Cropping from Landscape to Portrait

I have some fun new photos I just took and have been editing in iPhoto '08, but I'm having trouble using the "constrained crop" feature. In the landscape aspect, I want to constrain it to portrait proportions equivalent to the landscape, but its just not letting me. Any help?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First select all of the photos and use the Photos->Revert to Originals menu option. Then try again. If that doesn't help rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
* Enable AssistiveTouch
Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

Why are my apps changing when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait

Recently, on my ipad mini retina, when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait, the apps change. For example, when i enter a game like impossible and change to landscape to play it and then exit the screen has shifted to either the right or left and shows the first line of the next pages apps. Its kind of like when im in the middle of changing from one page to another but it only changes back to normal when i tough the screen. Im not sure if this has anything to do with the new 7.1 ios but it is becoming really annoying

I know it is not a specific app problem because it happens when i come out of some of my apps, it doesnt happen all of the time, only sometimes. Also if any of you could help me with another issue with the same device, when i connect to wifi/hotspot i get static on the screen, it is very noticable when i show a dark picture or a large amount of the screen is a dark colour but i wanted to know if this was normal with the ipad mini retina. I have seen discussions about this device having problems connecting to wifi but i havent found any discussions on this. Does anyone know could cause this?

How can I change video screen from landscape to portrait. It is set to landscape since I updated to IOS 6. TY

Is the screen-rotation lock on? If it is then there is a padlock shown in the upper right by the battery icon. To turn off double click the Home button and fully swipe the bottom row fully right past the music controls and tap the padlock.
Otherwise
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Orientation while cropping photos (landscape and portrait).

When cropping a photo, how can I change the orientation of the crop box? In other words, if I have a photo that is oriented like a landscape (say 4" tall and 6" wide) and I want to crop toa smaller 4x6, but in a portrait orientation, how can I do this? iPhoto seems to want to keep the crop box oriented the same way as the existing photo. I hope I'm making myself clear.
I have searched the forum for this and unable to answer my question. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Don't worry, you're not the only one. How would you know that you had to go back to the constrain menu and choose portrait. It's not there until you choose a constrain ratio. It's easy to miss.

Problem with rotating view on iPhone 5--when I go from landscape to portrait view Safari jumps around.

Every time I rotate my phone from portrait to landscape and back again the view has jumped up about 3 screens--say for instance I'm reading a message board, and I rotate to landscape to view a picture, when I rotate back I'm looking at comments way higher up than I had been before the rotation--which is really frustrating and wastes a lot of time trying to figure out where I was. It always jumps up, never down.
This happens on many different websites (and even if I'm reading a story in Reader), so it's not a bug on that end. The rotation feature worked fine on my iPhone 4, so why is it a problem now? I've downloaded all updates and synced my phone with my macbook retina several times and it doesn't make any difference.

Hello? Anybody out there? Plenty of people are looking at this question, anybody have an idea what's going on with my phone? Or any suggestions for how I should go about bugging Apple to figure out how to fix it?

How do I change print orientation from landscape to portrait in OS X 10.10.3 with a Epson Workforce printer?

I tried changing the value in print.print.orientation from zero to one; and then from one to zero -- restarting each time. Neither works. I cannot explain how this problem occurred since I had been printing in portrait. When I fo to print in FF the print dialogue box shows a horizontal page with a number one in it. I cannot change this. There is no landscape/portrait choice area to select. I can print in portrait in Word.

Thanks for your reply. The "details" choices that appear are: Options, Appearance, Frames, Page Headers, Page Footers. Next to Options are 2 choices: Print Selection Only which is grayed out and cannot be selected & Ignore Scaling...etc. which can be selected. No where do I see a portrait/landscape orientation choice. Should I reinstall FF?

How do you change the message page from landscape to portrait

Hi, My message page is stuck in landscape, how do I change it back to portrait. Thanks

Try double clicking the Home button to bring up the Multitasking toolbar. Press and hold an app and hit the little red circle with the minus sign to close out the Messages app.
Open it up and you should be good.

Landscape and portrait mode

My iPad is slow between rotating from landscape o portrait mode at the home screen. In apps though it is very fast. Anybody know why? It hasn't always been like this

Hi,
Try restarting your iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
See if that made a difference.
If not, you may have an app that needs "force quitting" ...
Try this... Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the application quits.
Try again. If it's still slow, connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes. Check available storage at the bottom of the iTunes window. Might be a good idea to have at least 10% free space available.

Navigation based on screen orientation (landscape or portrait) in Flash CS6

I'm creating an app that will have a different menu if the phone is held landscape, or portrait.
I figure I have to tell flash to move to a new frame when the phone moves from landscape to portrait or vice versa, but I'm not sure the exact code to after creating the orientation event listener.

your orientation listener should call a function that executes a gotoAndStop.
the stage has an Stage.OrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE event you can use:
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE,changeF);
function changeF(e:StageOrientationEvent):void{
trace(e.afterOrientation.toString());

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this?

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro. Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this? I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS. It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

These are the two steps that Larry describes:

Script for cropping only landscape or only portrait pages

I need to apply different crop settings to the landscape and portrait pages in a document. The document runs into about a thousand pages so any kind of manual solution isn't viable.
I know that Acrobat only allows the crop tool to be selectively applied to odd and even pages, and not portrait and landscape pages.
I understand that a script can achieve what I am trying to do. Unfortunately, scripting is out of my area of expertise.
I will be very grateful if someone who knows how can give me a hand.
Thanks!
Jay

Here's a basic script that should do it:
var i, aRect1, nWidth, nHeight;
// Loop through all pages
for (var i = 0; i < numPages; i += 1) {
    rect1 = getPageBox("Crop", i); // Get the current page rect
    nWidth = rect1[2] - rect1[0]; // Calculate the page width
    nHeight = rect1[1] - rect1[3]; // Calculate the page height
    if (nHeight >= nWidth) { // Portrait/square pages
        rect1[0] += + 2.5 * 72; // Left 2.5"
    } else { // Landscape pages
        rect1[0] += 3.5 * 72; // Left 3.5 "
        rect1[1] -= 1.0 * 72; // Top 1.0 "
        rect1[2] -= 3.5 * 72 // Right 3.5;
        rect1[3] += 0.5 * 72; // Bottom 0.5"
    // Crop the page
    setPageBoxes("Crop", i, i, rect1);
You can run this in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), from a temporary bookmark, link, or button, or in a custom action.

Cropping a landscape to a portrait

Hi, I have a landscape photo I would like to crop into a portrait with the 4x6 dimensions, obviously iPhoto knows what a landscape and portrait photo is so I have no option to crop it the way I want unless doing it with no lock on but then how do I know i've got the right 4x6 dimensions.
Any help here on this?
Cheers

It is a two step selection process - select the 4x6 constraint then go to the constraint again and you can now choose landscape or portrait

Turn a project from Landscape 1920x1080 to Portrait 1080x1920?

How can I turn a project from Landscape 1920 x 1080 to Portrait 1080 x 1920 in FCP?
Or all I can do is to turn my project (several composite layers x several projects) with the Motion Tab, but then I´ll not have 1080 x 1920 but 1080 x a tiny fragment of 1920...(maybe a 1/3).
I need portrait using full HD.
Thanks very much for any help.
