Cannot view image info in iPhoto '11

Pressing the info button once highligts it, and pressing it twice opens the panel with linen background but it's empty. iPhoto also slows down or seems to hang after doing this. Otherwise, iPhoto seems to work properly.
Repairing iPhoto permissions and repairing the iPhoto database do not seem to alleviate the problem.
Is there any file containing chached image info that I can prompt rebuilding of by removing it?

A

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Cannot view images in emails on Safari or Firefox

I cannot view images in emails on multiple accounts from different sites (Gmail, AOL Mail, Hotmail) on Safari and Firefox on my Macbook. When I click "Show Content" on the emails to unblock the spam protection, either all of the images don't show up and instead I get the "?" boxes or only some of the images show up. Can anyone help me out? I have an important email I need to print out but need to see all the images before doing so (plus, it's just plain annoying). Thanks.

I have the same problem. Since a while I can no longer view images in html emails even though it was set to do so in the prefs. I am considering ditching the plist file but am concerned that I will lose more valuable info (like account passwords and such). What does the pref file (plist) hold?

Why doesn't the "View image info" show how many frames are in animated gifs?

When I right click on an image, then click "View Image Info" it used to show how many frames were included in an animated gif. This stopped working in Firefox 4. Why is that?

I'm not too sure what I did but it works now.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

Help! Please! I cannot view images on any website or button as in submit, delete, previous, next...

I cannot view images on any website, or buttons only text. I can view youtube videos but none of the video thumbnails on the sidebar. I have never had this problem and have searched the forums for an answer.

Hi F. Carl
The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
The issue is:
I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

I cannot view video clips in iphoto. quicktime used to open automatically but no longer

I cannot view video clips I created and syncd from my iphone into iphoto. Quicktime used to open automatically. Now it wont for some reason.

If you have iPhoto 8 and Lion then download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later. That should let you view clips in the iPhoto library.

Help! I cannot view images in Lightroom 4.1

Hello all,
I hope someone can help I need the answer asap so it would be very much appreciated. I am trying to use Lightroom and whilst it imports images successfully, I cannot view them at all. I do not have the '?' so this isn't a problem but I don't know what else it can be. I am using 4.1 but currently downloading 4.2 (very painful, almost impossible in Indonesia), but I would imagine this shouldn't be an issue either.
Any ideas? I am stuck!
Many thanks,
J

If that's also the same if you go into the Develop module, then it's probably a corrupt monitor profile. Try setting the profile to sRGB as a test (not a cure, the cure is to fix the monitor profile).....see these instructions:

Cannot view images using Preview

Happy New Year to all,
I cannot view .jpg files in Preview. I have .jpg files in various folders. If I:
a) Double click the .jpg file in Finder the Preview icon arrives in dock but no image is displayed.
or
b) Right click the .jpg file in Finder and select open with Preview the same as above happens.
If I then right click the Preview icon in dock I can see the image file name with a 'tick' mark next to it but no image is displayed.
The Preview help section in Apple is no help whatsoever. Any ideas ?
I am fairly new to the Mac so do not know if I have had this problem from day one, never tried before.
Thanks

Cannot view images on emails

Sometimes I get emails with images where I could view them ok without a problem. Recently I noticed that I see only a box with a question mark where an image should appear. I turned OFF and ON the "view images" under Mail settings to see if that would help but it didnt. I also repaired permissions on my hard drive but no cigar. I haven't installed anything in a long time so it can't be another software. The only thing I can remember doing is adding another email account to Mail but that was it. It was from a different provider. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Cannot view images in emails

8830 phone from Alltel. When I read an email message that contains an image, all I see is the text of the link to the image and not the image itself. Is there a setting I can change that will let me view images in emails?
Thanks,
Peter

This depends on two factors. One your device OS need to be 4.5 of higher and second your carrier need to have BIS 2.5 (which can be considered done by now). If you don't have OS 4.5 of higher then consider upgrading your device OS version.

Since I downloaded snow leopard I cannot view my movies in iphoto. Is anyone else having this problem?

Since I downloaded snow leopard, I cant view my movies in Iphoto.There is absolutely no response. (it does not default to anything else). Is anyone else having this problem? Suggestions please. My Iphoto says 7.1.5

i am sorry - i did do all of that. But I am hitting a brick wall. The closing comment after I did so said install complete and followed up by saying :
You may have installed Mac OS X software that is older than your current version of Mac OS X, and may not work properly. To ensure the best experience please download and install the latest version of the Mac OS X Combo update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/ . You should do this even if you currently have the latest Mac OS X update installed.
BUT when I check to see what version of QT I have it says 10 (not 7) even though I clicked on 7. I think I need to uninstall everything and start again. Sadly, i dont even know how to do that!

I cannot view images in iphoto - only black screen

I had problems being unable to boot my iMac this week and ended up having to take it to the Apple store where they re-installed the operating system and all seemed fine. Now however, although I can view thumbnails in iPhoto, when I click on them I just get a black screen.
I've checked the images do still exist in the file folders and I had a slideshow running as a screensaver - this still shows the images but I cannot access them through iPhoto.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

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?

After upgrading to OS X Snow Leopard, I cannot view my pics in iPhoto

I upgraded my iMac with OS X Snow Leopard early last year (2010). Ever since the upgrade, a lot of my pics in iPhoto cannot be seen, but I still get a dotted border of where the pics are when viewing. All I get is a gray image with a triangle & exclamation mark in the middle of the triangle. I can see thumbnails of the pics, but when I click on the selected image, it comes up as a blank. Make sense? Can someone help me please?
Thanks
