I uploaded photos from my flash drive but whenever i click a photo, it is a completely different photo that the thumbnail.

iphoto

Then try, if rebuilding the thumbnails will help.  What is your iPhoto version? In iPhoto 9.5.1 do the following:
Launch iPhoto with the key combination⌥⌘  (alt/option-command) held down.
Keep holding down both the keys, until the "Library First Aid" panel opens.
Select "Rebuild thumbnails" from the panel. and let iPhoto recreate the thumbnails.
If you don't have a current backup of your iPhoto library, make a new backup before you try the first aid options.

  • When I download photos from a flash drive,everything is fine and they show in Events and Pictures, but when I click on the individual pic I get an error message saying that it cannot locate the JPG. Any thoughts?

    It sounds like your iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to not copy photos during import, i.e. a Referenced library:
    Check your Advanced preferences to see if that's the case. If it is the best solution would be to select the checkbox to copy the photos and reimport the photos from the flash drive.  Then check the new import. It it was OK you can delete the previous event with the "missing" photos.

    My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my computer and load them in my LR. The photos appear but witthout any editing or tagging. We need to be able to have her working on the photos on her computer with her copy of LR and me on my computer with my version of LR being able to access what is already tagged and given back to me. This seems hard. We need advice on if it is at all possible to have two computers simultaneously working on LR . I bought her her own version because I was told at the time of purchasing that that was the only way to share. Please advise urgently! Thanks.

    Sounds like your assistant isn't instructing Lightroom to write the tagging and editing to the files themselves, so wehn the files return to you, they don't have editing and tagging information. She need to select the photos in Lightroom and then Ctrl-S (Cmd-S on Mac). Or alternatively turn on the option to autmoatically write this information to the files.
    If you are using RAW photos, then this information will be written to a sidecar XMP file, and your assistant must provide you with the sidecar file. If these photos are not RAW photos, then the information is written directly into the photo file itself.
    Lightroom wasn't designed to be a multi-user program, and so it is truly not possible to have two people working on the same catalog at once. The way you are doing things, as modified above, is probably the way to go.
    As an alternative, you can transfer (portions of) catalogs as well as photos back and forth and then all of these issues disappear, but a catalog might be rather large for a flash drive (or maybe not, it depends)

  • How do I transfer photos from one flash drive to another?

    I downloaded  original photos to several flash drives before I had enhanced them. I realized I needed to do that before I gave them to my family.
    In Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 I fixed the photos and now I want to put them on the same flash drives without distroying the originals. I would appreciate knowing how to transfer the new photos to the flash drives without replacing the originals.

    You should really have left them in My Pictures. If you use Explorer to drag files you corrupt the file paths in Organizer and end up with missing files.
    It would be best to get the originals from your family and put them and the edits back into My Pictures.
    You can then make duplicates for your family using my method above.
      Edit - if dragging directly to the flash drive made duplicates then you should still have all the photos in My Pictures

    just import the iPhoto
    Surely you meant "just import the photo"?  The Spell checker is dangerously creative !

  • Loading photos from a flash drive into my Catalog

    I am a "neophyte" Photoshop Elements 10 user.  I installed over 14,000 original digital photos from CDs and DVDs into my Catalog without any problems.  My wife copied some very old (scanned) family photos (black & white, pre-1930) onto a flash drive and I then downloaded them into the Catalog - seemingly without any problems.  However... The photos are shown in the Catalog and accessible in the Organizer, but all of them are identified by a ! icon (upper left-hand corner of each photo)  as being "offline" and still resident on the flash (E:) drive.  Therefore, they can not be edited.  I've tried 2x to reformat and reload the photos onto several other flash drives and then download them into the Catalog without any success.  They still are identified as being resident on the flash drive, only.  Does anyone know what's going on and/or how to fix it?  Thanks for any help can give.
    Elements "newby"

    Ken,
    Thanks for educating me on how the Catalog actually works.  However, I still don't understand how I could seamlessly load all of the other 14,000 photos into my computer from CDs and DVDs, but none from a flash drive.  All of the photos I loaded came from Kodak Easyshare and Windows files located on another computer.  I look at all of these removable media types as a viable means for transferring files from one computer to another.  Why were the photos on the flash drive treated differently that that located on the CDs or DVDs when imported into the computer containing the Photoshop Elements program?
    Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

  • How do i extract photos from a flash drive

    I just recently switched from Windows to Mac, and haven't taken a class on how to fully use my computer yet. But I do have a flash drive that I put all of my photos on from my windows computer, and I would like to know after I plug in my flash drive, where do I go to extract the files to move them onto my new Mac computer, thank you in advance.

    Hi oneldr71,
    Welcome to us!
    when you plug in your flash drive (USB?) it will appear as a white hard drive on your desktop. Double click it and you will see the contents.
    If you have a folder with all your photos, you could import them into iPhoto:
    - either you drag the photo folder onto the iPhoto icon (camera with yellow palm three photo).
    - or start iPhoto first and "Import to library..." in the file menu.
    hope that helps!

  • How do I move back photos from an external drive (but iPhoto library on Mac hd) to the Mac HD without reimporting all images again in iPhoto?

    The following scenario:
    Mac HD: iPhoto Libary
    External HD: all photos which are shown in iPhoto
    now I want to copy back the photos from the external HD to the mac hd and I want iPhoto to know the new location of all these photos (couple of 10 thounsands)
    How do I do that without reimporting all images again into iPhoto
    Thanks

    do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or referenced library (you have unchecked that option)
    What version of iPhoto?
    Do you have Aperature 3.3?

  • Help moved copied pictures to trash from my flash drive but some were put in trash and they are not in the trash?  Help

    I was moving some of pictures from my compact Flash card and move to trash. Of course I did not double save them to another drive......:(   I realized that I did not copy everything so I went to recover them in the trash but none of the pictures I sent to the trash were there?  Help?  Is there somewhere I can retrieve them if I can not see them in the trash can.  Oh I did not empty the trash.

    You can't actually retrieve files once they are deleted by looking for hidden files.  Yes the data isn't (immediately) overwritten (unless you do a secure erase), but the directory entry is removed.   Something like Data Rescue might be able to find and retrieve the data.  But no guarantees.  There are no hidden files representing the deleted data.

  • How to boot from USB flash drive - Portege R500

    Hi,
    I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, brought about 2 years ago, and recently contracted a worm virus that has infected some of the start up files as the minute I log in it logs out again, even in safe mode! Quickest way I can think of sorting it is to reformat it with the XP recovery disc and reinstall windows.
    Problem!! The CD/DVD drive on the laptop stopped working a while ago, have tried pretty much everything in the thread on this site but had no luck.
    So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it that way. However in the boot settings I only have the options of HDD / FDD / CD-ROM / LAN, neither of these will work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?
    Any help would be really appreciated

    Hi
    As far as I know it should be possible to boot from USB FDD
    Im not sure if you would be able to boot from USB flash drive but its definitely worth a try
    Generally you could try to press F12 button when notebook powers up.
    Then a boot menu should appear on the display and you should see all bootable devices.
    PS: As far as I know the USB booting was available in ToshibaHWSetup (Toshiba tool which changes the BIOS settings in windows OS.) Therefore I assume booting from USB should be possible.

  • Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc

    Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc. help!

    I would like to offer you some additional hair, but I've pulled mine out as well.  I have created a slideshow of my daughter's new house (a very nice place indeed) as a house-warming gift, took all the pix myself with a throw-away camera made into CD's, imported all of the photos, cropped and enhanced with Iaza online free photo editor, re-saved the new ones to a folder, imported the selected ones into iPhoto, had the best thematic photo printed in 8x10 format, bought the black DVD's, made the MPEG-4 movie as well as the suggested exportable to iPhone, created a folder with the slides, crafted a nice playlist in iTunes, merged it all in iPhoto, but cannot successfuly export it into iDVD. The technical documentation and writing for some of this stuff is sloppy and sometimes unintelligible. The instructional videos are incomplete. The One-on-One fellow was most helpful the other day and said Apple doesn't really have or support an functional DVD creation tool and suggested I choose one or another "app" at the "app store", but the reviews for the two major ones are shallow in depth and I haven't yet sprunf for the $20-$40 download so I can re-experience the difficult learning curve. The Macintoshs I once used were incredibly intuitive; the iMac requires some study. The slideshow I have is imperfect becauae it keeps reverting to custom slide-specific choices I have decided (several times) that I do not want, but it keeps slipping back into "Ken Burns" mode and some of the photos don't work in that mode because of their format. But I will settle for less-than-perfect if I can figure out the best way to export the MPEG-4 I have created into a Maxell DVD-R some time before my daughter's toddlers aged 4 and 2 get into kindergarten.
