iPhoto to the Mail icon in the Dock.

  • The keyboard does not come up when I try to edit contacts on my i4s

    Please help

    The keyboard will not appear when you first hit the Edit button. It will not appear until you tap into one of the fields that you want to edit, such as name or number.
    If it still isn't appearing there, then try powering the phone off and then back on again, test. Still not working? Then try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect any of your data. See if it works after that.

  • Adobe plash plug in crashes when I try to attach a picture from My Pictures

    I am trying to attach a picture from My Pictures folder to an email. When I press attach files, it disappears quickly and I see the message that my "Adobe Flash Plug-in has crashed.
    What do I do?
    Al

    Yes, as long as it is words, but when I want to do a picture it refuses. The pictures library is part of Window 7. The help program just said to be sure it was connected, power was on to it, unplug and replug, then restart my computer. I did all that. I prints photos that are in other programs. When I first started with 7 I didn't understand how it worked and some pictures were posted in documents. Those pictures print. Windows 7 seems to put the pictures where ever it wants them. I have Picasso on my computer and it doesn't pick up any of the pictures in the pictures library. So I still can't get Firefox to print pictures.
    Thanks for the reply. Iva

  • When I try to enlarge my pictures in I Photo they go to a "!"

    When I try to enlarge my photos in I Photo on my Mac Book Pro all I get is a "!".  It also appears next to all of the music that I have in Itunes.

    In iPhoto, that means the photos don't have a high enough resolution to make good quality enlargements from. I don't know what it means in iTunes.
