Help, I've transferred photos however photos are now blurry, they're no lon

I transferred my photos from several backup cd's and all photos prior to back up were crystal clear. I was using the faces feature as well in iphoto when I backed up pics in Sept 09. I had a hard drive failure in November and thanfully i had a backup cd. I reinstalled the photos and instead of my total 4000 or so pics, i have 27,000 photos, it seems like it's also counting the pics faces had stored as well. Most of the backed up photos are very blurry, they are no longer clear. Why has this happened? Can someone please explain this? I had the worst time trying to reinstall my library. I probably didn't do it correctly I'm assuming. Now I'm sitting here having to go through all 27,000 photos, trash any face closeups photos. SO incredibly annoying. Does anyone have any ideas? should I just bring my Mac in to genius bar and have them do it?

hi Terrence, I believe I made the back up using I believe iphoto. How do i just trash all the photos in my current library and restore from my back up dvd? I installed the dvd into my drive, it's name ilife sept 11, 2009 part 13. full backup, it's contents is 1 blue folder name CONTENTS. I double click it, it opens into 2 blue folders, names backup.catalog and the other blue folder is named CONTENTS. 2 white folders as well show up named backup.log.gz nad infoplist.strings. opening the backup.catalog blue folder yields 2 white attachments named CAT and Stat0. can't do anything with them.
I then click on blue folder contents. it's a backup.sparseimage size 4.44Gb, i double click on that, that opens and shows me ilife blue USERS folder, i double click, then blue USERS folder, double click, then i see 3 blue folders, LIbrary, MUSIC and PICTURES.

Can someone help! PDF export failed claims "pages are too big" they are 8x10??
I'm trying to export an 100 page magazine, just a small proof right now and I've done this a million times. There are no errors, all my links are good but still it will not save.
Can anyone help!

Hi marthah,
I'd love to help, but need a little more information to go on. Are you converting from or to PDF, and where is this error occurring (in Acrobat, InDesign, or somewhere else)? What operating system/browser are you using?
Thanks,

Thank you Winston. This works and I can adjust several photos at the same time.

I upgrade to Iphone software version 7.0.4.All of my photos and contacts are now missing.

I upgraded my iphone to the software version 7.0.4
since the upgrade all of my photos and contacts are missing.
Any suggestions on how to retrieve?

So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
I've tried restarting the phone.
I've tried resetting the phone.
I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

Tiff images I used in trial version are now blurry in full version of InDesign CS5.5

I placed two tiff images (visual poems I made) into a file (a manuscript) using a trial version of InDesign CS5.5, and they appeared clear and crisp. Then I bought the full version of InDesign (the Education product as part of Adobe Creative Suite), opened the file, and the two tiff images are completely blurry!
When I open the tiffs in photoshop and view them as "actual pixels," they are clear and crisp. The resolution is 300. For one image I tried making it a lower resolution, and that didn't help.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, I just unchecked the Object Level Display and nothing happened.
Nothing has changed with the images at all. The only thing that is different is that I created the manuscript in a trial version of the software. Maybe it was an earlier version than the software I purchased? Would that have an effect on the images? I didn't purchase the software directly from the trial version I used. What happened is that the trial version expired. Then a month later or so I bought a new laptop, bought the Creative Suite (Education version, so much cheaper than normal), and then installed the software on the laptop. Then I opened my manuscript using the new software, the CS5.5, and everything was fine except for the images being blurry.
Is it possible I used a trial version in CS5.0 and then bought CS5.5 and that has something to do with it?
Thanks for all of your help!!
I just realized I wasn't logged in & that's why I couldn't reply.

I reset my iphone, after backing it up, ALL my photo's are now blurry!

Having had problems with my iphone not blanking the screen when in calls. Which only began yesterday! I was searching online for an answer!
Having found a solution of trying resetting the iphone, i did this. Having backed up my iphone the previous night. So i did this, and then put my backup onto the phone. this did not resolve the problem, but i then relased it was prehaps the screen protector that i had put on the previous day.. concluision it was!!
But havng done this, i then went into my photo's and they were still downloading.. this took ALL night! So this morning, after waiting all night, they were there. They look fine on the first screen, but when i click to view the whole photo. They go blurry.
Im devistated these were all my photos from a trip to Manchester last weekend!!
So what do i do now?
I backed up to i-cloud not my computer.. and when i plug my phone into my laptop i cant access the photo's through this either! I also cant view any video's now!
This is really really frustrating!!!
Thanks
Nicola

Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

My photos from iphoto are gone! they were there last night but now they are missing and im so worried! I had 5000 :(

Hello! I just logged on and plugged my ipad to get the update and it pulled iphoto up like normally, and it said i needed to choose like a place where i wanted my pictures to be stored and then i just did like in my pictures albulm or spot and then i got finally to my normal iphoto and ALL my pics were gone. I had a lot too like 5,000. So, i dont know what to do! And last night i was trying to turn my laptop off, and it kept saying you need to cloe iphoto cause its still in progress, but i had never touched or did anything really with it so i had to force quit iphoto. And then it finally turned out but im not sure what i did.
thanks! All help will be greatly appreciated

He's asking you if when you launch iPhoto with the option key held down you have the option of opening more than one library. If not then you current library may be damaged and you can try to fix it by applying the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I recently updated my iTouch 4th gen to iOS5 and it worked great, but now, my pictures have all gone blurry. Even ones I had just taken are now blurry. Help!

I really need help with this S:

*wish I could edit a post*
Well here is another update. I just bought an album on iTunes last week (Epica - The Divine Conspiracy). I opened iTunes up on my phone and went to purchases and clicked the little iCloud imnage next to the first song, it downloaded fine. I went to iTunes and tried to sync the SAME EXACT album and got error -54 again. So this tells me that it has something to do with communication between iTunes and my iTouch during a sync.
There is no way to download all at once from your purchases on the itunes app on my ipod and most of my music is from CDs I own so it doesnt really help me in the long run, just proves my ipod is still capable of holding songs and playing them.
Also, I saw a lot of error codes are generated by itunes being blocked by the firewall and I know this isn't the case since it is allowed in my settings and I even went as far as disabling my firewall during my last sync attempt

Getting really frustrated! I bought Photoshop 7, upgaded to CS2 then upgraded to CS3, now I have had computer problems and looks like both are now gone, they were not de-installed. I have limited bandwidth (I live int he country) and need a new box versio

I bought Photoshop 7, upgraded to CS2 then upgraded to CS3. I live in the country and have limited bandwidth for my internet, therefore, the cloud will not work and I must have a box version. In Jan Best Buy did work on my laptop and did not de-install CS3, now my desktop has died and believe CS3 on it is also gone. I have the serial numbers and can not find how to contact Adobe.
I only use it for photography and do not want CS6, so I need help, can anyone help me. Thanks a million.

Why on Earth are you getting frustrated? ?? !!
You don't even need to "contact Adobe", unless you need to activate that old deleted version. You are entitled to two activations.
Just download the CS3 trial version and input your serial numbers (the installer might prompt you for the previous serial number since your CS3 probably has an update s/n).
Download CS3 products <=== click on link
Anytime you want to look for something on the Adobe site, just do a Google search and add "site:adobe.com" (without the quotes) at the end of the string of keywords, for instance, this what to type in Google to find the CS3 downloads:
download Photoshop cs3 site:adobe.com
Just change "CS3" for whatever version you want.
Using the Adobe web site search function is futile.
Now, if you had two activations already, just call customer service and they will deactivate one or both for you—after quickly verifying your registration.. No big deal.
Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
Then on the next page, click Chat
There is also a phone option.

I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.

I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals. Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!

It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

Could someone please help me import my iphoto photos into aperture? They are now just referenced files.

Hello,
I am a longtime iphoto user and installed aperture this past december. At that time I imported all my iphoto photos as referenced files and kept them in their iphoto location. Since that time, every photo I took was uploaded directly into aperture and stored there. I am now comfortable enough with aperture that I would like to use it as my primary photo viewer / manipulator and would like to merge my two libraries into one single aperture library. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do this.
I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect. I then tried reimporting my iphoto library, however, this simply duplicated many of my events (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). Both of these attempts did nothing to combine my aperture projects and my iphoto events (which are now seen as a seperate iphoto tab under projects). I am aware that I can now switch to my iphoto library within aperture in version 3.3, but I just want everything stored in one place and in my aperture library. Can someone please help me with this?
The only thing I can think of is deleting all of the iphoto events from aperture and then reimporting them, but I am scared I will either delete something permenantly or that they will simply reimport as referenced files and remain within iphoto.
Please help!
Thanks,
- Mike

Mike,
I am not quite clear about the current state of your iPhoto and Aperture libraries. It looks like you have plenty of broken links to referenced masters in either library. Whatever you do now, it is very important to ensure that you have a working backup, both of your iPhoto Library and your Aperture library, before you try a major reconstruction.
I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.
In what way did it not have any effect? From the effects you are describing, it looks like all your original master images have been removed from the iPhoto Library and are now inside the Aperture library as managed masters - at least, this would explain, why trying to import the iPhoto library resulted in duplicated projects (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). You removed the original masters from the iPhoto library, and now you could not import it, since the originals are now in Aperture.
For me it looks, like you simply need to delete the iPhoto images marked with an exclamation mark, for these are already bound to images that you imported earlier. It is perfectly o.k. that the recently imported iPhoto Library appears in a separate section of the projects in your Library Inspector Panel. Each iPhoto event should appear as a project. Aperture will put them there, so you can find them easily.
You should check now, if the originally imported images, that you imported as referenced, are now managed. If you enable badge overlays you should see no longer any arrows on the thumbnails of your earlier imports. Also, if you select one of these images, you should be able to toggle between original master and version by typing the "M" key.
Define some smart albums (File > New > Smart album) based on the file status: Add a rule: File status is.
One smart album: File Status is referenced
One smart album: File Status is managed
One smart album: File Status is missing
The first album should be empty.
The second album should show all your images you originally imported from iphoto as managed, and that you recently consolidated.
The third album should show your recent import - the images imported from iPhoto after you consolidated the originals to Aperture and removed these images from iPhoto.
Post back, when you have checked the file status of your images in Aperture and we can be sure were the images are exactly.
Regards
Léonie

When I select photos, the albums are listed. However, the first album is covered over by the category label and cannot be selected. The other albums are visible and can be selected.

When I select Photos, the albums are listed. However, the first album name is covered over by the larger "Album" category label. I cannot select that first album. The other albums listed lower work just fine. Thank you.

I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts ?

I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts with all files and photos saved 3 times on same iMac !! Any idea how to avoid this ?

Yes, you ran into a very understandable problem.
When you use Migration Assistant, it cannot over-write the account that you happen to be using at the time. Upon migrating accounts, it will tell you that it is going to create a new one, but that message is easy to miss.
If you have three identical accounts, log in to the account you want to keep, and delete the redundant ones in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Now that you know, the easiest way to migrate accounts is to use Setup Assistant when you first get a new Mac. That eliminates any possibility for this to occur, but most people are so eager to use their new Mac that they elect to migrate later.
That's OK too, but in that case you would want to create a temporary account whose sole purpose is to run Migration Assistant so that you may migrate your old one with an identical name. Be sure to give the new account Administrator privileges. When that finishes you would log in to the newly migrated account, and delete the temporary account.
