I need help with iPhoto slideshow.  I can't "save" changes. Particularly the rotate feature.  I rotate a photo 90 degrees... and the next time I play it...it's back to original.  Sideways!  Very frustrating.

How do I save changes on iPhoto slideshow.  I rotate a photo... then it reverts back to original (sideways) next time it plays.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
is your slideshow from an album or from the slideshow mode?
what theme are you using?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Now I've really done it.  I need help with iPhoto as I can't get into it at all.

    I sent a request earlier regarding my MacBook Pro.  I was trying to set up both computers so that I could network, mainly wanted to send my photos from the iMac (running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '08).  After some trials I got the two computers so that they appeared to be networked.  I set system preferences so that PICTURES was what would be shared between the iMac and the MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto '11).
    I had both computers set to recognize each other, the passwords worked, and I thought that was it until I was ready to move my photos from the iMac to the MacBook Pro.  Before I knew what was going on, the MacBook got busy on its own and informed me that it was busy and that iPhotos had to do some updating because the photos (which I then assumed were the ones on the iMac) were too old as they were.  It took some time, during which I noticed that when it got to the point of updating faces there were a couple of faces I didn't think I had seen in my MacBook photos.  I let it finish what it was doing.
    HERE IS MY PROBLEM:  When it finally got finished I couldn't see any new photos on the MacBook, so I went to the iMac to see what had been done there.  Big surprise!  When I went to open iPhotos I got the message "The iPhone Library is locked, on a locked disc, or you do not have permission to make a change to it."  No matter what I tried I couldn't get into it, so I don't know whether I have photos any more or not.  
    As luck would have it, my extended warranty for technical help expired in June 2011!

    Locked disk issue:
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    Hi there
    I'm not sure how you wound up where you did. But you wound up in the Adobe Captivate forums. Please stand by as I move your thread to the Flash forums.

  • Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

  • Need help with iPhoto! Can't add images!

    Hello all. Just sarted using iPhoto '05 and amm trying to transfer photos from my camera and a CDR from a windows PC. It says:
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
    Now, i've been doing some research on this topic, and i have NOT tampered with the iphoto folder in the finder, nor have i really done anything at all with iphoto. I don't know how to rebuild or back up my files.
    However, now that I think of it, I may have (when transferring my pictures from my old iBook to this iMac), just put the folder in the finder rather than put it in iPhoto. So i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. If it does what's the solution to THAT?

    <table><tr><td align=left bgcolor="#FFFFCC"> (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data</td></tr></table>
    Where are the files located that are giving you this notice? If they are inside the iPhoto Library folder then that's the reason and they must be moved out to be able to be imported.
    If you are trying to copy them directly from the CD into iPhoto you may have to copy them to the Desktop first, confirm that you have read and write permissions before importing into iDVD.

  • Need help with iPhoto, Need help with iPhoto

    Hey there!!!
    When I plug in my iPhone I go to iPhoto and can choose to import the pictures. I also tried Image Capture as it seemed easier to organise my pictures, making folders, sub-folders, etc. The problem with this is everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer click on Import the system automatically makes second, third, fourth, etc copies of each picture. This also means that there is a copy of my pictures on iPhoto and on Image Capture - which I do not really need.
    I have tried to make Albums and Folders on iPhoto. Sometimes when I delete a picture as it has been saved in two albums it gets deleted from both albums. Why is this? How can I make Albums or Folders to organise my pictures. If my pictures are transferred directly onto iPhoto, can I find them anywhere else in my computer? If I wanted to burn pictures from various albums on a disc how could I do that on iPhoto? Also I dont want events to create themselves. How can I avoid this?
    I would like help with either using iPhoto or know how the stop the duplicating of pictures on Image Capture.
    Maybe there is a better way I can transfer the pictures onto my MacBook??
    Thanks a mil!!!

    Are you running a "referenced" or "managed' library?
    Image Capture does not store phortos in it. It's an application for uploading photos to wherever you tell it to, either a folder on the hard drive or into iPhoto. If you want to use only Image Capture to upload your photos to iPhoto then set iPhoto's General preferences to the following:
    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

  • Need help with iphoto and dragging to external hard drive

    Hello,
    I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders.  I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive.  The apple store rep said to go to Finder, Pictures, Iphoto, then right click to "Show Package Contents."  Then go to either "original" or "modified." From there I can drag into the hard drive.  However, I'm very confused because the "modified" or "original" are not organized at all by folders or events.  There are dates only.  What can I do to find, drag the events (each are named)?  Please help!
    Katie

    1. Ignore the Apple store rep.
    2. You need to clarify:
    I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders
    Moved them to be where in folder? In iPhoto? In the FInder?
    I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive.
    In an iPhoto Library? Or in the Finder?
    Do not access the Library via the Finder or any other app. You risk damaging your Library and you will lose data.
    If you want to have some Events/Albums on an External Disk within iPhoto:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
    If you want to have them in Folders in the Finder
    Use the FIle > Export command to get photos out of iPhoto.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • Need help with iPhoto '08-Photoshop CS3 Workflow

    I'm relatively new to both iPhoto and Photoshop. I have already imported over 3,500 high resolution jpegs into iPhoto from my camera. I've set up iPhoto so that Photoshop is my editing program. I've read that one wants to avoid saving additional jpeg files from original jpeg files. I want to retain my original file, create an optimized (edited) version (in TIFF or PSD format) that can be edited further later if I desire, and create a lower resolution image for web/powerpoint presentations. I want all of these files to retain assigned keywords for cataloging purposes.
    What I'm discovering is that iPhoto files opened in Photoshop and saved outside of iPhoto lose keyword information. I realize I can re-import these into Photoshop but I'd like to avoid having to reassign keywords. Is this possible?
    Does anyone have a suggested workflow to accomplish the above?

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    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.
    I've written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I need help with iPhoto 9

    Hi there,
    I am hoping to get some help with my iPhoto. I recently updated to lion, and then, realizing that photostream required iphoto '11, updated that too. I downloaded it from the app store, and installed it. I did not check to make sure my iphoto was up to date before installing, though i updated to lion just days before and everything was up to date after that.
    So I downloaded it, installed it and clicked the upgrade button. The upgrade bar finished it's load and then closed and my iphoto side bar loaded. But the circular load icon continued circiling overnight! So I quit and tried to reload. I have tried deleting the .pst file, repairing the permissions, deleting the program and re-installing it. I CANNOT get it to worrkkk! I can't tell if I just need to let it sit longer or if the new iPhoto broke my computer!
    I know lots of people have had issues with the new iPhoto, and I have tried all the suggestions I could find. I should mention that it is version 9.2 and my lion is up to date.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks!
    Danielle

    IIII figured it out....
    I had old "projects" - photobooks, cards etc. that were for some reason blocking me.
    I followed this, which i found on another apple forum.
    Hope this helps whoever else is out there... clearly this is an issue for more than a few people... I hope apple is aware of this...
    i followed these steps:
    Go to the library file on disk, right-click it and select "Show Package Contents." Then locate and remove the following items:
    InterruptedUpdate
    ThemeCache
    ProjectDBVersion.plist
    Projects.db
    Projects.db-journal
    then:
    i repaired permissions in disk utility.
    then:
    go to the /username/Library/Preferences/ folder and remove the file "com.apple.iPhoto.plist."
    Then relaunch iPhoto.
    It worked for me.

  • I need help with ISIGHT!  I can't get it to work with MSN!

    HI,
    My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
    My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
    I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
    ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
    Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
    THANK YOU

    Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
    I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
    aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
    The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

  • Need help with first applescript@Quicktime- can't figure out a few lines...

    Ok guys I need help, here is what I want to happen. I want the script to just shorten a movie file. It should be so simple!!
    lengthofmovie = film length
    set time range from 0 to (lengthofmovie-1)
    save the movie as a new file
    That is all I want done, I am ripping my hair out of my head trying to do this. Please help me!!
    Here is my code so far:
    with timeout of 86400 seconds
    display dialog "Before beginning batch processing, make sure QuickTime Player is set to the desired export settings, and all videos to be processed are in a folder named ‘Input’ on the desktop." with icon note

    end tell
    set user to do shell script "whoami"
    set inputfoldername to "Input"
    set input_folder to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:" & inputfoldername & ":"
    set user_desktop to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:"

    activate
    open the_file
    //change timeline, trim NEED HELP HERE
    export front document to output_file as MPEG4 using most recent settings with replacing

    end tell
    end repeat
    on error
    display dialog "This script requires a folder named ‘" & inputfoldername & "‘ located on the desktop." with icon stop
    end try
    beep
    end timeout

    Hi plashd,
    First, I must confess that I don't know much about QuickTime. Nevertheless, while trying to understand your problem, I discovered that the AppleScript dictionaries of QuickTime Player and QuickTime 7 were very different from one another, and was unable to use the “export” command of QuickTime Player. However, I finally was able, with the following script, to use AppleScript to shorten a QuickTime movie and save it under another name:
    *set the_file to POSIX file "/Users/pierre/Desktop/MVI_0503.MOV"*
    *set output_file to "/Users/pierre/Desktop/NewMVI0503.MOV"*
    *tell application "QuickTime Player"*
    activate
    *open the_file*
    *tell front document*
    *trim from 1 to (duration - 5)*
    *save in output_file with replacing*
    *close without saving*
    *end tell*
    *end tell*
    Hope it can help.

    You will need to try and repair the drive with Disk Warrior. Otherwise, the only option is to reformat the drive. Note that DW may not be successful in fixing all the errors, and you may end up having to reformat anyway.
    It may be possible to fix the problem manually, but it's quite involved. Here's the info:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25770
    Manually fix Overlapped Extent Allocation Errors without Disk Warrior
    Overlapped overlapped extent allocation errors can be the bane of any Mac user's existence. Often, these errors go unnoticed until the problem becomes visible: your Mac might refuse to boot, crash unexpected, or worse, critical data might disappear from the Finder. Disk Utility can detect, but not fix overlapped extent allocation errors, and certain third-party utilities, such as Alsoft Diskwarrior, can fix them, but generally without reporting the consequences.
    Overlapped extent allocation error occur when the file system thinks that two files are occupying the same area on the hard disk, hence overlapping on the same "inode," which is the structure which holds the location of the data blocks the file occupies, and also file permissions and flags.
    Clearing the "overlapped" or "overallocated" extent allocation essentially means that you'll have to lose some data, because the only way to remove the overlap is to delete the file that's occupying the inode. So, if you suspect, or find out, that the guilty file is a critical system file that resides in one of the hidden system directories such as /etc /var /usr/ or visible system directories such as /System or /Library, and you don't want to reinstall the whole OS (which might not fix the overlapped extent allocation anyway), it's good to have another disk available to copy the files back to your original disk if necessary: a second bootable hard drive or a firewire drive connected to your Mac when you remove the misbehaving file. Just make sure that when you copy the file back to your boot disk that the permissions are correct, so it's best to use the "ditto" command, so that all sticky bits, flags, and permissions are preserved.
    In case you didn't know, you don't have to boot from an install CD in order to check for overlapped extent allocations. All you need to do is restart your Mac, while holding down command + S to boot in "single-user mode."
    At the command prompt that appears, type:
    $ fsck -fy
    If you have an overlapped extent allocation, you'll see:
    "Overlapped Extent Allocation" (File 123456d)
    No matter how many times you run fsck -fy, you'll never be rid of the error.
    So, simply issue the following command:
    find / -inum 123456 -print
    Note the "d" was dropped, or any extra letter that appears after the inode number.
    The find will return a file name that matches with the inode number, and the path to that file. If you remove the file then the fsck will not return this error next time you run it.
    However, before you can delete the file(s) in single-user mode, you'll need to mount the file system. Type:
    $ mount -uw /
    When done, issue the "sync" command, and that will flush the write cache so that all pending writes are written from memory to the disk. Also, since most OS X 10.3 Macs use the HFS+ Journaled file system, it might be a good idea to disable the journal before booting into single-user mode by typing:
    $ sudo diskutil disableJournal /
    then re-enable it when done fixing the overlapped extents and rebooting normally:
    $ sudo diskutil enableJournal /
