Blank "images"

I am not sure if this is an iPhoto or iMovie/iDVD/Motion issue, so...I posted here and iPhoto, sorry about the double post....
I have a freind who is having this problem. In her iMovie when she clicks on her Photos tab a number of images do not show up. The Title is there, there is a space for them but no images. She clicks on the space and it doesn't show up in Ken Burns it doesn't give her the option to move the "blank" space to do anything with it,
Her library is about 10000 images and have I hit some limit that iMovie can't address?
This also happens in iDVD, and Motion as well.
We have rebuilt the library, verified and repaired permissions as well...still no images.....??
her machine is a DP 2.0 G5 with 4.5 gigs of RAM
Mac OS 10.4.2
iMovie 5.0.2
iPhoto 5.0.4
thanks in advanced!

Hi Steven,
I got the screenshots and see what you mean.
First do a "get info" on the iPhoto Library and make sure the permissions are Read/write for your username.
Click the button all the way at the bottom to "apply to enclosed items"
Open Disk Utility and repair permissions for good luck.
Rebuild the library following instructions listed next and check out the apple link to make sure you covered all bases.
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.
iPhoto 4 or later: Rebuilding the iPhoto Library

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Random Blank Image Field

    We are using a c# DataSet with a byte[] field to store a .tiff (one .tiff per each record).  We bind this DataSet to a Crystal Report that has this image field for (most of) the report. 
    When we load more that 5 records, we randomly have blank images displayed in the viewer (and printed with blank images). Oddly, when we hit the viewer refresh we get different pages that are blank.
    When we export to .pdf, all images are present in the pdf.
    We have converted the .tiff  to JPEG, and stored these JPEG images into the DataSet byte[] and get similar behavior; that is, we get random blank pages.
      Any ideas will be appreciated.
    thanks,

  • Would you mind to implement that when websites attempts to access image data on a canvas, blank image data can be returned?

    Issue: privacy (protection)
    Additional to cookies and so on, canvas imagedata is used to discover information about computers. Then Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) - Firefox ESR 24.7.0 automatically returns blank image data and shows option to switch it of and else.
    Would be nice to have this in Standard Firefox.
    Contained in TBB 3.6.3 en-us for Windows from torproject.org

  • Get image invoke method gives blank image when I try to capture waveform graph picture

    Hello
    I am facing problem when try to capture waveform graph picture using invoke method Get image and write JPEG function, some times it gives blank images.I am using these functions inside nested loops.
    ObservationsWith reference to attached VI)
    (1) Sometimes  I found it captures images correctly when i run labview program first time but after that it starts writing blank images.
    (2) Whenever i use flat sequence structure for waveform graph and get image node it always gives blank picture which indicates that execution of waveform graph and Get image should not be sequential.
    (3) Whenever it gives blank image i checked the image data which is not valid data so it indicates problem is with Get image method or labview program flow(may be race condition between waveform graph and Get image method).
           I have attached vi ,please change path name and folder name in which images are being saved.I'm using labview 8.5.1 .

    Hi,
    I have tried sequence structure.But sometimes it also gives blank images. I have attached new vi which is using flat sequence. Run this vi 7-8 times then you will observe blank images. I don't know why?Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Kellbone
    this just means that you left your menu in your project, but you didnt delete it.
    seems that you just made yoru first play the movie.
    if you delete your menu, then you will not get that error.
    all this error means is that you did not define either buttons or a sub-picture!
    i get this error all the time with my static FBI warnings that i put in menu space, not on a VTS.
    this is NOT a fatal error, so dont worry about it. it's more like a "HEY silly, you forgot to make buttons or put a sub-picture here!".

  • Blank image between photo transitions

    I am using the overlap type of transition between photos and for some reason I am getting a sudden blank image prior to each of the transition effects. I have done this before without any problems, I do not know why I have this problem now. Each photo duration is 10 seconds and the transition is 2 seconds. I have varied the duration of both the photo and the transition (up and down), but it has not helped. I will appreciate any help. I am using a MacBook with OS 10.4.8 and iMovie 6.0.3(267.2)

    Please bear with me, remedina. Can I guess at a solution? I've never personally seen this problem, but it's been reported here from time to time. I don't think the cause has been found, nor a good solution.
    (To find other topics about it, search this forum for "Transition and black and frame", without the quotes. Ignore topics discussing black frames in the preview when importing images. Different problem.)
    For the record, is the "blank" frame black or white?
    My guess is iMovie is getting the math wrong while building the transition. Perhaps it's building a transition clip that is 99 frames long but it thinks it's 100 frames long. The result: a blank frame. Or it plays the clip AFTER/BEFORE the transition incorrectly, playing a frame that is "empty".
    Either way, playback is "missing" one frame. Either the transition itself is flawed or the playback of the clip that follows/precedes it is flawed.
    (Remember, iMovie modifies the playback of the original clip(s) too when you add the transition, at least for some transitions. If the new description of those clips is wrong, playback of those clips will be flawed.)
    To help iMovie get the math right while building the transition, I'd try removing one frame from the clip that FOLLOWS the planned transition. THEN add the transition.
    If that doesn't work, try removing one frame from the PRECEDING clip before adding the transition.
    I don't recall anyone reporting exactly where the flawed frame resides. Is the flawed frame in the transition clip? If so, is it the last frame of the transition? Or is it the first frame of the clip that follows the transition? Or the last frame of the clip that precedes the transition? Somewhere else?
    You should be able to tell by selecting the transition clip and using the right/left arrowkeys to play through the transition. If you see a flawed frame it's in the transition clip. If, on the other hand, you DON'T see a flawed frame but see it only when you select and play the clip following it, then the transition is okay but the error is in playing the following clip. Same with the preceding clip.
    Either way, deleting one frame from the clip AFTER the planned transition or BEFORE it may solve the problem. It changes the math. It changes any rounding calculation, for example. No promises, but it's worth a try.
    One other idea: the math error may be affected by whether or not the Ken Burns checkbox was on when you imported the image. iMovie describes the imported photo two different ways, depending on whether or not the checkbox was on. If you strike out above, you might try re-importing the image(s) using the opposite checkbox setting.
    Please let us know what you discover. Good luck.

  • Why does iphoto show blank image placeholders

    I sit my new iPhone4S on the dock i used for iPhone4, and iphoto only shows blank image placeholders, not photos i've taken on the phone. What do i need to do to fix this? It correctly syncs iPhoto pics from my iMac to the phone, but not from the iPhone . Any Help?
    Thanks, John

    Found the answer in this forum. I powered down the iMac and Powered down the iPHone, and then restarted both. and all is well. Hey, that's the advice i give to all my Windows friends - and it worked this time.

  • Missing / blank images in galleries - PLEASE  HELP

    Someone else asked this earlier this year, with no real satisfactory answer.
    Consistently, when I create galleries in Aperture, about 10 percent of the images end up as blank thumbnails and larger images. This is maddening and unusable. (I'm sending galleries to magazines, and I have to always send a second gallery of the dropped / missing images). I've tried adjusting the thumbnail and image sizes to different parameters (no improvement). I've tried re-processing the gallery multiple times (it just ends up with different images missing). I've tried leaving my computer completely untouched while it's creating the gallery (no improvement).
    Is this happening to anyone else? I can't be the only one suffering from this. When I view the galleries within Aperture, it's all there. Only once I view the exported gallery in a browser are images gone. (I've tried viewing in different browsers.)
    Any suggestions? I pray that this is fixed in the next version of Aperture, if not before.
    thank you

    I have found that there are so much to be worked out with this aperture software.
    I am sticking with Adobe Lightroom and my Nikon NX software. They are both so much easier to use and considerably less time consuming.
    I'm, sorry I wasted the money on Aperture.
    If I am speding more time & effort on the sodtware than with my camera shooting, something is clearly not right.

  • RE:photos imported from iPhoto show up as white blank images in iMovie6.0.3

    This is the first time this has happen to me. I did a project last summer and had no problems importing photos from iPhoto. When I used a theme and put my photos in the theme, I can see the preview all right, but when I apply the theme or effect, when iMovie 6.0.3 is done rendering, the imge shows up as a blank white image. I tried importing other photod, including the ones I used in my last project, with the smae results. Now I know the photos are the right file format because I use some of them in a previous project. I need help. I have to finished this project by Thursday night, 10-25-2007!
    I doing this on my PowerPC G4and I get a message from iMovie when I launch it that "iMovie requires a Quartz Extreme Compatible graphics card.

    Please help!!! What do I do?!

    If TD's suggestion is unsuccessful open the library folder and drag the Originals folder to the Desktop.
    Then drag the subfolders in the Originals folder, a few at a time<  into your open iPhoto window.  That will import the original files into Events with the same names as the subfolders have.
