Flip Transition in IPhoto Blacks out

when i put random transitions and convert the photos into a slide show, all of the "flip" transitions black out just prior to the the next photo. how can i fix that. I just purchased and reinstalled the ILife '06 thinking this would fix it, but it hasn't.

WuD:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. If that doesn't help, download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto application with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the applicaion or just drag the application into that field.
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.

Iphoto 11 thumbnails partly blacked out after importing

My existing library of approximately 12K photos in iPhoto 11 appears fine with no problems. However, now I find that when I try to import new photos into it, the thumbnails as well as the imported photos are partly blacked out. The import process takes longer than it should as well. The same photos are imported correctly into Lightroom so they are not the problem. I've rebuilt the library and the thumbnails, but the problem continues. Any suggestions? Thanks

Have a read of this thread:
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
It describes how to delete and reinstall the Raw support. It has worked for some folks.

iphoto is blacking out vertical images when importing. how do i fix this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

After Edit in IPhoto Picture and Thumbnail Completely Blacked Out

I cropped a photo then hit DONE. Saved new size but thumbnail and picture all black. Photo itself visible in editing view, but not in any other view. Tried solution suggested to hit arrow next then esc but all this did was black out all photos that were scrolled through. How do I crop and save? How do I get my photos back from blackout?

Rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Q2: text boxes blacked out in preview

Using the Special Occasions template there are text boxes in two colours, a light blue and a light grey.
When I preview a book in pdf before buying or printing the light grey text boxes are all blacked out. Of course the easy solution is to delete them and do without them which I have done but they do add a little something to the template and I would keep them if I could.
Any ideas whether what I am seeing is normal? Does it happen for others? Is there anything that can fix it?

Hi again
Surely you realize that if you are doing what I suggested,
you will need to create a text caption and position it over the
previously empty fields. You may also want to ensure there is no
transition applied to them. And in addition to that, note that the
Text Entry Box may well be pausing the slide before the caption has
had a chance to display. So check your timings.
Cheers... Rick

Slideshow Error: Some pictures on burnt disc 'black out'

Hi, This is a bit of a strange one.
I have authored a disc with a slideshow that previews fine in both DvDSP's simulation mode and also when opening the Video_TS folder in DvD Player.. (I am using the 'push' transition for each picture)..
When I burn the disc and play it back in a DvD player (hardware or on the Mac) some of the pictures (not all, but always the same ones i think) push in fine, then go black and then reappear in order to slide out again.
All the JPEGs were all exported from Aperture at the same time and all fine, nothing special or crazy about them - but some of them (arbitrarily it would seem) do this black out thing while others are fine.
The first burn it started about 8 slides in (out of about 20 total), so I changed the order.. second burn - nothing changed.. same ones played up and the others were fine.
Cant work out why it would do this.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have converted the slideshow into a track - and it seems to have stopped it but that doesn't leave me any the wiser for this or future projects.
Help appreciated.
Thanks

Black out screen when editing

Has anyone had problems where the screen blacks out and directs me to my iPads app menu? This happens whenever I try to edit a document , highlight , or even flip pages. I've tried to restore my purchases, I have all my programs updated... I am confused

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I'm using adobe reader. I subscribed to the
covert PDF to word doc and it was working fine then a week or so later it
just blacks out and shuts itself off completely. It happens as soon as I
select a word , then drag the blue dots to choose a sentence to make note
of, it won't even let me finish selecting the sentence before it shuts off.
Hopefully there is a way to get it back to the way it was

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

Iphoto blanks out when editing

Another proof of why I have fear of Apple updates. On iPhoto, when editing a picture with Enhance feature it just blanks out (or blacks out) after using it, not for all pictures but most. Very frustrating. Any ideas out there? Thanks F

What does that have to do with your fear of updates?
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?

Preview clips blacked out in imovie/desktop prefs after 10.4 upgrade

I recently upgraded to tiger 10.4 and when i open sys prefs/desktop/iphoto folder all of my images come up black squares. The same thing happens when I open imovie and want to access photo clips. The file names appear but images are blacked out. Any idea how to fix this?

The server slowly ground to a halt overnight, so we had no choice but to format and install fresh. It was a nightmare, but thankfully, it's over.

Legal requirement to black out eyes of images of people on web site

A new web site which encourages people to report bad situations and other crappy aspects of modern life has a legal requirement that any photos of people posting or alleged bad guys have their eyes blacked out.
I understand that TV stations use AVID for blurring, and that Photoshop could easily be used for a quick mask in a less dynamic environment, but is there a proven technique that be implemented in a web site? They have a fifteen minute posting lag time for editing out unacceptable material, ideally, but they may have to use a twice a day posting.

Macbook air 11" blacks out takes minutes to start back up again.

I have had this problem on and off since last November. First started when I using a LCD projector and I thought that was the issue. Last time it did it was last night...did it a number of times in succession. Now I am flipped out because this the my travel laptop. I will be working on ti, it blacks out and shuts down. Sometimes it stays down for a minute other time it stays that way for longer.
Is someone else having this problem?

HI..
Try a Safe Mode boot.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe mode, click Restart from the Apple  drop down menu.
Then monitor to see if the Mac blacks out again.

Passing plist Items between views with a flip transition

Dear developers,
My question is a simple one, but the background around it can appear a bit complicated - please bear with me!
I have an app with two views; a flip transition allows navigation between them. In each view there is a UILabel - these display strings from a plist. The first View displays 'Question' strings and the second View displays 'Answer' strings.
The plist is structured as follows.
Root................................................(Array)
.............Item 0.................................(Dictionary)
.........................Question...................(String) "Question0?"
.........................ItemChild..................(Dictionary)
.....................................Answer.........(string) "Answer0"
.............Item 1.................................(Dictionary)
.........................Question...................(String) "Question1?"
.........................ItemChild..................(Dictionary)
.....................................Answer.........(string) "Answer1"
.............Item 2.................................(Dictionary)
.........................Question...................(String) "Question2?"
.........................ItemChild..................(Dictionary)
.....................................Answer.........(string) "Answer2"
In the first View there is a button that allows the user to navigate down the Items to view a desired Question/string. On flipping to the second view the itemChild Answer/strings are revealed. This works fine.
On flipping back to the first view however, the Item0 strings are displayed and i don't want this to happen!. Instead I would like the most recent item string to be retained/passed, so that on returning to the first view, the previously selected item question is displayed.
E.g. View 1 (displays Item2/Question2) ---> flip Transition --> View 2 (displays ItemChild/Answer2) --->flip Transition ----> View 1 (displays Item2/Question2)
I have tried to make this work by using the following code;
@secondViewController
- (IBAction)done {
NextItemViewController *controller = [[NextItemViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NextItemViewController" bundle:nil];
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
controller.Question = [[self. flashCards objectAtIndex:counter]objectForKey:@"Question"]; <-- i thought this might pass on the Item index position to the firstView
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
but i think this is being ignored when the first view is reloaded.
how can i get this working?
the code is presented below and the source code for this project is here; http://rapidshare.com/files/408592175/NextItem_2.zip
Should you require further clarification (if the above doesn't make sense)- please get in touch.

The first view is never reloaded and never re-appears, James. The above method creates a new instance of NextItemViewController and presents its view modally. In other words, The first instance of NIVC is the parent of the first instance of FVC, which is the parent of the second instance of NIVC and so on. Each time you do a Flip->Back cycle you add new instances of NIVC and FVC to a growing "stack" of modal view controllers, none of which are ever released.
Since your intent in 'done' is to return to the parent of the modal view, all you need to do there is send a dismissModalViewController message to the parent controller (whose address is always stored in the 'parentViewController' property of the child modal view controller). So this is all you need:
- (IBAction)done {
[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; // <-- back to parent view
Since you already had 'FlippedViewDidFinish' in the parent, the following example code uses that method instead of the code above. Both examples do exactly the same thing in this case.
// NextItemViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@class FlippedViewController;
@interface NextItemViewController : UIViewController {
- (void)FlippedViewDidFinish:(FlippedViewController *)controller; // <-- add declaration
@end
// NextItemViewController.m
@implementation NextItemViewController
- (IBAction)Flip {
if (counter >= [flashCards count]) // <-- valid card?
return;
@end
// FlippedViewController.m
@implementation FlippedViewController
- (IBAction)done {
[(NextItemViewController*)self.parentViewController FlippedViewDidFinish:self]; // <-- back to parent view
@end
This second example also includes protection against calling 'Flip' with an invalid array index (i.e. when the deck is empty and "done" is displayed). You might consider disabling the "ItemChild" button in that case, and similarly disabling the "Next Item" button when the deck is empty, but I guess those decisions will depend on whether you want to automatically roll the counter back to 0, etc. I generally hard code array index protection even when it's "impossible" to access the array with an out-of-range index from the UI.

Using Black Outer Glow: no joy.

In Illustrator CS3 I've tried using a black outer glow around text objects with success.
However, when I place said text over another coloured object (i.e. a white square), the outer glow doesn't appear correctly. I can see the outer glow peeking out from underneath the coloured object but NOT surrounding the letters themselves. When I drag the text to an empty area, the black outer glow appears as it should. It's as though the effect is there, but is somehow blocked by the underlying object. I've re-started Illustrator, opened new files, etc. I can't seem to solve this problem on my own.
If anyone has some kind of answer, I'd appreciate it!

I'm using CS4 Mac.
Outer glow set to black and Normal or Multiply works fine against a white rectangle that's larger than the text. But if I reduce the size of that rectangle so its edges fall inside the text, the glow's spread appears to change as it crosses the rectangle. The spread (density and size) is stronger over the rectangle than over the artboard beyond it. The transition is so abrupt that one can actually "see" the edges of the rectangle.
One might assume this is somehow a function of the artboard's "vector transparency" which interacts differently with the glow effect than an object painted white. And maybe there is some explanation along those lines, but it's beyond my technical grasp. If, for example, I place a larger, second rectangle -- white or another color -- behind the first one (so it's lowest in the stack of three objects) that unsightly transition vanishes.
More important (and a reason to doubt the hypothesis above) is that Tom's drop shadow technique does not produce this problem. The drop shadow is even over the edges of the small white rectangle and out onto the artboard.
So there's something going on there with the outer glow effect....

How do you black out video w white titles showing audio playing ,than slowly fade to reveal video

How do you black out video w white titles showing audio playing ,than slowly fade to reveal video

From the Transitions browser (far right of iMovie's window, shaped like an hourglass), drag the Fade to Black transition to the gap between the Title and video thumbnail. Alternatively, drag the Cross Dissolve transition - rather than fading to black, the image will gradually transform from the Title to the video.
Double-click the transition to open the Inspector - you can change the duration there if preferred.
John
PS. Re-reading your question, if the video is continuous with a Title inserted, you will need to split the clip at the point where the Title ends, then drag in the transition. To split the clip, right-click (or Control-click) at the split point then select "Split Clip" from the pop-up menu.
