I photo doesn't work

My mac air i photo quit working. The message says its damaged or incomplete. What should i do? I'm in canada.

Apply 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 - apply 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.

Copy "New Photos" doesn't work in import dialog

Hello,
I am a new lightroom user on Lightroom 4.2. When I import pictures from my SD Card I usually leave copies on the card for a while so I have them as backup, and to also be able to see recent pics on my camera. However each time I go to import pictures from that card within LR, it defaults to selecting all pics on my SD card even though I have the "New Photos" filter selected at the top of the import box.   It always puts all my photos in the "New Photos" section, so I have to deselect all the photos that I have already imported into my catalogue so I don't get duplicates. How do I get LR to only import pics that haven't been imported bfore?
I am aware of the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" option, but that is not the samea as what I am looking for.   It only deselects photos that still exist in my catalogue.   Any photos that I have deleted from my catalogue remain selected in the import box as it doesn't see any duplicates.
Any suggestions to what I'm missing to have LR only select photos that haven't been previously imported from that card?

Thanks Jim & Frans, let me clarify what I am currently experiencing with these 2 functions:
The "new photos" check box does not impact the number of photos selected for import, regardless if they are still in my catalogue or not. So, even though my card has a mixture of pictures that have been previously imported and not imported, LR selects all the photos on the card for importing.   Checking or unchecking the "new photos" box, does not change the number of pictures selected for import.   I was hoping that selecting the "new photos" box would deselect any photots that have been previoulsy imported, but that is not the case, there is no change in the number of photos selected.
The "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" works as I expect it would. When I check this box LR deselects any photos that still exist in my library. While this works as expected, it doesn't serve what I would I am trying to acheive. It is not very often that I would want to re-import photos that I have deleted from my library.   I likely deleted them because I don't want them anymore.
To summarize, here is what I would "expect" to happen, just not sure if it is "supposed" to happen:
Checking "New Photos" should deselect any pictures that have been previously imported to LR, regardless if they are still in the library.
Checking "Don't Import Duplicates" should deselct any pictures that still exist in the library.
If that's not the case, then perhaps someone could explain the purpse of the "new photos" check box.
Thanks

Importing black & white raw photos doesn't work from a Canon Rebel XT

I have a Canon rebel XT digital SLR camera. I usually take pictures in RAW format and they import fine to iphoto but recently I decided to change the settings on the the camera to take in black and white.
When I import these RAW (cr2) black and white photos they come out in color.
When I take the picture and view it in the camera's lcd, they show in b&w
when I connect it to iphoto, and iphoto displays what is about to import, they show in b&w but once in the library they show in color!?!
I've looked through the forums and I can't find any threads with this problem, any help will be appreciated.
thank you

Terrence's guess is correct. By definition, there is no such thing as a "B&W" Raw photo. All the data from the Bayer-matrixed sensor is there. (The Bayer Matrix has 50% green pixels, 25% red pixels and 25% blue pixels.)
If you set "B&W" on the RAW file the software simply sets a flag. When you view it in-camera the DIGIC chip reads that flag and converts the file to B&W.
iPhoto (Aperture works the same way!) either does not understand or ignores this flag and presents you with a color image. You are free to convert it to B&W if you want.
Indeed, since there are limitless ways to conver the RAW sensor data to B&W, it is possible that you would not like the way that iPhoto converts to B&W compared to the Canon DIGIC method.
If you really like the way that Canon converts to B&W, you will have to shoot JPEG, or use the software Canon supplied that should use the same algorithms to donvert to B&W and may honor the B&W flag.

Shuffling Photos doesn't work

When I downloaded iOS 7, I noticed a feature that wasn't working right after I updated. I go to settings and I turn on the "Shuffle" feature when I play my slideshows, however once I start up a slideshow in the Photos app, the slideshow plays in order and does not randomize the photos. Is this a bug that needs to be worked out or am I missing something here?
I also tried it by turning Shuffle off, but as expected, it still did not work. Is there a fix or is there going to be a fix for this?

Sean,
As long as Gmail is set up as a mail account on your iPhone, you should be able to send a picture from it. You can follow the steps in this article for more information on sending photos from your iPhone:

Hope this helps,

Storage for photos doesn't work

Photo storage kept telling me I was out of memory on my phone so I purchased more. The phone will barely let me store 60 photos even after I purchased the extra. Storage.
Thanks

You can't buy extra storage for you phone. If you purchased extra iCloud storage that will not increase the capacity of your phone. To create more free space on your phone you'll have to delete something on it now.

Controls of photos doesn't work. why?

Photo controls would only let me set up one album. Now no controls availible. How do I fix it? reinstall OS?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Reveal in Finder, doesn't work anymore

Using iMac 27" 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
Since I have upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.1 and 9.4.2, using menu «Reveal in Finder» (original or modified photo) doesn't work anymore.
This menu was working fine beforehand.
Could it be related with the last upgraded version of Java (version 7, upgrade 9) ?
Thanks for your advices.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work. Can you help?

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. Can someone help? I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work. This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard. Do you have any solutions or tips?

I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system. I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work. This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked. What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group. I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work. Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os. So how do we fix this? I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users.
Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening?

Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

How can I upload a video from my PC through I tunes to camera roll on my iPhone? Is there an app or format of specific video supported? Sync from photos include video doesn't work for me.

Adobe Photo Downloader doesn't work for me

I've installed the trial version of Lightroom. It installed the photo downloader, which would be fine, except that it doesn't do anything - it never pops up when I insert a card. If I explicitly select "Launch" from its menu, nothing happens. I can't get Lightroom to automatically detect a card insert at all, even the option to pop up the import dialog doesn't work.
What's worse, is that I also have Elements 3 installed, and this new version of downloader seems to have replaced the one that comes with Elements, so now I have no auto-downloading at all.
I've tried running apdproxy.exe from the command line after killing the running one, but it doesn't print any useful diagnostics. There's nothing in the event log either. Can anyone help me diagnose this?
Thanks!

That happened to me until I did an Import in LR, then the auto-load worked every time after that.

Take it up with the app developer first. If they won't respond then you can take it up with iTunes support.

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

That is a hardware issue. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you want to DIY - iPod Repair Tutorials

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.
