IDVD - Wrong photos selected

Has anyone else ran into an issue with the new iDVD that displays the incorrect photo inside of a sideshow? The picture is correct in iPhoto and the media preview screen but when I drag it into the iDVD slideshow, it displays the wrong photo.
The new version seems to be extremely buggy. I tried to create an iDVD project of several slideshows and found what appears to be a lot of defects. I should have created the slideshows in iPhoto and imported them into iDVD.
Anyone seeing the same issues?

Just to show a reaction and answer your question - No, I havn't experienced this issue. So all I can suggest are some standards ...
... deleted the plist-file
... what about drag'n'drop the pics directly from iPhoto into iDVD?
... reinstall iDVD

Thumbnail shows wrong photo

Hi, there!
I have 5000 pix in my iPhoto 4 library and have been having trouble with the thumbnails showing the wrong photo. I noticed this first when a thumbnail was very horizontally compressed. . .and when double clicking onto it (to go from "organize" to "edit") it showed a different photo. The title is right and the photo is correct in edit mode, the thumbnail is just wrong. I think maybe a third of my library is currently affected.
I saw that someone posted a similar question a few months ago, and the only answer suggested was to select all the wrong photos and "revert to original" in the photos menu. I can't do this, b/c that option is grayed.
What I've been doing to correct the problem is dragging the photo to my desktop, then when I re-import it, it comes in with the correct thumbnail. (then, I delete the one with the wrong thumbnail.) A tedious way to do it, plus I'm losing some of my info, like the date the photo was shot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Start iPhoto while holding the optioncommandshift keys until you're prompted about rebuilding the iPhoto library database. Click "yes", then the blue button. Go have a pizza while your library is rebuilt.

Develop mode says 'no photo selected', so I can't edit anything.

After importing photos into LR4 I select one and hit the develop button and then the screen shows 'no photo selected.' So I can't edit anything. The ruler where images usually are in develop mode, below the main image window doesn't show any images either. I found that if I select an image in 'library' mode then click on 'book' mode and back to 'develop' mode, then the image appears and allows me to edit it. I don't get it. Is there are different way to access photos, am I doing something wrong?

You should be able to select a photo in Library and go straight to Develop. Anything else isn't normal behaviour. Don't have a straight answer as to why it would be otherwise. Are you rendering previews on Import? Is the drive fast?

Lightroom shows "no photo selected" after editing jpg in Photoshop

I am running Lightroom 5.3 and Photoshop 14.2.1x64 on Windows 7, 64-bit, 16gb RAM, plenty of free disk space (90gb on drive C). I am in Lightroom and have selected a subset of the library (using a key word clicking on the keyword's "right arrow" next to its count in the key word list). I then view a photo in the loupe view and right click, selecting "Edit in Photoshop CC" and checking "Edit a Copy". This takes me to Photoshop, where I edit the photo and save both as a .psd file and re-save the jpg copy, overwriting the copy that Lightroom made. When I go back to Lightroom (by reactivating the window), the copy flashes momentarily and then disappears from the window, replaced by the message "no photo selected" in the loupe view. When I go back to grid mode, I am back to the first photo in the selected group of photos and I then have to scroll through and find the photo I just edited (the jpg copy is still in Lightroom).
This problem did not occur when I first installed and used Lightroom. Rather, Lightroom would continue to display the edited jpg photo in loupe view when I returned to Lightroom from Photoshop. Now, however, it never does. Is there some Lightroom setting I accidentally changed? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

I'm using ProPhoto RGB in Photoshop. I have a test file that shows this issue: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84023411/shadows_test.psd
This is a 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image with just 2 colors. The top part of the image is filled with RGB 10,10,10 and the bottom half is 0,0,0. If I open this file in Photoshop and use Apple's DigitalColor Meter utility to read the displayed values of the color of the top, using "Display native values", the result is 18,18,18. I expect it to be different than 10,10,10 due to the display profile but I would expect the same image viewed in Lightroom's Develop module to also read as 18,18,18 in the top half. But when I do this (import the PSD into Lightroom and open in Develop) the Meter reads 12,12,12. If I view the PSD in Loupe mode in Lightroom the Meter reads as expected, 18,18,18.
The difference should also be noticeable to your eye (at least mine) without using any measurements.
The result is that the dark shadows appear crushed when editing in Lightroom Develop mode.
The problem happens on both my 2008 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU and on my 2013 MacBook Air, although the values read on the Air are different than the Pro due to display profiles.
Normally, of course, I'm editing a RAW file in Lightroom and open that up in Photoshop (cmd+e), but this test seems to show that it happens with non-RAW files.

Wrong photo gets flagged

I have a weird problem with the wrong photo(s) often getting flagged for rejection in the Ligthroom3 Beta. Here's one way to make it happen:
1. In grid view select a number of photos, say 6
2. Switch to survey view
3. Flag all but 2 for rejection and click the little X box in the bottom right corner of the images to deselect them
4. Switch to Compare mode to compare the final 2 images. For this example, let's say images #3 and #6 are still unflagged and selected
5. Flag one of the images for rejection. Let's say you flag image #3.
6. Switch back to grid view
I would expect that photo #6 would not be flagged, and the rest would be flagged. Instead, all but image #3 are flagged.
I've also had the wrong photo get flagged when I still had multiple images in survey view, but I'm not sure what sequence of operations produces that behavior.
Is there something wrong with the way I'm trying to use flags?

No photo selected

For some reason my lightroom catalogue has lost most of my photos - it says "no photo selected" and shows up 0 in all the folders on the right hand side. Even if I load my backups of this catalogue, when the photos were definitely present, the photos are still missing. HELP!!!

You seem to have accidentally opened the wrong catalog.
Try File->Open Recent, see if any of the catalogs listed there has your photos. If not, search your hard disk for any files whose name ends with .LRCAT, and open each one by double-clicking on it until you find the catalog that has your photos.

IMovie projects displaying wrong photos

After upgrading to iMovie 09, my old projects that were "in the works" now display the wrong photos. When I preview the movie, it has the right photos. I don't understand. Even the movies that were finished and put into iDVD now show the wrong photos in the Project window.

I am having the exact same problem. I can't seem to find a workaround, even duplicating the project file gave me the same issue. My best solution is you can make a separate project, drag the photos you want to show into there (with any transitions or effects you want) and then export that project as a separate QuickTime file. Then reimport that newly created movie and it will work because iMovie is reading your "photos" as a movie file now. I did this and it worked for me, even though I admit it's a pain. But at least I didn't have to start my project all over again. Good luck!

When i try to print a photo: select file print a box comes up stating ' no available themes' ' there were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable. ? My iPhoto and hp printer software is up to date.

YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

Syncing Wrong Photos/Pictures

I have an iPhone 3GS with FW 3.1.3 and Windows XP operating system and everytime I try and sync lately, I get the wrong photos/pictures that come up with podcasts and videos.
I have 2 videos on my iPhone and in iTunes it shows the correct picture under TV shows, I also have 30 podcasts from the same source and the photo shown under podcasts in iTunes is correct but when I sync, 20 of them have album art from somewhere else. I have tried numerous syncs, have tried to uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall it but it never seems to work properly.
I also have a movie that the same problem occurs to when I sync.
Any suggestions, thank you very much.

I have had the same problem with my 3GS and Windows 7. The wrong cover art sync happens haphazardly and changes.

When making a book, one of my photos selected appears only on the flap, how can I get it to be in the book also?

1. When making a book using Iphoto, one of my photos selected appears only on the back flap, how can I get it to be in the book also? I added an extra page thinking that would help, didn't!
2. It says that you can photos anytime, can I add a photo that I did not select originally without starting completely over?
...any suggesstions for both problems would be appreciated. Thanks

you can use a photo many time is the same book - simply drag it from the photo strip to the photo frame you want it in - even though you have used it before you can still use it again
And adding photos is easy - go to the photo (in an album, event or photo view) and drag the photo(s) to the book under keepsakes - it will now be available to use

Photo Selection Indicator

Does anyone know if a Lightroom web gallery can have a selection checkbox for each photo, so a client can communicate photo selections via a web process? I'm looking for an efficient way to sort through a large library (several thousand photos) and reduce it to just the photos my client wants to keep.
If Lightroom can't do the job, is there any application that can?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give ...

Take a look at The Turning Gate:

I have not used any of their plug-ins, but they are mentioned here often and they look very good.

Does anyone elses iphoto thumbnails show the wrong photos in album ?

This is a relatively new problem i am having.... when i open an album and the zoom is over c.20% or you change the zoom the thumbnails show the wrong photo. when you open to edit, the correct photo opens. This is veeeerrrry annoying. can anyone shed any light on this ?

Hi slipstream1,
I don't know why that started happening for you.
Try this:
Close iPhoto
Navigate to where you have the iPhoto Library on your hard drive
Drag the three thumbnail files found loose in the root of the Library folder to the desktop
Hold down the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto until you get the rebuild window
Choose the options to rebuild the thumbnails
Hopefully this will fix it for you.

Aperture 3.6 wrong photo in main viewer pane

Aperture 3.6 Yosemite 10.10.1
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Aperture library 62,000+ photos. Main photos stored in directories (not in Aperture library)
Question to resolve: When I am using Aperture at time when in "Split view" or "Viewer" mode my photo selected will be of a previous photo l have looked at or just static screen( fuzzy bunch of lines).
I can correct this by restarting Aperture but the fix does not last long. The am not sure what changes the duration of the messed up viewer (cycling photos, sleep the laptop, ect.) But at times the fix might last a day or two other times only minutes. If left alone it has never fixed it self with out a restart of Aperture. I have repaired permissions and completed a library rebuild.
This condition only started with the update to Yosemite.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Problems with the UI can sometimes be resolved by removing the Preference file.
See Get help with Aperture 3 - Apple Support , scroll down until you see
Reset the user preferences
and follow the directions. Note in step 5 Restart your computer if you're using OS X Mavericks that will apply if you are running Yosemite also.

Wrong photo opens?

When I try to open a photo which is in a file folder (not iPhoto) the wrong photo opens. Instead of the one I'm trying to open, the photo next to it in the folder opens. Same thing when I drag that photo to the desktop. The one I'm dragging doesn't end up on the desktop. The one next to it does. What gives?

Hi scallywak,
Try this:
Close iPhoto
Navigate to the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder
Drag the Data folder and the three thumbnail files in the library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild screen.
Check all the thumbnail options.
Let iPhoto rebuild the library and hopefully all will be well when done.
