Edit screen won't show me my pictures to edit. Full screen goes black.

My first mac. Trying to import pictures from my external drive (FAT32) I imported all my photos, all looks fine, however, when I try to edit one, It takes me to the edit screen with all the photos in the event on top, but it doesn't show the photo I'm trying to edit. I even tried to look at photos fullscreen, and I get the black screen with the top and bottom bars, but no photo on the screen, and after a second, it just all goes black. Interesting thing though, is that I can play a slide show. Has anyone ever had this issue, any help for this newb will be greatly appreciated.

It could be a permissions thing. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option to repair permission of the library.
Post back with the results.
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.

Shows address bar etc. but won't show the actual page, except in "full screen"u

When I launch firefox it only shows address bar etc. but won't show the actual page, except in "full screen" view. My OS is Windows Vista.
In other words, I get the top menu bars and the rest of the screen show my desktop background.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you, Eric. This worked, but only after an inordinately long time. I wonder why that was.

I can see the pictures in Events in iPhoto, but I can't open them. When I right click on an Event it just says Edit, but won't open all the pictures in Events. It used to open, but something is wrong. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi Terence,
I got your note and was able to complete the first part, but when I came to Finder, Go To Folder and I typed in both /var/db/receipts/ and /private/var/db/receipts all I get is NOT FOUND message. I tried several times, but no luck.
Please advise.
Thank you.

How do I make a high-res picture SMALLER than full screen?

I'm making a credits sequence for a friend's wedding and I'd like to make the pictures smaller than full screen so I can show text at the same time. Is this something I can do in iMovie, or am I going to have to fight with FinalCutPro? I should mention I have an older version of iMovie. Any tips on how to do this in iMovie or FinalCut would be appreciated!

You can use the Picture in Picture feature. See here for details.

Another way to do it would be to create your Photo in Photoshop or similar app at the size you need over a background. You can then import the JPEG into iMovie.
You can use the Scrolling Titles in iMovie, but you might also consider using Keynote. In this demo, I created text in Keynote. Then I exported as a QuickTime Movie and then used in in iMovie with a Picture in Picture.

We are all users here. You are not talking to apple on these forums. There is no way anyone here can know the decision making process apple uses to determine what changes to make to the operating system. Also none of use care about which phone you might buy next.

Gray screen cut shows at start up - not gray full screen

HI, I currently have Mavericks, but I'm starting to hate it, At times when I computer puts itself to sleep, It doesn't wake up! The screen stays black, and there's nothing else going. So I did the setting stuff to make sure no bluetooth devices or such disturbe it, and did the removal of the battery, and pressed the power button for 5 seconds, then battery back on, and I also did the control, command, P, R key holding.
Now when my computer starts up only a small sized grey screen shows up, it logs it fine, but the grey screen does not cover the entire screen. Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it?
Thanks! I really appreciate it!

No, the screen that comes up to enter the password is full screen, only when I turn on the computer, also sleep continues to freeze my entire computer and i have to turn it off manually,

Firefox 35 won't hide address and tab bar in full screen on OS X 10.10

Hi, when I put firefox full screen, I expect the address bar and tab bar to auto-hide. From google searching it seems like this was expected behavior some time ago. A pic -> 1000 words.

I also tried disabling all add-ons and nothing changed.

You would normally see the context menu with Hide Toolbars and Exit Full Screen mode if you right-click a toolbar in full screen mode.
Do you have any code in Stylish that could be causing issues like that?
</blockquote>
Nope, zero styles in Stylish currently, this is a new install. As well I've tried going full-screen with all addons disabled and I get the exact same result.
I'm on OS X 10.10.2, FF 35.0.1

On Firefox Nightly (64bit) full-screen is not full-screen. Menu bar and tabs appear above the full-screen.

I'm running Debian Testing (Jessie) with a 3.15-10.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel. I'm running Mozilla Nightly 34.0a1. All is well except in full-screen mode. The problem is present whether running a video using the Flashplayer or HTML5. When playing a video and selecting "Full-screen mode" Firefox goes into full-screen as usual, except... the tab bar appears above the so-called "full" screen and so does the navigation/search bar which appears just below the tab bar and just above the video itself.
I can make this problem disappear by creating a new profile which is basically a "blank slate" (nothing added). I can show you a screen-shot if you wish to see the non-full-screen yourselves.

Hi dsiddens
You can right-click empty space on the Tab bar or Navigation Toolbar to open the toolbar context menu and set a tick on "Hide Toolbars".

Is that so? So you don't use ANY of the other features of the iPhone? You don't use the internet, apps, play games, make calls, take pictures, or ANYTHING else at all? You just wanted full-screen contact image?
I don't believe you...

Ereader won't show up in adobe digital editions

How do I get my black pandigital ereader to show up in adobe digital editions?

I see the same behavior when opening your sample epub. No cover shows on ADE. I opened your epub on Dreamweaver (after zip/unzip) and it doesn't show the image on split view, unless I preview it on a browser. So, there's is something going on with your image I cannot pinpoint. The only way I can have it work is opening the image on Pint (of all applications!) and save it as JPG. When I use this new saved image as cover it shows in ADE. This is the difference between the two images:
1) original image
    size 2.33 MB
   color space: YCCB
   chroma subsampling: 4:4:4:4
    Bit depth: 32
2) resaved on Pint
    size 1.24 MB
   color space: YUV
   chroma subsampling: 4:2:0
    Bit depth: 24
To the naked eye I don't see any difference between the two photos. I'm posting these data for others to analyze. I cannot figure out why one will not show in ADE and the other will.

Make a picture fit the full screen when published?

I can´t seem to get my picture to fit the full screen when I publish it. There are some alternatives.
To drag the picture into the canvas and enlarge it.
Drag it into the Page background or drag it into the web browser background. Iv tried them all and they look allright in iWeb but there are gaps in every direction when published to the web.

See, that leads us to my second problem. I have a trial period on .mac and when I uploaded some wavs, the disk space quickly ran out. I erased the wavs but the space used is still the same. Is there a way to empty the cache so I dan show it to you.
Thanks for the quick reply, by the way.

Can't see TV shows purchased from Music Store in Full Screen Mode

Prior to the release of iTunes 7.0, I had been purchasing episodes of LOST from the iTunes Music Store and watching the episodes on my Mac in Full Screen viewing mode.
Since downloading iTunes 7.0, I have been unable to watch any television shows purchased from the Music Store from that date forward in Full Screen mode. When I select iTunes>View>Full Screen I can hear the audio, but I cannot see the image. Instead, my monitor goes totally black. If I select iTunes>View>Fit to Screen, I am able to see the video, however, the video does not fill up my screen...instead, I have about two inches of desktop showing on either side of the image. Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can once again watch purchased television shows in Full Screen mode?
By the way, I am now running iTunes 7.0.2.
Power Mac G4 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Alan, I just checked and I don't see a section for TV shows in the Canadian store. As the initial deal was made with ABC, I doubt that there is any content available yet for you. I do see the pixar section and the music video section, however.
Similarly, a visit to the Apple Canada site shows no mention of being able to download TV shows.
As with the music, it is going to take a separate lisence to bring TV content to each store. If and when that is going to happen, no one around here would be able to say.
