Double-Click on photo = Black Screen

I have some high quality (for me) photos that came from a professional wedding photographer. They are about 4mb a piece. In iPhoto 08 I had no problem with them. I could move them around, print, do whatever I needed.
With iPhoto 09... when I double-click on them to bring them up to the larger size so that I can see greater detail and edit them... the picture goes to black.
Any clue as to what is going on?? My wife is going to kill me if she can't get to her wedding pictures easily!

Hi Guys,
I have read with interest all your posts on this issue but unfortunately, for all your suggestions my problem is not resolved. I have done the following:
1. Rebuilt the iPhoto Library (both the small thumbnails, all thumbnails and file permissions)
2. Examined the version of 'AppleAppSupport.framework' which is at 1.5 in my machine
3. Downloaded and reinstalled 'Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update'
4. Examined the Console log to determine if any error messages appear when I double-click a photo (there are none)
5. Examined the color-profile and other properties of some photos which exhibit the problem (they are the same as the other photos in the event taken with the same camera)
6. I even tried editing the photo (which is the only time I can see it) and saving it but with no change
I hope that someone here can shed some light on this most strange issue which only started after upgrade to iLife '09.
Regards,
Michael

  • Double Click to expand - Black Screen

    Last Thursday the hard drive crashed on my mini. Took it to Apple Authorized repair and installed new hard drive plus installed Snow Leopard again and supposedly installed iPhoto 9. Started first boot and told unit to update data from Time Machine. All went well, except when I double click any picture to expand I get a black screen. I tried rebuilding the library via holding down command & option keys, creating new library with iPhoto Library Manager, copying iPhoto Library from working clone drive to new drive and deleting iPhoto Cache and Preference files and nothing works. I am ready to erase the drive again and use my cloned drive to make a clone on the new drive and use time machine to update from there. Does anyone have any other suggestions before I go this route?

    Yes, re-install the OS, but not from the Clone.
    There are several reasons why this occurs and one of them is a damaged QuickTime installation. (QuickTime is the technology that supports all the multimedia on your Mac.) As the othe rfixes haven't worked it looks like you have the QuickTime issue.

  • When i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black

    when i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black.  I'm using 10.7.5 with iPhoto 9.4.2.  Can anyone help?

    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?

  • Trying to make a photobook but can't get pages to open by double clicking. Photos from Iphoto 9.6. Help anybody?

    Trying to make a photobook but can't get pages to open by double clicking. Photos from Iphoto 9.6. Help anybody?

    What do you mean? Are you not able to switch from "All pages" view of the book to a single page view by double-clicking a selected page? Or what is the problem?
    Or can you not open the book at all from the source list?

  • Iphoto is quitting unexpectedly when I double click a photo

    iphoto is quitting unexpectedly when I double click a photo within iPhoto to enlarge it or scroll all the way to the top to the most recent pictures.  Any ideas? I have the most recent version and all updates are done.  HELP!

    Now we try repair the original Library. Switch back to it:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    Then assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later:
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Double-click on photo in blog to enlarge?

    Is it possible to enable my blog so that viewers can double-click on a photo to enlarge it?

    Thanks Staussa.
    I've already been to preferences in iweb, iphoto, finder and back again.
    Can't seem to find anything that works.
    Seems like there should be a simple solution!

  • Is it possible with 5.7 to double click a photo to open Lightroom. Still possible with 5.3.

    With Lightroom 5.3 it is possible to open Lightroom by a double click on a photo and to import the file. With 5.4 id didn't work any longer. Is this repaired under 5.7 now?

    Flodur wrote:
    Not with 5.3! all other compatitors are able to do so.
    I can't speak for Adobe. But if Lightroom 5.3 did this it was an oversight. That isn't the way the workflow should run. An efficient Lightroom workflow involves you understanding the catalog, and how utilizing the it is central to effective management of your images in Lightroom. The catalog is a database. Images need to be intentionally added to the catalog and stored in specific folders on your computer. Those folders are chosen by you. By allowing you to double-click on an image to open in Lightroom, that completely destroys any capability to efficiently manage a folder structure.
    Lightroom isn't like other programs. It isn't a file browser that simply looks at every image on your computer. You need to intentionally import and place images in an organized fashion so that they can be managed effectively.

  • Determining Tables on Double Click Event on Split Screen

    Hi,
    I have an OO split screen scenario where I display 2 different internal tables, 1 in the upper section of the split screen and the other in the lower section part. The layout structure used is the same for both internal tables since they display similar information. I am trying to establish that if I use the double click event to drill into specific line items, how do I determine which one of the split screens (and hence which internal table) have I double clicked on so that the correct internal tables details is read for further processing?
    Thanks

    Hi Uwe,
    Thanks very much for this. I have tried this out and it works perfect. However I'm trying to understand this further from the point of view that I did originally look at the event DOUBLE_CLICK in the class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID but didn't think I could use if further since there was no tie in with the optional parameter 'SENDER' you show. It only has 3 parameters listed for this so how does the 'SENDER' optional parameter work? Is this by reference/registration via the SET HANDLER statrement? I also debugged and looked at 'value' passed into the SENDER optional parameter... its not what I expected to see but contains what looked like the whole class object? Apologies but I'm coming more from years in the trenches of "classical" ABAP and seeing the light with ABAP OO!!
    Appreciate all your assistance.
    Thanks

    It sounds as if you have Voiceover enabled on your iPhone. You can turn it off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Voiceover. See this page -

  • Firefox crashes every time I double click on the web screen

    Okay, this may sound funny and I've tried searching the web to no avail. I've just recently upgraded my Firefox and so far it's working...until when I double-clicked on the web page (the fast way to block a whole paragraph to be copied). The Firefox then suddenly crashed. First I thought there might be a web page which caused the problem, but when I experimented double-clicking on the Firefox Homepage, the problem persisted. This hasn't happened before and I have no idea what error does the double-click induces. The other processes---downloading, uploading, etc.---works fine. Maybe you guys will find it minor, but still it annoys me every time I forget and double-click.

    You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.7 to Firefox/3.5.3.
    You can see the Firefox version at the top and the user agent at bottom of the "Help > About" window (Mac: Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox).
    You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.
    You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
    Filter: '''general.useragent'''
    If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

  • Click Email, get Black Screen

    Black screen when I go to Email.
    What's up with that?

    There is another thread that I just used to fix this problem. While on the black screen, hold the sleep and the home button at the same time. The next screen that shows up gives you two options, ignore them until they disappear and the apple symbol shows up on the screen. release the two buttons and wait. This will force close the email, but will not harm or erase any data on your phone

  • MacBook Pro won't start at all - clicking noise with black screen

    Early 2011 MacBook Pro won't start: makes clicking noise after power button is held down, but no screen movement and after click, sounds like computer just stops working. Already did a SMC reset, and undid battery to try to run on charger power only. Same result every time. Also, my Apple Care expired 3 days ago. A few weeks ago had to repair a disk using Disk Utility because there was a discrepancy between how much storage was in the drive versus how much was actually being used.

    You likely have the problem that many of us 15" and 17" 2011 models are having: a faulty soldering GPU and as discussed here -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0. It usually, but not always, beings with screen glitches and then gets to the point where the machine will simply not boot.
    It's  ashamed that you're not longer under AppleCare which would have, at least, got you a new logic board. A new logic board, however, doesn't usually fix the situation - only a BGA Reballing of the GPU seems to have long-lasting fixes.
    Read through a few the articles (not all of them!) and make the decision yourself - and then make the decision about whom your going to contact.
    Good luck,

  • Problem editing - can see thumbnail, but blank when double click on photo

    I just upgraded to iLife 08 and encountered a host of problems. I had about 5000+ photos. Now I suddenly have 7000+. There are a ton of duplicates that I don't know what to do with. Moreover, I can't edit my photos. I've changed the preferences around, but nothing works. When I try to click on the thumbnail to edit the photo, a blank page appears. It looks like I can manipulate it, as when I press rotate, the thumbnail rotates. However, I cannot view anything but the thumbnail. Pls help!

    victoria:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    , a blank page appears.
    Is the box gray with an ! in the middle or is it white? If it's the latter then there's a permission issue. Sodownload 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.
    If it's the former and Terence's recommendation doesn't work you may be looking at starting fresh with a new library and importing the original photos from the old library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    Do you Twango?
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
