Blank images in slideshow

I have just downloaded iphoto 11. I am able to see thumbnail pictures, but am unable to see images in slideshow. I only see blanks. Anyway round the problem?

Are you able to see the full sized images of those photos in the Event or Photos mode? If not what do you see?
If you see just a blank window or this image in the window:
Then try the following:
If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and 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 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 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.

Black (blank) images in slideshow

Hi All.
Bit of a newbie here.
I have selected a group of images (each thumbnail shows an image) and when I create a slideshow there are numerous images that show up blank.
Is there anything i can do about this?
If I hit the spacebar they also show up as blank even though there is a thumbnail image.
I am accessing the iPhoto database off an external hd due to size limitations on my laptop.
Thanks in advance!

I've got an iomega 500GB drive connected with two usb connections (I guess this helps with power?).
Yep it needs more power than a single USB connection can provide, so one connection is the data connection, the other just takes power from the computer. Not all USB drives are like this. Just the way that one was made / the type of drive inside the enclosure.
It looks like I have 70 KB available (I know) on the external.
Eek. This is issue #1.
Is there a way to check it?!
Boot to the install disk for your computer and use Disk Utility to check and see how Available space it thinks you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, can I please ask you if there is a sort of "due diligence" maintenance (other than leaving enough room for the library, not disconnecting the external without ejecting it and backing it up) that I need to do for iPhoto?
Not really. Just keep regular backups and even multiple backups of the library.
If you have now freed up space on your external drive and the issue is still happening, follow this article and rebuild your iPhoto Library checking off the bottom 3 options: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

Bug in iPhoto 6? Blank images in edit and slideshows

Hi...
Have read a few threads on this topic, and it seems to be widespread. The usual helpful comments are made, but I really don't think that this has anything to do with something that the users are doing (e.g. copying libraries, moving libraries, etc..). Also, it seems to be happening to a number of people in exactly the same way, since iPhoto 6 was launched.
I have been using iPhoto since the beginning, have about 40,000 files in several libraries, and I have never seen anything like this.
The problem is that out of several hundred images in an individual library (uncopied, and not edited at the finder level or anywhere but iPhoto), a few of them are blank when you view them in edit mode or in a slideshow. This seems to be some sort of internal iPhoto corruption, and not related to the photos themselves (same camera and computer hardware that I have been using for years).
Also, the images themselves seem to be OK. When you export them from iPhoto to the desktop and open them in Preview or Photoshop, they are fine, and when you reimport them into iPhoto, they seem OK too.
Obviously, this is a big problem, and even though I can workaround for a single photo, I can't be doing this on an ongoing basis for all of my shots..
Anyone have any ideas? Is there a way to submit this question to Apple directly?
Thanks very much!!
Mike

I foolishly tried this on a separate Mac on a different library, that one with 22000 images that I had not edited (since the old iPhoto would just die a slow death on that sized library).
I actually only spent the money for iPhoto 6 (iLife's remainder package did not have any compelling use for me right now) and its ability to handle 25000 images.
Well, it is faster (i.e. it does not go to sleep for 12 minutes) if I click the scroll button but the blank images problem showed up there also. And ALL of those pictures were standard jpgs and not one was from a weird camera or ever modified or otherwise tweaked if that were an excuse for iPhoto 6 misbehaving with some pictures.
VERY annoying and very strange that they would not see this in Beta testing. Assuming they do test. So, folks, if you are planning to buy iLife for iPhoto, be forewarned. I will add this to my TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY blog entries at http://imran.com/media/blog/ so people are aware.

Disk Utility: Creating a new blank image receiving "file too large" error.

Hello All!
I'm trying to create a 10GB non-encrypted, non-compressed RW blank image via the disk utility. The DU runs for a few minutes then barfs out "file too large" error. I have over 30GB free on my HDD. I tried with a smaller size of 6GB to no avail. Also tried unsuccessfully to create from a file (about 4 GB). My ultimate goal is to create a case-insensitive image to run an extremely important program needed for high priority work productivity (i.e. WoW). Thanks in advance for any advice! You will be my new best friend if you help me resolve this. =D

Hi Hollie, and welcome to the forums!
Have you created images before successfully?
Is this to/on your boot drive, or an external drive?
Have you done any Disk/OS maintenance lately?
We might see if there are some big temp files left or such...
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is now free, and likely the best/easiest...

Change position images in slideshow

Hello,
I am trying to change the position of the images in my slideshow, but I don't know how I can do this.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance!

You can resize and reposition both the Hero Image container and the Image inside that (by double-clicking the Hero Image).
Although your Hero Image size/position is fixed for all the images in slideshow, you can definitely move/resize the actual images inside individually. See if that helps you get it to work for you in the Slideshow itself.
Else you can always for go the Composition Widget which allows you to place individual target slides in different positions and have different sizes.
Cheers,
Vikas

Get Map As XML/Server Image returns blank image on server and errors out on local

In Server, map.getMapAsXML and map.getMapAsServerImage both return blank images though they return a valid url
In local, executing map.getMapAsXML reports the following error:

You may be using Windows with limited functionality as the previous version expired. Did you re-format the drive/partition before you did the "fresh" install if not Windows probably kept the old install information so knew that it was expired previously. Either activate Windows (try typing slui.exe and filling in the product key and activate - then restart the machine) or re-format the drive/partition that Windows is on and re-install Windows again.

Hi all, when I open a New Tab pg all the images are blank - I've tried clicking on the blank images, & dragging a link from the Bookmarks, without success!

I want to achieve at least one of two things: either set New Tabs to open with Google automatically; or at least, to have Google pinned to the New Tab page. (Google is my home page.) When a new page opens, all the images are blank. I've read through the Help pages & tried various things. I've tried dragging Google from the Bookmarks to the New Tab, but this only opens Google. I've tried clicking on the blank images, but nothing happens. I've toggled the blank images off for now, so at least I don't need to look at them. I am doing a university course online, so efficiency is really important to me! Those extra clicks really add up & distract!... Thanks in advance :)

How do I import images in slideshow with the caption?

I imported images in slideshow. but I have to write down in each field the caption of the image. is it possible to import the caption as well?
thanks for response

Hi
I am afraid, its not possible to import "Captions" within Adobe Muse. You need to manually type in caption for each individual image.

How to replace images in slideshow?

I would like to replace images in slideshow, but I can see only ADD option.

Thanks Parikshit.
Looks the trick would be to turn on Thumbnails, delete the image and turn it off.

Soft images in Slideshow

When I go to view my images in View>Slideshow they are very soft almost blurred. The thumbnails are fine as are the preview images in Bridge.
If I left click on the image in slideshow and zoom on the image it becomes sharp, when I right click to zoom back to full image it becomes blurred again.
This is very annoying as I have used the manual slideshow in CS3 to quickly assess and rate my images with no problems.
What am I doing wrong? Please help

Most of the problems in slide show are realated to the video card or driver. Make sure you have the latest driver installed.
If this does not work in advanced preferences click "use software rendering" and see it that solves problem.

Blank slides in slideshow

I am using photoshop elements 5 to make a slide show. After previewing it there were many RANDOM slides where the picture was no longer there, just a COMPLETELY BLACK SLIDE. How do I recover these? I spent a lot of time doing this and someone needs it asap. I cannot possibly remember which pictures were in all of the spots. please help....thanks!

When you save the slideshow, you are saving the current timeline edits, the images are not saved into the slideshow (just like they are not saved into the Organizer). Your slideshow is not made permanent until it has been exported as a video file or PDF.
The slideshow is part of the Organizer catalog (the database that keeps track of your files). You can sent your catalog from one version of Elements to another (as long as that other version is newer that where it is coming from). In the new version, go to File > Catalog and click the Convert button. You will be given a list of catalogs (if more than one is available). Select the one you want and convert it. This will bring the database (which includes your images and slideshows) into the new version.

Poor quality images on Slideshow

Hello all,
I recently downloaded Aperture from the Mac App store - seemed to good a bargain not to and I was already considering upgrading from iPhoto 08.
I imported all my pictures (along with the captions) into Aperture and created a slideshow from an album. I was quite disappointed to see that the image quality was really poor and very grainy. The photos themselves were fine in the album - but not so in the slideshow.
I thought this may have been down to importing from iPhoto, so I experimented by adding other images directly into Aperture. The same slideshow quality issue arose. I also possess a MacBook Pro and decided to re-perform the steps described above. The images and slideshow are absolutely fine on my MacBook pro.
I wish to maintain my photo library on my main iMac and will be very downhearted if Aperture cannot give me the same picture quality on slideshows that I achieved in iPhoto. Can anyone help me figure out why I'm suffering from poor quality images in slideshows on my iMac?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Hi Simon,
Aperture uses the image Preview in Slideshows:
_About Displaying Sharp Images in Slideshows_
To display slideshows at the best quality, you should set Aperture to create high-resolution previews. In addition to setting previews to their highest resolution, you should also use full-size previews to prevent upscaling with large displays. If previews are not available, images in the slideshow may not be as sharp as they would be otherwise. For more information about creating high-resolution previews, see Working with Preview Images.
From the [User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=21%26se ction=2]
What size Previews do you have?

Hi,
i want an slideshow/gallery for my site,

it's the first thing you see when you get there.
I've looked around and can't find a tutorial for it anywhere,
Does anyone know how this is made
or can give me a link to a tutorial?
Thanx

MSN is probably using something proprietary. Below you'll find some free slideshow and image gallery solutions that might work for you.

LR4 export creates random blank images

Hi I'm experiencing a strange situation where I export a selection of photos, perhaps 150 of them, and will see random blank images with valid photo metadata but a blank (white) image. In this case 3 of 150 photos are "real" but export as blank. I can export the exact same selection of images using a slightly different export setting and the images are present (a different watermark PNG). What is wrong with LR 4 export ?

Hi
Please check the following :
--Export to .PDF and check if you are getting a correct page format. If you are getting then check word page header and page footer settings.
--Also check the default printer and page setup.
--Use no printer option in CR page setup and try to export to word. Also check RTF format.
--Also try to check this is happening only in your system and any other system.
Thanks,
Sastry

Blank images with iPhoto 6 on OS 10.3.9 on iMac G4

Have installed iPhoto 6 on iMac G4 with OS 10.3.9. The iPhoto Library is (only) on an external (Maxtor) hard drive attached via firewire. Photos are imported automatically into this file. After iPhoto 6 installation, the image files from iPhoto Library are blank with a dotted square in each; the file name is under each blank image. I have been unable to obtain the visual images to these files (about 9000). Another MacBook laptop is able to access the files and the images in iPhoto 6. I have checked all the obvious preferences and would appreciate your help.
Thanks, Roger

Must be in the air. The same happened to all my 7506 images in my library. They went blank, that is. And that's on my Mac Mini CD (Intel) with Tiger 10.4.7. I thought it might be a bug in the new 10.4.7 update, but it can be the same problem and not be related to the OS version. I too have my iPhoto Lib on an external hard drive. (iOmega MiniMax 250).
