In iPhoto 11. 9.4.3 cropping won't work

Prior to Christmas I successfully compiled an iPhoto Book and everything was hunkydory. Yesterday, I attempted to crop a photo in the same manner as before using my one and only Trackpad, and it reduced the size of the photo onto a white background and when I attempted to adjust that smaller photo by using the corner adjusters, they moved very slightly then sprang back.  I have attempted a re-launce of iPhoto but not a new library as previously suggested. Thank you for your time.

I selected the photo.  Simultaneously pressed Command and shift z.  Shift to create a capital Z. Then I released all these and pressed crop in Quick Fixes.  This time, instead of the photo reducing in size onto a white background., it reduced in size onto a grey background, and still the cropping did not work.

  • Aperture won't work right because iphoto needs to upgrade. it still won't work, because it says to upgrade  iphoto above to a least 9.1 which i have, but it still won't work

    Please help?

    I recently installed Mountain Lion & I've aways had Iphoto 9.2.1, but now I've down loaded Iphoto 9.3.2, but it won't allow me to upgrade to to 9.3.2. It says that I need at least 9.1 which I have. I can't figure out why.
    I currently have Aperture 3.3.2

  • I want to update Iphoto but it's say it won't work with any of my old photos, anyway to get around that?

    Help! I really don't want to lose all my photos! It says to upgrade, it won't be compatible with my old photo pictures.

    No - what it says is that after you upgrade the iPhoto library you will not be able to use that iPhoto library with an older version
    Just backup and upgrade - everything will be fine and if there is a problem, which always can happen, you will have a good backup

  • How to add black bars to SIDES of image? Using 'Crop' won't work for this. I explain why.

    I have some clips that are off axis and I applied a bit of tilt to correct them. However, I now need to crop the sides giving me a 1.66:1 effect inside the 1.85:1 frame. But how/ Using CROP in Premiere Pro just crops the image off axis. Here is a screen grab...
    How can I get a nice, perfect side crop? I've searched, folks, so would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

    4 point garbage matte to crop.
    Or overlay a title with black pillars.

  • IPhoto and Apple ID won't work after system update

    I've recently updated my MacBook Air to OS X v10.9.4.  iPhoto won't work as i am currently using v9.2.  I've tried downloading a later version but have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer.  NB.  I have an iPhone but have not used the Apple ID on this - to my knowledge, or another Apple ID on my system.  I'm a basic level user so any advice on this would be great.
    Many thanks,
    Elza

    Advised how, exactly?

  • Updated to Yosemite, no problem.  now iPhoto and iMovie won't open.  Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software.  User ID and PW works everywhere else.

    I am having the same problem.  I even changed my password and updated all of my security information.  Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work.  Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00.  So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid.  Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

  • On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automaticall crops off part of each end of the image.  How can I make it stop?

    On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automatically crops off part of each end of the image.  the thumbnail has a jagged, serrated edge at both ends.  How can I make it stop?

    Then I do not get your problem - you can import the photo - you can find the photo and you can edit and save the photo - what more do you want?
    By defination thumbnails are small images to help you find the large image - the large image is fine and you can find it fine - and you know it is only showing part of the image because of the "jagged ends"
    If you think think that iPhoto should display long thumbnails suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto Feedback
    as to your digital photoframe - contact them - in general gital photos frames display one and only one aspect ratio and any photo that is not in that aspect ratio will be modified to display - either cropped to the proper size for the frame or have 'White" space added to fill the frame - that function is totally controled by the Digital Photo frame and any otptions you have will be in the manual or on the support web site for the frame - to put it in old film terms - you can not put an 8x10 print in a 5x7 frame unless you cut the photo down (or a 8x15 photo in an 8x10 frame either)

  • I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere.  Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater.  My pictures are lost in the abyss.

    I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5.  I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.

    I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater
    Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

    thank you, i have updated it but now when i open iphoto it asks what library to use.  is there a way to merge it with my old iphoto?  i backedup my pictures onto a hard drive prior to installing and deleted my pictures off of my computer.
    Frankly that is not a good idea
    What exactly dd you do? Backin up your pictures is ot the same as backing up your iPhoto library - and if you pur your iPhoto library on an external drve it must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - if you backed up your iPhoto library then siply drag it back to the picture folder and launch iPhoto
    i open iphoto it asks what library to use
    That is because you have no iPhoto library in your pictures folder
    deleted my pictures off of my computer.
    And that is why

  • Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto Questions:  Merge and Sort;  Cropping;  Collage

    Hello,
         I have some iPhoto questions:
         (1)  I have several different photos from different sources of my son's wedding.  I have merged the photos into one album and sorted them by date in iPhoto, but they are still showing all over the place.  How do I merge/sort them so that they all show in chronological/date & time order?
         (2)  I can only crop in square or rectangular shape.  Does iPhoto have a way of cropping using different shapes like heart, circle, triangle, etc?
         (3)  I cannot seem to find a way to create a collage in iPhoto where I can put 2 or more photos in one frame.  Is there a way for iPhoto to do this?
         I am not sure if these are iPhoto limitations or I need an upgrade to a version that can do all these?
    Thanks...

    As it merges the libraries iphoto library manager will ask you what you want to do with duplicates. However, remember files with different sizes are not duplicates. Also importing one library to another is not a good idea. You'll get a mess of different versions of files treated as new imports, so that's no way to merge.

  • When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, but it won't let me import my pictures. And when I want to close iPhoto it says "Photos being uploaded to iPhoto library, please wait to finish uploading," but I am not uploading anything.

    When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, however it won't upload. The "import" button, I can't click on it. It won't upload. And when I want to close out the window of iPhoto, it won't close, I get a message saying "photos being uploaded to iPhoto library," but i can't even upload. This has been like this since late April...

    What version of iPhoto?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work

    I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work. And when I go to update iphoto, it says it cant be downloaded onto my computer.

    Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

  • The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

    Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all.  It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn.  Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

    Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?
    Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
    Did you use Barbara's fix?
    It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
    HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES.  THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?
