Blank photo on CD-R and lost edit mode - thumbnails only

I tried to save photos on a CD-R and got blank picture frames on the CD in the correct amount and landscape/portrait format along with correct data in the description. The photos transferred remain in the library as thumbnails only and cannot go to edit or slide show mode, nor can they be exported. How can I restore edit mode and how can I burn a CD-R?

If you know any of the file names and can't find them anywhere on the HD via a the Finder search then they've probably been deleted from the HD. If you've got backups of them on some other media, you can copy them back in.
You didn't move those photos to some other location within the iPhoto Library folder via the finder did you? On the chance that they are somewhere in that folder you could try the following:
1 - make a duplicate copy of your iPhoto Library folder (select it and type Command-D)
2 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options including the one regarding orphaned files.
If that finds those missing files and gets them back into your library (although they will probably be lumped into one recovery roll and album) you can then get rid of the original library folder. Just make sure all are accounted for in the new library. Good luck.

IPhoto 7.1.3: Can view and enlarge photos but cannot see them in edit mode

When selecting and attempting to edit photos, the photo does not appear in the "edit" window below the thumbnails. This "edit" window remains blank. Edit functions appear operable but I cannot see what is happening to the photo until the edit has been made and shows up in the thumbnails. Anyone have a similar issue or suggestion?
Thanks.

The procedure for creating and populating 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.
If the problem is persisting into a new library - how big is your HD and how much free space on it?

Upgraded to Photo on MacBook Pro and lost all of the EVENTS I had in prior version

Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library How do I get them back?

Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library How do I get them back?
There are no events at all in Photos. The Library is no longer partitioned into events, it is split into Moments, and the Moments are created automatically based on the date and the location, if a locations available. You have no control at all over the partitioning of the library - Photos is doing that for you.
The folder "iPhoto Events" does not contain events, it has new albums. For each of the previous events an album has been created. But these are really albums and will not behave like events at all. And if you import new photos, they will show in the "Last Import" album, but no album will be created for this new import.
Any structuring you want to do in your library will have to be based on albums or smart albums. Use keywords to tag your photos, so you can create smart albums.

IPhoto corrupts the view of my Nikon D800 photos when zooming or switching to edit mode

I am viewing RAW files from a Nikon D800. Initially the files show correctly but after a while the views starts corrupting when I zoom in and sometimes when I enter the edit mode. The files themselves are ok, it is just the preview that corrupts.
Once this has happened the only way to restore normality is to reboot the iMac. Closing and reopening iPhoto does not fix it.
I am using iPhoto 9.5.1 on OSX 10.9.4 (iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2010).
I have a Nikon D7000 as well and editing these photos I have no problems. Perhaps it is the larger file size...?
Example of the corruption attached.

That could be an issue with the graphics card.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?
If it is, switch to another user account and repeat the test there.

Shot photos in camera raw and after editing and saving as jpeg photo becomes extremely grainy

I click open in photoshop and choose my raw image from folder. I edit colors, clarity tones sharpness etc from the pop-up.Then click open image. It opens in photoshop. Photo looks great with no graininess. I save opened file as jpeg. I open jpeg file in a picture viewer program and it is extremely grainy. Help?

What JPG quality settings? What JPG colour format? Will another picture viewer show better? Are the display options in the picture viewer which might make it worse?

When I send a PDF attachment by email the recipient sees only a blank unfilled form. This has only occurred since IOS 7 was updated. The email with the PDF when recieved by my MAC is OK, but my phone and iPad are not!
Any advise would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. Sought to insert a pdf into Apple Mail after editing a form pdf and only the blank form shows. I didn't use Preview to generate the form, just Acrobat. And, the filled in form inserts perfectly into an email when I use Outlook for Mac. Problem only with Apple Mail.

Editing iPhoto photos in Photoshop CS4 and saving a copy

I'm relatively new to Mac and am trying to figure out my workflow. I like a lot of the features of iPhoto, but I'm struggling with something critical.
Typically, when I edit a jpeg in photoshop, i like to save the modified version as a copy either with a -01 suffix or I create another folder in the file's original folder named 'Revised' or something like that and save the copies in there. I don't see how I can get the iPhoto event to update to include the added file. It seems clear that it definitely won't add the folder.
I've noticed that Lightroom does the same thing. Once a folder is imported, it doesn't seem to go back and check to see if changes were made in an external program.
Perhaps it's possible to force an update, but that doesn't really solve it either, unless I'm willing to go in and update the folder/event after every edit I make is PS.
Anyone know if I'm missing something or have a recommendation on how to work more effectively?
Thanks!

If you're not editing RAW file then the following may be of some help to you:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

Photos Forgot Their Crop and Edits in iOS 8

I have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1 with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled and "Download and Keep Originals" selected. And as expected, I have all my photos from my previous iPhone on the new phone.
But I noticed that all my old photos "forgot" the crops and other edits that I did. I have hundreds of photos that I carefully cropped and edited over the years and this is very annoying. The interesting thing is that when I look at the thumbnail of the photo, it still shows my old crops and edits, but when I tap it to open it, it shows the entire uncropped, unedited photo. It seems that my crop and editing info is still there somewhere, but it doesn't show when I open the photo.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? Am I missing something?

Hi sueb21,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
Have a great day,
Joe

I imported events from iphoto into aperture and aperture is showing 2 photos for each picture, one original and one edited although none of the photos from iphoto had been edited. Any idea why this has happened and what I need to do to prevent this.

I imported several events for iPhoto into Aperture3 and in Aperture it shows two photos for each photo imported, one original and one edited although none of the photos imported were edited. Why has this happened and what do I need to do to prevent this in future. I have only recently got Aperture and am trying to learn as I go along using the Focal Press guide. Thanks for any help.

A photo that was rotated in iPhoto will also show up as iPhoto edited.
This is not what I found to be the case in a recent experiment using iPhoto11- I did repeat it to be sure.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15586837#15586837
Quickly, what I found is that only the ones I did actual adjustments on brought over two images. Images that were simply rotated, had "quick fixes" or "Effects" did not bring in two images. More importantly, among the ones with adjustments that did bring in two images, the ones with the keyword "iPhoto Edited" appear to be nothing more than iPhoto's 6MB JPEG Previews. The master was a 25MB RAW image.
I don't know why some users are experiencing doubles on everything, but I recommend caution in deciding which ones to remove or you may find yourself deleting masters and keeping previews.

Can't open photos in edit mode

I can;t open photos in edit mode in iPhoto '08. When I double click on a photo the main window remains blank (no "!" no"?"). This problem occurs with every photo in the library. My permissions are OK. I've also tried setting the preferences to edit in Photoshop but double clicking on the photos then still accomplishes nothing.

Steve:
Do you get a blank white window in the edit mode? If so that may mean you do not have access to the files. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

How to get Iphoto out of slideshow view and into edit, by default

Iphoto recently began showing all my albums in slideshow view rather than its customary edit view. I can switch to edit by clicking on the edit icon or just clicking a photo but I want to view and work in edit mode. It just won't show me any albums/folders in edit mode. I posted this once but it has vanished. Any help out there?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into iPhoto's Preferences and under the Events section set the Double-click Event: menu to Magnify. See if that's what you want.
The edit mode is only entered when you double click on a photo's thumbnail.

How can I pull photos from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them?

If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
