After Import, thumbnails black, full screen OK

I imported a set of pictures from file. Some are tif. Some are jpg. After the import, I found 2 pictures that yielded a black thumbnail. When I clicked on the picture, to show it in a small screen, it looked like a negative. When I clicked in the picture for full screen edit, all was OK.
Any clues as to what is wrong??

I ran the jpg pictures thru Preview and saved them as TIFF. Then imported them without a problem. Looked easier than trying to figure out how to give these old B/W pictures an RGB profile!
Thanks again for the help.

Cannot View Thumbnails in Full Screen

I imported 195 photo from my SD memory card to iphotos. I had a problem importing a .avi file to iphotos when I was importing the 195 photos which warranted a force quit to bypass the spinning beachball. The pictures all now show in Thumbnails and when i get info on the the total size is 175mb and all individual pictures size range from 600KB to 1MB. When I opt to view these pictures in full size i get a fullscreen exclamation mark.
These pictures are of a recent family trip to Disneyland and I am crossing my fingers that these can be retreaved so they can be view in full screen mode.
I would appreciate any assistance in finding a solution?

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
However, that Force Quit may have damaged the iPhoto database, and if the above doesn't work, Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

My iPad wont turn on, its black screen then i press home power buttons together and white screen with black apple logo come out after 5 seconds black "lighten" screen comes out and its stuck just like that! Whats the problem?

HI
this happened today suddenly while i was working on my iPad it kicked my out of the app that i was using then white screen with black apple logo came out, i thought it was an ordinary thing cause this happens all the time with me, but this time it refused to turn on! After the white screen with the black logo vanished i wad waiting for my lock screen but no, a black screen showed up just like that! And could tell it was black "lighten" screen i tried more than 10 times to do the home+power thing but it wont work, whats wrong with my ipad!

If the battery is completely drained it may take some time while on the charger before the iPad responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait one hour. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If it doesn't start up make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. They will examine your iPad and explain your options.

Changing thumbnails to full screen viewing

Hello
When I double click on a jpeg thumbnail image in iPhoto to view full screen, the full screen version will not appear.
It starts to appear but then what ends up showing is a exclamation mark with a grey background.
This happens with all of the older jpegs in the library.
I did the command/option thing when opening iPhoto to rebuild the photo library and, that didn't make any difference.
It's probably been a couple of month's since I last used iPhoto on this MacBook and, didn't have this problem.
So, I downloaded some newer jpegs and when I double click those thumbnails, they open in full screen viewing mode with no problems.
Any ideas why the older jpegs will not open to view full screen?
Using iPhoto 09 Ver. 8.1.2
The OS for the laptop is MAC OS X Ver 10.6.8

The exclamation mark is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the orignal files. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2 and later or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) 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 File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) 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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do you import while using full screen in iPhoto?

I am running Lion with the latest version of iPhoto, and have been getting used to the full screens. Is there any way to import photos into iPhoto while the full screen function is enabled? I am using an iPhone 4 and a Sony NEX-5, each of which would normally open iPhoto when they were plugged in. Now either nothing happens, and the full screen stays open, or the full screen goes away and I have the menu bar, but it does not default to the import interface. I have image capture set to open iPhoto with each of these cameras. Just a bug? Thanks.

what's the point of this "full screen" mode when one actually loses features of an application?
i think apples full screen mode is close to being the worst implementation of this feature ever.
not to mention that when running two monitors, the second monitor is practically useless.

How do I get back to default screen display after clicking View/Full Screen Display?

After I click View/Full Screen on the Firefox menu bar, I lose the main FF Menu bar. When I hit the esc key, the screen remains locked in full screen view mode. Then I have to reboot my computer to get back to the default FF menu and display mode.
Why doesn't the esc key work the way it works when I'm viewing videos in full screen mode?

Try Fn + F11

Monochrome (RAW) images (from Canon EOS 5D) after importing back to color mode

After importing monochrome (black and white) images their thumbnails appear as such but after a couple of seconds they are reverted to color mode. Import XMP Metadata from file does not change anything. Do I overlook or miss something here?

THe initial BW preview is the one from the camera, then LR builds its own ignoring everything but WB and setting its standrard default. You can create a Develop preset for BW than looks similar to your cameras initial output preview and apply it to all importing images when you shoot 'BW' digital.

Adobe Reader - Open in SuSE 11 full screen

I was having issues with the reader plugin for Firefox on a linux terminal so I am abandoning the plugin all together. I am switching to use acroread and open a new Reader window instead of a tab within Firefox.
Can anyone tell me which file controls the Reader to open in full screen window? I have firefox open to a web page, I click on a pdf, a new window opens ( Adobe Reader window, not a firefox window) with the PDF. This window is only about 1/4 size and I want to have it open full screen. If I resize the window by using the corner handle, every window after that one is full screen. Problem is, I have to make this change on a large number of remote machines and a file change is the only way I can do it.
I thought it was either ../ Adobe/9.0/Preferences/reader.prefs or ../ Adobe/9.0/Preferences/mozilla/prefs.js but not seeing anything pertinant there to the change.
Any thoughts?
SuSE 11
Firefox 3.6
Adobe Reader 9.4
Thanks,

yet another problem with Adobe X1 and where is Adobe to own up to the mutlitude of problems with this release- missing in action!!

Safari + Silverlight + Full screen = MBP suddenly shuts off and restarts

In the past few weeks, my MacBook Pro has unexpectedly shut off and then started back up three times. Each time it happened while I was watching full-screen Silverlight video in Safari (4.0.3) — twice on the Netflix website and once on the NBC Sports website.
The first time I had been watching the video for several minutes before it happened; I switched to a different computer to finish my movie.
The second time it happened as soon as I switched into full-screen. I watched the rest of the game in a window (i.e., not full-screen) without incident.
The third time happened after seven minutes of full-screen video. I switched over to Camino (1.6.9) and was able to watch the rest of my movie in full-screen without incident.
I've watched full-screen video in Safari many times before without problems, but the last three incidents have occurred the last three times I've done it (i.e., it now seems to be happening every time).
Each time, my MBP was connected to power, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Could it be an overheating issue? The fact that I was running the same software combination each time suggests to me that it's a software problem, but the symptom suggests hardware. Thoughts?

Update, As of today, they STILL haven't shipped me a new battery, they claim they are within their 5-7 business days limit still and that it might/should ship tomorrow.
I went into an Apple Moron Bar today and inquired about swapping one out in the store (they had plenty in stock) because the Applecare tech I spoke to said that it might be a faster option. The Apple 'tech' (seriously, he might be really good at ipods, but I doubt he knows how to turn on anything worth more than $300 with an apple logo on it, much less troubleshoot it) claimed he didn't have any batteries in stock.
"Excuse me, but you have a shelf full of them over there"
"I don't have any for replacement, you are welcome to buy another though or I can order one from Apple"
Great, so my MacDesk Pro is still without battery power.

Minimizing from full screen for no reason

When I watch movies on the internet and switch to full screen mode after a few mins full screen minimizes back to the web page. how can I stop this?

Thanks for clarification, I often state: so many photographers, so many
workflows...
Personally I think the full screen preview is more meant for sorting
properties then to view the changes made in ACR but it might be a nice
Feature Request (there is a dedicated forum page for this, see the links at
right side of main forum page.
For what it is worth, I tried your way of working and after altering in ACR
I don't have the appearance of the Bridge Window in front, the full screen
preview updates almost immediately. However now the top menu bar for Bridge
is showing as well as my Dock so also on a Mac this workflow is not going to
work 100 % for you
A workaround might be to create your own workspace in Bridge using the
filmstrip mode as basic. Drag the preview panel for this to a size as big as
possible without losing the content panel (place the content panel either at
left side or at top with dragging until you see the blue lines). Now you
should have fast changing big previews without interfering of Bridge window.
For sorting you could choose filename after you have renamed the files. I
use Photodownloader for this upon ingestion rename the files with yyyymmdd
and a sequence number to leave them in natural order I created the files but
with no change to overwrite older files due to limited naming convention
dSLR uses.
But there are many ways to rename, even after having files already in Bridge
sorted with date created and then using batch rename with a proper naming
convention, but that is up to you
I regularly work on photos by starting with a full-screen preview and keying
Ctrl-R to open with ACR. When I am finished with ACR, I am returned to the
full-screen preview. I am guessing that the reorganisation of the Content
panel is what causes the Bridge window to come to the foreground (covering the
full-screen preview) after several seconds. This is all that could be
happening.

Black thumbnails and negative images after import

I'm experiencing a problem with iPhoto 6 and some images importing with black thumbnails and negative main images.
I've tried replacing the sRGB Profile.icc (it wasn't missing for me), but that didn't work.
Any suggestions?
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Are those negative images B/W photos? If so they may be Grayscale mode. Download the "Embed sRGB Profile" Automator application form Toad's Cellar and drop the original files for those photos onto it. If it's a grayscale mode file it will correct the situation. iPhoto 6 does not play well with Grayscale images.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

After Import, thumbnails black, full screen OK
