IPad distorted pictures // iPhoto 11 landscape - exclamation

very strange
Perhaps I have 2 problems, or the one is related to the other:
1.) on my iPad 1 the pictures / photos in thumbnail view (the batch) are distorted. When I view them in full size mode, they are correct.
On my iPhone 4 the are ok.
I sync with my all new MacBook Pro with iTunes. I use iPhoto for managing the photos.
2.) because of 1), I checked the photos in iPhoto and saw, that many pictures in landscape mode, taken with my wife's iPhone 4, cannot be displayed in full size mode. I get an exclamation mark. Uff? I lost my wife's pictures :-0 In thumbnail in iPhoto they are ok. In full view I get the exclamation. In Dia-Show it is just black.
Now my setup.
I have setup iPhoto as a shared library as described in the support community by 'Terence Devlin' (many times, Easy way to share iPhoto library). I quit iPhoto, I move the library to /Users/myself/Public. Then I opened the library by each user account to set it as the default library. To sync with iTunes, I also had to change the ownership to read/write for all users (for every file and directory). Otherwise iTunes reported an error.
Now fancy. When I log in with my wife's account, all the pictures in iPhoto are ok. Uff, the photos are not lost ;-) When i quit iPhoto and log in as myself, the landscape pictures show an exclamation in full size.
In the terminal, i check again the permissions.
The library is owned by myself. The iPod Photo Cache is owned by my wife (I had to remove/rebuild it when I had some other troubles). All files and directories have rw(x) for owner, group and others. (I know, it is a bit risky, to give rw for others. But I know the mac and it's users. Or should I change some ownership?)
So I need some help.
I'm new on mac. Used windows before.

I've tried over and found a solution:
reset the permissions on the iphoto library file and its package contents
1. i did this by using Finder to open the "Get Info" dialog box on the iPhoto library file
2. myself, satff and everyone had read/write access (as previously checked in the terminal). I changed everyone (other) to only have read access. Had to wait a few seconds and then picked 'undo changes' from the gear icon.
3. guess what, I was able to see all the pictures correctly ;-)
And ?? it solved also my problem #1 with the cropped images.
really strange

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

I have iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 when I double click on some of the pictures, I see exclamation mark.

Hello,
I have iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2, when I double click on some of the pictures I see exclamation mark instead of my pictures.
Thank you
Fereydoun

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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 want to get a Nikon D3100, but my macbook has OS 10.5.5 on it and I've read that the D3100 needs at least 10.6.5. What will happen if I try to use this camera with my computer? Will iPhoto simply not recognize it or will I get distorted pictures, or..?

Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
Still very confusing. :-?
Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported. If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
See: iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.

How can I lock my camera so it saves pictures in landscape mode

How can I lock my camera so that it will take and save pictures in landscape mode. I use the iPhone 5, IOS 8.1.1.
I take pictures with the camera held horizontal and the home button to the right. When I save the pictures to my iMAC in iPhoto they need rotation.
I can't find a camera app in the Apple Apps Store.

Images not in "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library" folder not properly handled

One of the features I was grateful for in iPhoto 6 is the ability to NOT import photos into the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library" folder. This meant I could use iPhoto to view and edit photos without duplicating a folder structure I use for my photo files.
Unfortunately, I have now discovered that any program that attempts to access photos through the iPhoto API can see the previews for these images, but can not actually access the images. This means the "Desktop & Screen Saver PrefPane" can see the iPhoto previews, but fails to load an image for the Desktop (or Screen Saver). NOTE: It does appear that iMovie does see the photos properly, but other non-iLife portions of the MacOS don't.
Anyone got a fix for this? I suspect it is a bug in the iPhoto sharing API, but I am hoping someone might have a fix.

I don't think there is an API for iPhoto, or at least I cannot find it anywhere. Any integration with iPhoto is purely a hack.
If you can find documentation for an API, please let me know.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

Bug in CS3! When I tilt-crop a picture, the result is a distorted picture, why is that!?

Bug in CS3! When I tilt-crop a picture, the result is a distorted picture, why is that!? The pictuer gets squezed togeher and faces look markably thinner.

Hi again,
CS3 is a wonderful program. But behaves strange some times.
As it is now I first need to rotate the picture "ctrl+T" before the croping occure to get the portions right. I thought that if I, can, rotate the crop tool it, should, be possible to do this operation in one step. But not. Or? Okej, the operation may work in one step, but the result is horrible. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for a quick reply!

How to unload the iPad iPhone picture on the Internet?

How to unload the iPad iPhone picture on the Internet? Why does the button "Upload Photos" on the iPad iPhone is not activated?

Ah, I understand the problem, and YES , that is a problem with the iPad, since there is no true File System within the iPad, there's no way to do what you're trying (at least that I know). I've had my iPad since May 2010, and have never been able to get past that.
This is one of the areas where and iPad (or any tablet) falls short of a true laptop or other computer.
Sorry to be the one to let you know that.
Unless someone can correct me, I think you're stuck with using another system to get your files uploaded.

Desktop pictures - iPhoto-dual monitors

I did a search and noticed that this topic has been discussed before but I didn't see any solution. What I did notice is that in the System Preferences pane, if I select an (iPhoto) album from the lower portion of the left-hand panel, the "change" checkbox is grayed out. However, if I use the "desktop" button in iPhoto then a folder called "iPhoto Selection" is created in the upper portion of the left-hand panel and the "change" checkbox is functional and the images rotate on my desktop. However, this last option doesn't seem to be available for my second monitor. The folder "iPhoto Selection" does not exist in the Preference pane associated with the second monitor. I am running 10.4.4. Thanks, Bill

I was able to find a solution to this based on another thread in these forums.
When you create an "iPhoto Selection" for the desktop background a folder is created: Pictures/iPhoto Library/iPhoto Selection. This folder contains aliases to the photo files in the album you selected in iPhoto.
So, use iPhoto to create an iPhoto Selection for your first monitor, then on the second monitor's preferences rotate images from the iPhoto Selection folder. You can then go back to the first monitor and change its background (the iPhoto Selection folder remains).
Hope this helps. I never would have figured this out on my own. Apple, please fix this broken feature!

Am using Adobe acrobat for iPad and pictures are showing JPEG and not PDFs

I Am using Adobe reader for iPad and converted pictures from camera to ipad and pictures are showing JPEG and not pdf

Hi bsmigs23,
I'm not sure that I follow. You have the Adobe Reader app for iOS, and converting photos to PDF? Where are the photos showing up as JPEG? Do you see the converted PDFs when you look at the Recents List?
Best,
Sara
