While I was tranfserring photos message came up that home disk was full and iphoto kept quitting? Please help
What part of "full" is not clear?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

    open Iphoto on your pc and on the top right corner check if there is somthing spinning or/and says downloading
    (# of picture) from poto stream if you see that then wait for it to finish and then check.

  • HELP, please! My photos have disappeared from iPhoto library & I can only see them on the screensaver.

    Firstly, I should say we haven't updated/installed/deleted anything.  I just opened iPhoto yesterday and first it told me it couldn't open up without specifying a library, but then it seemed our library has just disappeared.  I then created a new library as, I have to admit, me & my DH are complete tecno dummies, but that didn't help much.  The only thing which we have done in the past couple of days is set up the screensaver to play our photos.  So now we can only see the photos on that - I'm presuming that means they haven't been completely lost (?) but am in a panic as we've got no back-up (three years worth of photos!).
    When I go on 'system preferences' (hope that's the correct translation, our computer's using Italian) and the screensaver, I can see 'picture folder' where all the photos are but I can't find that anywhere else on the computer.
    Also, I read other threads about similar probs & tried launching iPhoto pressing down 'option & control' but that didn't help me out either.
    We also spent half an hour on the phone to the Apple helpline here in Italy (yes, that's a charged call) to try and understand what's gone wrong and the advisor just kept telling us she didn't know how to help us out 'cause our Mac is an old model
    Apologies in advance for my complete ignorance about how to solve this problem but I'd be really grateful if someone out there could shed some light on what's happened. 

    when you say to go to my Pictures Folder, do you mean to go on Finder, then Pictures, then look at the iPhoto library?
    Yes. Is there more than one there?
    The material in your screensaver are cached images. They cannot be recovered and soon they will go way.
    If you have deleted your Library (and it sounds like you have done this, accidentally)  the you have deleted your Photos and you need to restore from your back up.

  • I have lost all my events, now i can only see my photos in the photos section /ee

    I HAVE LOST MY ALL MY EVENTS, NOW I CAN ONLY SEE MY PHOTOS IN THE PHOTOS SECTION. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE ?

    Never heard of that before. Events and Photos are exactly the same thing, just presented in a different way.
    What version of iPhoto? Can you give us a full description of what you see in the Events section?
    Finally, please don't type in block capitals They are harder to read and it feels to the reader like you're shouting at everybody.

  • Making a slide show and can only see the top 1/4 of the bottem line of photos in the project.  help?

    I am working with beat markers and it was going along fine until suddenly everything went awry.  I dropped in a bunch of photos and the last photo assigned itself a time of over 3 minutes.  Beat markers are at less than 1 second.  I have removed the beat markers for the photos I want to remove, in order to try again.  When I try to delete the 3 minute picture the entire project loses its beat markers AND on top of all of that, I can only see the top 1/4 of the pics in the bottom line of the project.  I've tried several work arounds and can't fix this.  Anyone have suggestions?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I can only see one photo at a time

    I use to be able to see a thumbnail of all my photos. Now for some reason I can only see one photo at at a time. I have to use the scroll bar to go up and down. It is so frustrating. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    In the lower right corner of the iPhoto window is a slider. Move it to the left. Does that work?

  • I have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see picture from one of the albums.what should i do?

    i have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see pictures from one of the albums.what should i do?

    You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
    Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

  • My whole catalogue was nearly lost due to a failed external hard drive. Professional help recovered photos but I can't find my smart tags. Is it possible they were lost on failed drive?

    My whole catalogue was nearly lost due to a failed external hard drive. Professional help recovered photos but I can't find my smart tags. Is it possible they were lost on failed drive?

    Hi,
    In order to recover the tags/albums, etc, you need to have the catalog db. Since currently you only have images, the organization done in the older catalog is probably lost.
    Which version of PSE you have and is there any chance, that you have access to catalog location (default is : %programdata%\adobe\elements organizer\catalogs on Windows and ~/library/app support/adobe/organizer/catalogs on MAC) ?
    Thanks

  • I can only see some of the info (e.g. the email Facebook gives you) for some friends in Contacts. I can see everything for others. Their b-days aren't listed in my Contacts (but these friends have their B-days on their profile on FB). Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    I can only see some of the information of my Facebook friends in my Contacts. For example, a friend has a birthday today. I received an email that she and another friend have birthdays this week. I received a notification on my iPhone and iPad that her birthday was today. It was never displayed in my Notification Center or Calendar beforhand, like it's displayed for other friend's (for other friends, it's displayed in the Notification Center, with the Calendar icon, 1 day before). I looked at every setting I could think of and the Help pages on Facebook. Nothing is working. My friend with the birthday today has her birthday openly listed on her Profile information on her Facebook page. In my contacts, her Facebook email (the one Facebook assigns you when you join) is listed. However her picture and birthday are not listed. I displayed my Facebook Contacts only, and roughly 20 showed up and not the rest. It's like the devices are not recognizing those people and putting their information in the respective places. I have an iPad 3rd Gen, iPhone 5, and MacBook Pro (purchased in January 2013. I hope that helps) and ALL the software updates are current. Can anyone help? Also, my MacBook cannot access my Contacts from Yahoo. Despite my typing in the correct password repeatedly as well as deleting and adding the Yahoo account again. I'd be grateful for any and all help. Thank you.

  • I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

    I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

    Hi;
    Is the form a form that was shared with you or one that you created originally?  The History you see is from the point you had access to the form, so if the form was shared with you it would only show history from that point forward.
    If this doesn't explain what you see you can email me the link to your form at [email protected] and I will see if we can see anything.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Help please, I can only see outlines when I use the shape tool in CS5 ?

    When I open action script 2 or 3 in CS5, and draw a rectangle or any shape, I can only see outlines? The problem IS NOT the outlines button that is in the layers palet as I have changed this many times and it has mad no difference and the problem IS NOT because I have selected no fill or colour for the shape.
    If you want to see a screenshot of my computer follow this link as I have exactly the same problem http://forums.adobe.com/message/2927153
    BUT interestingly, when I have opened someone elses .fla work document, I can draw and fill shapes without a problem, which makes me wonder whether I am missing some basis setting when I start with my own new document ??
    Any help would be much appreciated. I am fairly conversant with Photoshop but a newbie in Flash

    I've learned something new since that posting you point to that might help--it has the same effect as using the outline tool on the layer, but globally.  In the main menu select View -> Preview Mode -> and anything except Outlines.
