Import picture issues - Half Black or all black

Hi everyone,
I have issues with Iphoto. I am not able to import any picture through iphoto... When I import all or any pictures, they are half-black or all black. In order to be sure to isolate the issue, I used others SD cards, card readers, etc. The issue is with iphoto, because I can import all my pictures without issues with Lightroom (so the issues are not the sd card, files corrupted, etc.).
Prior to post my questions, I reinstalled iphoto, rebuild my library library, scanned my disks, etc. are nothing is working with iphoto... So I need your help...
I have an imac early 2009 with all updated software and Yosemite... Any ideas??
Many thanks

. The issue is with iphoto, because I can import all my pictures without issues with Lightroom (so the issues are not the sd card, files corrupted, etc.).
Lightroom is using Adobe's RAW support, and not the native MacOS X RAW support.
You may want to test from a different user account - for example the Guest User - this will tell you, if there is a system wide problem and reinstalling the RAW support is really necessary in your case.
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the Yosemite upgrade try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/Coreservices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/Coreservices" into the text field.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the field back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.07 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1757
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

Forms Central: How can I overlay a textfield over an imported picture?

How can I overlay a textfield over an imported picture?

Apologies, been trying all afternoon and then a couple of minutes after posting, I figured it out. Using a property node for the Scenemesh reference, I set the property TextureGenMode to Spherical and it appears to now display the texture on the mesh.

Iphoto crashes upon importing pictures

I was importing pictures and the iphoto crashed all my events are not showing i have a spinning wheel that is white while iphoto is open. My version of iphoto 11 is 9.4.3. i have the new version of Maverick but when iphoto crasged i did not have newer version.
I have tried restarting as well as command and option key held down while opening iphot to try and rebuild and repair but nothing happens to try and have my photos comes back it only prompts to connect camera or drag photos into iphot etc.
please help
thank you

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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 tried exporting my project numerous times, but the first half of my exported movie is all black, with the sound. Can I get some help?

Hi.
So I decided to a class project, and found this supposedly great app.
I imported all the pictures, recorded the voices, and inserted the soundtrack via iMovie.
Then, once I clicked export and looked at the result, the first half of the product was just all black, with the sound
About a minute within the project (2 minutes total), than the images start appearing.
So basically, in the final product, the first half of my inserted pictures are all just gone, and is replaced with a black screen.
Did anybody else encounter this issue?
Need Help!
Thanks!
(the app is updated to the latest as well)

I'm fairly certain this is a Lion issue, but I'll post in the MacBook forum as well.
here's that post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766275#17766275
In that one I suggested updating to OS X 10.7.3. It fixes a lot of problems, admittedly none of yours specifically.
I understand your frustration but you should decide upon one thread or another. Since this one has more interest I suggest you stick with this one. Tracking two of them will only add to your headaches.

Scanning and Copying result in all black and lines. (with link to the scanned picture)

Whatever I try to scan and copy, even blank, the result is the same all black and full of lines.
Here is the link to the scanned picture. Copying also makes the same picture. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yaprfywbpf7cq70/scan0002.jpg?dl=0
The printer hasn't been used in a while, I just used it recently and the ink even dried out. Bought ink and printer's working fine.

Imported pictures are black

I imported pictures into iPhoto and they are showing up as black rectangles. Yet when I doubleclick them to view them in editor the details of the pictures show up. Does anybody know why they show up as black rectangles, initially?? Are the smaller pictures the thumbnails? I don't want black thumbnails and would like to fix them so that they appear with picture details.

You will have to do it outside of the library so export the all out of the library as original files. Then download and unzip this Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile and drop all of the photos onto it to batch process them. Import after completed.
You can download the app from Toad's Cellar

Import picture black box

All,
I have created a custom X-Control for my application. As a part of the control, I need to use a *.png image for the background. I created the image to line-up with the XControl indicators. However, when I import the picture (using "Edit" >> "Import Picture to Clipboard..." followed by "Edit" >> "Paste"), Labview puts these incredibly annoying black bars on the left and bottom edges of the imported image. This gives the imported image a 3-D effect, which is undesireable in my application.
See attached screenshot for example. Is there any way to import the image without the ridiculous black bars? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Mark

Yes, good catch, such a 'bar' means that you have a floating element, it should be gone when you change your VI/XControl to run mode.
By moving the picture 'into' the page you embedded it and there was not a floating element.

IPhote don't show pictures after upload from iPhone, they turned all black

After uploaden all the pictures from my iPhone to my Mac the pictures turned all black in iPhoto.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

So i was merging pictures together in events and all of the sudden I had several come up with no pictures just the image number when I click on the picture which is bland a black exclmation point shows up. Have I lost my pictures for good?

So I was merging pictures in the events and all of the sudden several went black and when i clicked on the photos they were gone and when I click on the blank picture with an image number under it an exclamation point show up. Have i lot these pictures for forever?

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

Ae cs5 importing seq images all blacked out or only one frame - help

I created a pan background and keyframed it and it is working fine. I then brought in pngs with transparent background as a seq and the image is all black when they imported into ae cs5 once one image was brought in correctly (the first image of the seq). I have batch converted to psds with same results. What am I doing worng importing in seq to work over the pan background?
And I have tried PSD image sequence file - it only brings in one frame.

I just did some tests. If you export the png's using the save for web and other devices and png 24 then things work fine with grayscale images. If you save grayscale images as png's directly then the png's are aparently saved as png 8's so they won't work properly in After Effects. Any pixel not completely white is rendered black.
To be honest I've never run into this before. It may be worthy of a bug report.
I'm not sure what technique you're using to remove the background from the originals but a jpg made from the original png file can be used as an Luma Inverted matte on a black solid to create the transparency. A little adjustment to the jpg sequence with levels will clean up most of the garbage. This would give you an acceptable result without resorting to a bunch of processing to try and create transparent pngs.

Imported Video is all black but audio still works

Hello,
I have a Nikon V1. Whenever I shoot video using the 1080/60i setting and upload those video clips into Final Cut Pro X, they have no video, they just appear black.The audio works but there is a weird background noise that shouldnt be there. The main issue is that I can't use the video because it is all black.
Please Help. Thanks,
Geoff

Imported video all black?

Shot test footage on my Sanyo Xacti VPC-FH1. Importing the video produced an all black screen, but you can hear the sound. Playback on the camera is just fine.
The video is black when connecting the camera prior to the actual import, so that should tell you something. The camera shoots in H.264 format, so it is compatible right?

Thanks for that. I think reducing the quality of the camera defeats the object.
I've sorted the problem now and uninstalled it and asked for refund !
I'll stick to Imovie - no problems with that.
Thanks all

I uploaded the latest X Yosemite and fond that Aperture did not work. Then I started the new Picture but are not able to upload all my pictures (app half of them) have anybody had the same issue? and can potentially advise me on how to fix it?

Thanls Ernie. I found the solution. My problem was previous to 10.10.3. It looks like the installation of final cut and uninstallation of fcp delte a plugins that was needed for Aperture. I recover from time machine my plugins in Library/frameworks/plugin.manager.framework and now Aperture works ! Ouf....

I tried to restart my iPad2 beacuse of email issues and now the screen is all black, I can't open it anymore...

My screen is all black except that white wainting sign... what should I do? Pressing down the sleep/start button doesn't change anything.

Have you tried a reset: hold the sleep/power button and home button, ignore the slider, and let it restart.
Have you tried connecting to iTunes and see if it recognizes and can reset, not retore unless all else fails.
