Black screen in full view.(editing)

I have imported photos from a CD. One album that I created the photos are able to be seen in the thumbnail view, butt when I click on it to view full screen and edit I get a black screen. I have had no other problems with the or CDs I imported. Thanks Brain

    I have only a black screen in the viewer.

    I can view my title slides in the view but cannot view the video I am trying to edit or clips already in my project library.

  • Black Screen when trying to edit

    I have read other threads with this problem and posted, but no answers so thought I better start a new one. Hope I have included enough info so this situation can be fixed easily.
    When sorting photos by title there are two identical photos showing - I don't remember a duplicate issue happening. In the info they are the identical filename, size, time etc. One opens in edit mode the other has a black screen.
    I right clicked on each and for the one that shows up black, both the "show file" and "show original file" show up. When you click on "show file" there is nothing there - if you click on "show original file", folders come up, but not an individual file.
    For one that shows in edit mode, when right clicking "show file" the file is there highlighted. The "show originalfile" is grayed out. In "show file" I did a "get info" on the highlighted file and it shows that it is in the iPhoto Library - Original Folder.
    I went to the iPhoto library and clicked "show package info" and one of these duplicate files is there.
    Any ideas on what happened?
    Can I just delete the duplicate file in iPhoto and problem solved?
    I would rather not have to rebuild the library - if I have to - what if anything will I lose? (albums, slideshows, places, faces, anything?) I use Time Machine with an external dedicated drive but am not sure when this may have happened.
    Just thought of one other thing. I did some work on this photo using Adobe Photoshop Elements. I could not do a simple save back to iPhoto due to the changes made - so I did a save-as to the desktop and then did a file import of that file and it is fine. I'm thinking now this may be a clue as to what might have caused all of this.

    First I suggest you backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
    Click to view full size
    This will not lost any albums, slideshows, faces or places. When that is done you can check those blank duplicates and delete them from the library. You'll still have the backup if the end result is not an improvement.

  • Black Screen When Trying to Edit Photos

    I have the same problem as many others: When trying to Edit a photo, double clicking it creates a normal enlarged screen but this screen is all black. The problem has been raised by many for some time but no solutions have been identified. Should I be surprised that Apple has not yet addressed or even recognize the problem?

    what does it mean to right con it?
    Sorry - right "click" - fat fingers here
    when i try to view photos on full screen, i now get a black screen with a white exclamation point. i view these pictures earlier this year with no problem. please help!
    That indicates that iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnail and the full photo - if you have not been messing around inside the iPhoto library (you NEVER should do this) then backup and rebuild your library - depress the command and options keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your library form the last automatic database backup - if that does not fix it use the other options - as a last resort use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to rebuild your library

  • Cannot see full view/edit photo but thumbnail ok

    Hi. I have recently imported a load of photo's and have found that when I click on a thumbnail or select full view or edit the photo appears briefly & then disappears. Don't know why. I have followed the advice from Apple (although it relates to iphoto6 & I using iphoto8) plus a suggestion in the discussion forum about deleting the iphoto.plist from my preference file. But this has not helped.
    Any advice would be grateful.
    Please note that the above only relates to a an import I have recently done. The old 'events' etc work fine. Also the photo's that disappear from the recent import appear to only be ones that are full 6x4 ratio... when I have cropped them (previously in photoshop) they do not suffer from this.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Not sure the big-endian/little-endian thing is the problem.
    I went back to the original image, which was little-endian, imported it to iphoto and it displays the same behavior. Here's part of the exif info:

  • Black screen when trying to edit a photo

    When my wife attempts to edit a photo in iPhoto the photo area goes black:. she is running the latest iPhoto on a MacBook running Lion

    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). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) 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?

  • Has anyone encountered an "exclamation  point" in a white circle centered on a black screen when trying to edit a photo?

    Has anyone encountered an "exclamation point symbol" in a gray circle surrounded by a black screen when editing in iphoto? 

    Yes.
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • MSI GT683 Black Screen and full fan speed at startup

    Hello!
    SO this morning i woke up and was about to start my lovely laptop.
    I pressed the on button and the screen remained black and the fan sped up slowly and slowly, after 10 sec it was at full throttle!
    Yesterday i got tired and put my laptop to "sleep mode" because I meant to use it later, but I fell asleep can something have happened by that?
    I have had this laptop for 3 months, never had a single problem. But now this :(
    And a really need my laptop for school now!
    When i bought it one 2GB ram module was changed to a 4BG so the total would be 8GB, and a 60GB SSD was installed on the second HDD slot.(Boots on 22 sec )
    I have played a few hours of COD MW3 but i have a coolermaster laptop cooling pad with 2 fans, so the laptop did not get so hot when i played.
    So please anyone help?
    (I´ve tried booting with only one ram installed and tried my ssd in my other laptop, both are fine.)

    I know this is an old topic but I just had the same issue and wanted to post my results in case anyone else was having this issue and stumbles on this thread. I was playing a game on my laptop, temperatures were well within the normal range, and suddenly the computer made a sort of "zap" noise and the screen went black. The computer also fell deathly silent but the power light (the shield) was still on. No indicator lights on the mouse pad and the orange lights around the screen had gone out. I had no choice but to do a hard shutdown. When I turned it back on, the screen remained black, the power light remained lit, but no other lights on the computer. The fan was on ultra speed in a way that I have never heard my fan run. I smelled the exhaust to see if I smelled burning but there wasn't any sign of that. Anyway, I let the computer rest, tried again the next day with the same result. I contacted my warranty company, started a claim, and waited for them to send me the box so I could ship my laptop to them. In the meantime, determined as I am  , I tried the laptop several more times in the next few days just to see if I would have any luck. Sometimes the fan would come on and sometimes the laptop would be ghostly quiet but otherwise everything else was the same. Same blackness, same nothingness. I immediately assumed this was a major malfunction, most likely the motherboard. When the warranty company took the information for the claim, they agreed that it sounded like the motherboard or possibly the hard drive.
    Three weeks later, my laptop is on its way back to me. I received word from the warranty company that the issue was the graphics card. This completely blew my mind as I wouldn't expect the graphics card to prevent the indicator lights from flashing, the  soft touch keys at the top of the keyboard, the lights on the sides of the screen, etc. They are the experts however, right? They said the video card malfunctioned. They replaced the video card and now the laptop is in working order. They are sending it back to me now and I should hopefully receive it in the next couple of days.
    Sorry for the looooooong response but I wanted to give as much info as possible because I couldn't really find anything when I was searching for this same issue. Hope it helps someone!

  • Black screen on TV with M40-250

    using ati card
    using svideo cable to scart cable
    when powering up tvmode
    black screen on tv
    also with fn f5 black screen.
    Someone suggestions
    [Edited by: admin on 12-Nov-05 08:22]

    Hi
    It is not easy to say why this happen. I presume that you need some SCART adaptor. If your TV has an S-Video port it will be interesting to know if you make direct connection without any adaptors.
    Black screen can occur if you start DVD movie and after that try to change to TV mode.

  • When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

    After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines.

  • Whenever i go to open a picture message in full view the black loading screen just comes up with no picture? (verizon iphone 5)

    I have a 32gig iphone 5 on verizon and whenever i go to open a picture message the black screen that says loading just comes up and i can't view the picture... any help? PLEASE!

    Try using the wall charger to charge your iPhone.  Some USB ports do not enough power to charge your phone, or at the very least, it will take a much longer time than a wall charger.
    You will find that after having it plugged into the wall for 10min, it will have enough power to indicate that the battery is now charging.
    Save your money from buying a battery for your next iPhone  :-)

  • IPhoto gives black screen when I try to use Slideshow or Edit

    Hi:
    I have a new Powerbook Pro with Snow Leopard and iLife 09. I can see all of my photos in the library, but when I try to go to full screen view, or try to edit a photo, I get a black screen. For the full screen view, the thumbnails are aligned at the top of the screen if I move the cursor there, but the screen remains black where the photo is supposed to be. I tried rebuilding the library (option + control when launching iPhoto), and deleted the iPhoto plist file in the library - preferences folder, but the problem persists.
    Thanks

    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.+*

  • Switced from Full GUI installation to minimal server interface or server core and stucked on black screen with no option

    hi.
    i have a virtual machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center Edition, using Hyper-V technology, as a lab machine to test and practice core features.
    I tried to test the ability of switching to Core (and even the Minimal Server Interface after stuck and revert!)
    using Powershell commands as bellow:
    Import-Module ServerManager
    Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell -Restart
    and it goes well until windows configured removal features and reboots. but
    after that the VM will stuck in a black screen.
    Tried to reach RUN TASK window to bring up CMD.EXE or any thing but even the ALT+CTRL+DEL (ALT+CTRL+END in VM) is not working and technically i cant do anything. considering CPU USAGE in hyper-V Manager is changing for the VM, i let the VM
