Editing not working in iphoto

How come when i edit a photo it always reverts back to the original, there is no "save" tab and it does not do it automatically as it says...why??

What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

Since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open. I have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard which is the suggested solution to then open a suggested solution to rebuild the library, but it does not work. iPhoto still does not open. can someone please help?
thank you

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

Videos not working in iPhoto

Installed Snow Leopard last week and since then I cannot get my video files to play through iPhoto (I have the 08 version). I installed Quick Time 7 as suggested in a discussion elsewhere, but it didn't do the trick. I can get the videos to play through QT if I open the files through Finder, just not working w/ iPhoto.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Try this:
Launch the Terminal and at the prompt paste
sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache
It will ask for your password. Type it in (but remember it won't show it to you) and hot return.
Quit the Terminal and restart iPhoto.

Aperture 2.0 Previews not working in iPhoto 08

I am using Aperture 2.0 and iPhoto 08 with all the most recent updates available. I have iPhoto 08 setup to show previews of my Aperture projects. I did this by telling iPhoto not to organize my photos and leave them in the current location. The previews are viewable in IPhoto, but when I edit or change the photos in Aperture, the changes do not reflect in Iphoto until I clink on the actual photo I updated in Aperture. Then I will see them, but when I click back to the main events window the incorrect older preview of the photo shows up. I have re created both my Aperture and iPhoto libraries with new "test" photos and the problem still exists. I tried this same scenario in the Apple Store on a MacBook Pro and the previews update automatically in iPhoto without any intervention from the user. Any ideas why my Aperture/iPhoto isn't working the same way?

Jason
The anomaly there is whatever you witnessed in the Apple Store.
When you import the Preview into iPhoto it makes a thumbnail of it. That's what you see in the Event window.
iPhoto has no way of knowing about changes made to a photo by another application unless those changes are made via iPhoto (as an external editor, for instance). So, it does not read the Aperture database live, it cannot know there have been changes, so it does not update it's thumbnail. Because you're referencing the files in Aperture when you access the file you get the latest version. If you weren't, then you would never know there had been a change in iPhoto.
I guess they thought that folks would only share with the other apps after you finished processing them.

Raw editing not working

Leopard 1.5.2 and all other current updates installed as of February 12, 2008. Macbook white April 2007 no other problems. I have imported some raw images from a Nikon D80. They show in the iPhoto events browser but when I try to edit them all the menu options along the bottom of the iPhoto window are greyed out. Edit, Enhance, Rotate, Crop, Straighten, all of them. Full screen works but again, those options are greyed out. All works fine with jpg files. I have rebuilt the databases by starting iPhoto with Command-Option without any improvement.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is this the first time you've tried to edit a D80 raw file? You might try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try the edit again.
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 created 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 and Leopard. 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.

In browser editing not working on some sites

Hi. A client of mine wants to use in browser editing for a site I created in Muse CC 2014 so I tried to test it out. I log in successfully to In Browser Editing but nothing on the site is editable. When I log in to my own site through in browser editing it works exactly as it should so I am really puzzled. Both sites were created in Muse CC 2014 and constructed in similar ways. The only difference I can think of it that they are hosted by different companies:
My site - IBE works - hosted by GoDaddy - Q Services Design - Home
Problem site - IBE doesn't work - hosted by Network Solutions - Batesville Civic Center - Home
BTW, the site I am having problems with uses a web-safe font (Arial) so that shouldn't be an issue.
Any suggestions? Any input would be greatly appreciated as I sold this site to the client based on the in browser editing capability.
FionaQ

I just logged in to my "problem site" to take a screenshot and it is now editable. I'm not sure what was going on earlier as I logged in and out a few times and never could edit … But all is well. Hopefully this was just one of those glitches. FYI the browser I was using when it didn't work (and when it did) was Safari 6.1.6.
Thanks for your speedy help.

ICloud is not working in iphoto, iCloud is not working in iphoto

Hi,
I am having difficulties with installing iCloud 9.5.1. on my iMac from 2007. I have updated all operating systems, but still iPhoto is not working properly. The main reason why I wanted to upgrade from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto 9.5 is the iCloud feature. So all my pictures taken with my iPhone are synced to my iMac. Here lies the problem, I cannot check the iCloud box in the preferences of the installed iPhoto 9.5.1 Neither can I check the option to use iCloud under the iCloud tab in the iPhoto overview.
I have reinstalled iPhoto several times, cleaned it from the OS via CleanMyMac, but still is not working.
I used to use an WD external harddrive as my library, but not anymore. Maybe there is still a hidden path somewhere in my computer referring to that old location? I have made a new local library on my iMac, but also this did not resolve the problem.
I can import pictures from a local folder, or iPhone to the newly installed iPhoto. Although this takes quite some time, this part of the program seems to work.
Anybody some good advice? I don't know anymore where to find the problem.
Many thanks in advance!

I cannot check the iCloud box in the preferences of the installed iPhoto 9.5.1 Neither can I check the option to use iCloud under the iCloud tab in the iPhoto overview.
You do no say how the System Preferences "iCloud" options are set.
Have you clicked the "Options" button besides Photos in the System Preferences iCloud and enabled "My Photo Stream"?
You have upgraded to MacOS X 10.9.3, if you are using iPhoto 9.5.1, right?

Drag and Drop not working in iPhoto

I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, and recently when I try to drag and drop in iPhoto, it stops working. I want to drag photos from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in order to upload those pictures online. I have never had a problem with drag and drop in Snow Leopard, but suddenly Lion does not want to let me do it.
I checked around and found out about repair permissions, which I did, then I restarted the computer. Drag and Drop worked for a few minutes, then all the sudden it wouldn't let me again. I was in the same album, trying to drag and drop the same group of pictures, and nothing had changed when it just stopped working again. I really don't want to have to restart the computer EVERY time it wont let me do this. Does anyone have any other advice? Command copy/paste works for now, but drag and drop is just easier so I'd like to get the issue resolved! Oh, and my software is completely up to date as well.

Does anybody have any ideas?
I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
Thanks!

Three Point Edit not working correctly :(

Hi there,
first of all I'd like to say thank you Adobe for listening to your users. And I hope this one gets noticed right away....:
It appears that 3 point editing ist not working correctly.
Right now I'm editing a video and I heavily rely on 3 point editing.
I have quite a lot XDCAM EX 50i clips which are all in one sequence that is used as source.
Coming from tape workflows I really don't like clicking clip after clip...I need to edit
Now fortunately one can choose to either have a sequence as source edited in nested or as individual tracks. Very nice!
Very bad is that 3 point editing only works when "nested" is activated. Again, very bad!
As soon as I want to use my source sequence with its individual tracks and hit (.) or (,) just nothing happens. Hmpf!
Come on guys, that is essential editing stuff, not fancy speech detection blabla...sorry but this is mega-annoying right now....
It says "Pro" right after "Premiere". So please make it pro! Professionals need ROCK SOLID essential functions.
Make us editors happy having switched from Avid/FCP etc.
Make essential stuff rock solid. That's what makes an app "pro".
Cheers and please mind my harsh words. Just a little upset right now. (I know that's not pro either )

Hi bmfm,
I think I know what's going on. The behavior you describe happens when you try to edit back into your original sequence. Can try making a new sequence to cut your selects into? See the page in help for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/edit-sequences-loaded-source-monitor.html
Thanks,

In-browser editing not working enabled

I am attempting to give access to customer in-browsing capabilities for basic updates to website content. SIte is BC hosted and built with Muse. In-browser editing in site properties and even in the admin details. If not possible, what options will work to allow client access to edit site without having access to computer with original files on it?

Found it was not working in Chrome. Used different browser and works fine.

Photo Stream will not work in iPhoto

I have read tons of posts on this. I have a brand spanking new macbook pro. I migrated all my data from a time capsule backup. Admittedly, Photostream wasn't working on my old macbook (white macbook) but it was running so slow, that even troubleshooting the issue was difficult. I have reset icloud, done the whole, rebuilding of the library... nothing works. I have all the latest updates and ios 5 on my iphone 4. I am running a 13: i5 dual core MBpro late 2011. Please help!! Photostream worked in the original iphoto 11 upgrade with lion... the last update ( I think 9.2 and subsequently, 9.2.1....) has not worked... I was even given a hack to go into the package contents and change a photostream.db file but was still unable to fix.... please any help would be appreciated...

Thanks Lani.... nothing but problems since Icloud... and LION!!! Snow Leopard, no issues - I'm also having "heap zone" errors in imoivie.
Try this - I am going to try tonight. When I log in as a guest... photostream works - with my apple id and everything which leads me to believe it's a corrupt library file. A corrupt iphoto library would only corrupt those photos - not functionality of the icloud service, so I don't think my iphoto library is the problem. I was with a "Genius" for 2 hours and they couldn't figure it out and then tried to blame me and said the problem was with my data which is crap.... I bought a huge lion book and have dons tons of research and here's the only logical conclusion I can draw - I'll post if it works but here's the idea:
Backup all your data. I have a time capsule, so if you have one, that's going to make this a lot easier.
I am going to make a flash drive of Lion (if you don't know how to do this, there's an app that helps you do it and lots of explanations you can find on how to do this. Don't do the install from recovery partition. Literally obliterate the whole thing... I tried the install from recovery and wasnt a fit for our problem.
I am going to do a clean install, and drag and drop all my apps, docs, music, movies, pics etc... manually - I will not restore the time machine backup. I am going to check the iphoto library package contents to make sure there are no files that relate to my home folder (which is the problem apparently...) and I am going to rename my home folder and put everything in fresh. I believe this will work.... but then there';s the UBD process from Lion which is for "mobile apps" and icloud that keeps LOGGING my keychain and taking tons of CPU usage - like 100% all the time. I have to delete the login.keychain and it goes away for a while if I turn icloud completely off... this all annoys me becayse I have a brand new iphone, brand new Time Capsule, macbook pro and apple tv --- there is NO reason I should be having all these issues. I love Mac... but only when it "works..." and it hasn't been working in a long time....
Does anyone have thoughts on this idea??
Thanks!
Steve

Save as un-editable not working

Hi,
I need to protect my content. I have used makerefmovie and I have chmod the directory to be safe from listing. I would love to use the script from Apple that makes the master file un-editable, however it seems to not work now. It runs and then the movie vanishes without trace and error an message appears saying the script failed as the movie was in use.
I have 10.6.4 and latest QT Pro. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Michael

I'm willing to send this file to any Mac user running QT 7.
Just email (screen name left @mac.com) me for an updated version.
It works and is a pretty powerful deterrent to video "theft". Not that it is foolproof (it can be "hacked" using HexEdit) but it helps keep the honest people from saving your files.
It's like a lock on a glass door. And many users have screen capture tools (I use SnapzProX) that can record anything I view on my Mac.

SQL Window Text Edits Not Working

I've been using SQL Developer 1.5.1 for some time now and it has worked great. Just recently, I'm not able to do simple text edits in the SQL window. I run sql queries constantly and have had to go back to an older version of SQL Developer. I have no idea what I may have done to cause this.
I can type in the sql window, but I cannot move my cursor to any part of the entered text. I cannot move to a new line [Enter key], or back space, or delete text. I can highlight text and delete it, but simple text edits do not work.
Has anyone experienced this and if so, is there a known cause and/or fix?
I have no idea on how to uninstall this version and reinstall it. I've tried deleting the files and re-running the zip, but my old settings are still present.
Help?

I had exactly the same problem and the Tools/Options/Accelerator/Load Preset fixed it. Thanks a lot!!!!

Fix or Edit not working in Elements 9 - help

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to Elements so am not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if my program is not working properly. I downloaded PSE 9 last week and went in last night to open up some raw files (my first attempt at shooting raw). I had no problem getting them into the organiser and the first photo I went into Fix and selected Edit full and it opened up the editing program no problem. However, after I closed the photo I couldn't get back in to the edit mode (no matter which photo I tried). If I got out of Elements and went back in and try to select edit from the home page Elements closed down on me.
I found that if I restarted my computer I could then get into the edit section with no problem but the same thing happened - I could only go in and work on one photo and when I closed that photo I couldn't get back in. I minimised all my open files and program in case it was lurking somewhere on my desktop behind everything but no luck. Had to restart my computer again.
What am I doing wrong!!!??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wendy.

That's really more of a Photoshop Elements problem, Wendy.
