Can see thumbs but can't edit or see in slideshow

On a brand new PowerBook (17", 1 gig RAM, 50 gigs free space), imported 20 pics from a camera (Nikon). So my total library is 20 pics. I can delete photos fine and can see the thumbs, but if I try to edit them I get the spinning black and white wheel. If I try to edit a pic in the external iPhoto editor it just shows black. If I try to do a slideshow, all pics show as black, even if I move forwards/backwards within the slideshow. If I move the bottom-right slider to change the size I can only get about 1/2 way before it just won't show the thumbnail anymore.
I have repaired permissions, I have recreated the library on iPhoto startup to no avail. I have all the latest updates. I am not running FileVault. I have verfied my permissions on the iPhoto folder.
Thanks for any help,
Jeff

I moved the pictures out of their different iPhoto folders into one folder and tried to import them but they are evidently corrupt.
Not necessarily.
If you dragged them out of an iPhoto Library Folder they may still be tagged as already being in an iPhoto Library.
Very unlikely that iPhoto is corrupting camera imports. Never heard of this happening. Tampering with the iPhoto Library Folder is usually the problem.

  • Brand new mac pro has blank screen on start up...why? Can here instructions but can't see

    I hae a brand new mac pro and the screen is blank during start up. ***...I can here instructions but can't see screen.

    That Mac comes with 90 days free phone support from trained Applecare reps. You should take advantage of it.
    Another alternative is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them put their hands on it.
    Be sure you do something before your 14-day return/exchange (if you bought it direct from Apple) expires, or you may face a 3 to 5 day repair cycle.
    Shine a bright light at the screen when it has booted up.
    ¿ Is the picture "there" but not lit up?   that could be a backlight failure.
    The F2 key is used to turn up the brightness, if it accidentally got turned down low.

  • My ipad can send email but I cannot receive or see incoming mail

    My iPad air is was updated yesterday with iOS 8.2.  Now I can send emails but I cannot receive or see any mail in my inbox.  My iPhone 5S works correctly but has not been updated with 8.2.

    Hi, Grandpaintraining.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • I updated my first generation iPad to version 5.1.1 and won't go past the setup screen that asks if I want to use the iPad locator. I can go back but can't get any further.

    I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago.  But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes.  So it wiped out everything on my iPad.  But it did work.  Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine.  Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens. 

  • Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

    Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
    Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
    Thanks

    It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
    I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
    And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
    I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
    Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.

  • Can access Yahoo, but can't open Yahoo Mail in Firefox. Can on Internet explorer.

    Can access Yahoo, but Can't open Yahoo Mail in Firefox. Can open Yahoo Mail on Internet Explorer. Checked Password.

    PROBLEM: This is the error I get when I simply try to open an email in Firefox. File not found Firefox can't find the file at http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/blank.html?bn=555&.intl=us&.lang=en-US. * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors. * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
    POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
    I contacted Yahoo and they had me clear (1) cookies and (2) cache. This did work so that I can now open the emails in Firefox.
    COMMENTS:
    Yahoo support said "Please rest assured that Yahoo! Mail is properly working as of this time. It would be best if you contact Mozilla Firefox help support. They have the right tools and knowledge with the settings to access Internet Sites like Yahoo! Mail on Mozilla Firefox browser."
    I'd like to know what to do to prevent this in the future because I've had this issue twice now in the last few weeks.

  • Can receive emails but can't send any

    Can receive messages but can't send any. What setting am I missing?

    I had this same problem with my zoho mail account.  It started when I changed my email password on the computer....Long story short I have been going crazy for a few days. I could receive mail, but couldn't send anything from that account! (Fortunately I have two other accounts which are a different server - gmail.) I turned my iPad2 off then on again...I did a sync with iTunes...I deleted the account and then added it back...Still it would not send..Just receive!
    I did finally get it fixed, but it took about an hour poking around and looking for help here.
    There were several problems:
    1. Somehow the server port numbers were incorrect. So when I added the account back in, I found that the "incoming server port" was not correct and fixed it. But I didn't see how to check the "outgoing server port." - somehow in the setting up process, that just wasn't exposed.
    2. Eventually I found the "outgoing server port" here:  - Go to Settings - General - Mail - Account. Then tap on the Account you need to fix. Check the information there to be sure it is correct.
    THEN: tap on the white bar just below the word "Outgoing mail Server"
    That takes you to "SMTP"
    You will see a primary server, and "other SMTP servers"
    Somehow I had 3 there that were the same account server name (zoho) ..all with the wrong port number!
    But even after fixing each one, I still couldn't send mail. This led to problem number 3:
    3. Apparently having 3 of the same account was a problem. After I deleted all three of the accounts, then tapped on "Add Server" and entered the information back in again. Bingo, I could send mail!!
    I don't know why, but now my "Primary Server" says "Not configured - off"
    And all the "Other" servers say "off" as well.
    But it's working so I am going to leave it as it is.
    I hope some of this is helpful.

  • I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad. It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it. I can send emails, but can't get them

    Any ideas, people?

    Hi Kharels
    Just posted this reply to 2 others with same sort of question:
    I have the same issue as i have my own email address and only want to use.
    There are two ways around this annoying problem. The first is to set up your own domain email account alongside your iCloud one, and when you go to send each email tap on From and you get a choice of emails addresses to reply from... ie your own domain or the iCloud one.  This is tedious though.
    The other is to set up your iCloud email as normal, then create a new one altogether. Choose 'Other' when creating this new account. Then put for the incoming server mail.me.com, along with your user name and password. For the outgoing server put the server you want to use - ie your own domain one. This is therefore a hybrid account and does work.
    Now switch off the email for iCloud (leaving on Calendar, Address Book etc). Switch on the email for your hybrid account (which of course is iCloud incoming as well).
    Providing you have directed your own domain email address to your me.com one, you will find the iPhone should behave itself and you can use the folders etc and these will synch with your Mac ok.
    Hope this work for you - let us know.
