Iphoto 11 is not saving edits!!

when i'm done editing a picture, the changes are only stay displayed in the thumbnail version.
if i click on the thumbnail to view it, all my edits are gone and i'm looking at the original photo.
if i try to drag the thumbnail (that shows the edited version) on my desktop, it still is opening up as the original photo without the edits
How do i fix this problem?
I am running on iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3
please help!!!

You have a corrupted Library.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
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.

PSE not saving edited files to the organiser

For no apparent reason my PSE 11 application seems to have developed an annoying glitch whereby part way through an editing process it stops doing as requested in the "Save" options, by not saving edited files as version sets of the original file in the Organiser. The files are saved OK to My Pictures and I then get advised that a file is available to import and I have to import each one, stack it with the original, and put the edited file on top. This is driving me nuts as I have about 1000 photos to edit. What is causing this problem? My only thoughts are that I have c.30000 picture files in the Organiser (but this hasn't caused any problems in adding new files) and that the problem seems to have arisen since I started editing files directly from within an Album.
Help

It's the first time I see that bug mentionned in PSE11, but it's an acknowledged bug in PSE12.
See that post with links for the workarounds:

When editing a photo in iPhoto it is not saved

I am a completely new Mac user. When trying within Iphoto "quick" editing mode, when clicking "ready" (I am using a Swedish software) the changes are not saved. It seems as if I have to export it to another location and when using the export function, make the changes (eg transforming it into X number of pixels), place it into eg the desktop and then import it into Iphoto. Seems extraordinary clumsy?

Are the photos you're cropping from a digital camera? If so then their size ratio is 4:3 which is the same as the 1000 x750 ratio your cropping to.
That 1000 x 750 isn't pixels, it's just a size ratio. So if you cropped a 4:3 image to 1000 x 750 and let it encompass the entire image there was no change to the image at all. If you had resized the crop window down considerably it would have reduced the pixel dimension of the image.
As you found out you can change the pixel dimensions by exporting. Or you can export at full size and use a 3rd party image resizing app like Resize! to resize both the pixel dimensions and (if so desired) the file size by applying more jpeg compression via the Quality slider to the file.

IPhoto 11 not saving edits to file

Hi - I'm using iPhoto 11 on my iMac (new user) and I can make changes to photos (crop/rotate etc) which are reflected in iPhoto but then they are not saved in the original files in the Pictures folder. I have tried to delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file as some other forums have directed but it makes no difference. This is a problem if I am then trying to upload them to Truprint or editting them for posterity.
All help appreciated, thanks

I can make changes to photos (crop/rotate etc) which are reflected in iPhoto but then they are not saved in the original files in the Pictures folder.
Of course not. Iphoto is designe to always preserve your original file. It never does anything to it. Your edits are ll carried out on a copy of the originls file.
Further, iPhoto is a database and you never, ever access the files via the Finder.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

IPhoto not saving editing changes:

I am attempting to edit changes in my IPHOTO library and notice that it's not saving everything that I want. It is making some changes i.e. brightness/contract, however sharpness and other editing options are NOT being saved. Very odd, I am wondering if IPHOTO 6 has fixed this problem? It appears others are having this problems with issue as well and no there does not appear to be any concrete answers. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hello, Phez,
It may be that iPhoto's preference file has been damaged. Delete it and see if that corrects the problem. iPhoto will create a new one when it determines that the old one is gone.
Go to YourUserName->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iPhoto.plist and delete that plist.
Also, you should always repair permissions before and after any installations/upgrades. Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. Select your hard drive's icon by its name, then be sure you are in 'First Aid' and choose 'Repair Disk Permissions."

Iphoto not saving edits

I am editing a photo in iphoto, but it's not saving the edit like it says iphoto does automatically. The edited version shows up in the album, but when I click on the photo, it opens to the original, and I only see the edited photo when I click "edit." I have tried exporting it, e-mailing it, everything, and it always just shows the original. What do I do? I need to save the edit!

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

IPhoto 9 does not save edits, cannot see the edited photo except in the edit panel

Hi Friends,
I am a macbook pro user, OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto 9 - 8.1.2
The problem - noise edits of my pictures are not saved, I do not see the edited version of the photo in the iPhoto album or event, my photo prints only monochrome on the HP 1280 inkjet printer and that too only the original version.
Crop edits are however saved as are enhancements.
Solutions tried thus far - creating a new library by holding the "option" button pressed on launching iPhoto and importing pictures to the new library - no good.
I have seen the Library Manager based solution on these forums, so where to get the library manager.
thanks for your help

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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.

Iphoto11 not saving edits

Currently using Os10.8.4, iPhoto11 on a MacBook Air, I can not duplicate pictures and after making changes, my pictures are not saved. Exporting them does not save changes. When viewing pictures in the screen, they apprea original, but as soon as I hit enter to allow the editing bar to open, they will change (after a few seconds) to the edited version. Lots of odd little things happening. What could be wrong? I am not a strong apple user. I have learned some basics, but no more.
Most of my library that I use comes from a WD My Passport for Mac. I try exporting the files to the SDD on the MBA in smaller versions of jpg. My originals are all in RAW.

Verify the format of your external drive - it should be Mac OS extended (journaled)
Is it?

Photoshop elements not saving edits/captions

I am perplexed how to get my photoshop elements 4 to save my photo edits and captions. It has worked well for many years but something happened a couple of months ago and now it is not saving either my photo editing or captions in organizer...HELP!

DJ, My computer is windows 8, below are the system requirements for PSE12 - looks like it will run in 64-bit. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
No, you have seriously misunderstood what I said. PSE will not run as a 64 bit application under Windows. Even though you have a 64 bit version of Windows, PSE will NOT run as a 64 bit application under Windows. It will run as a 32 bit application under Windows 64bit, giving it a maximum of approx 3 GB of memory to work with. I don't know if that will make your problems go away or not. Please download the 30-day free trial of PSE 12 and see if your problems go away or not before you make a purchase.
From the system requirements
all other applications run native on 32-bit operating systems and in 32-bit compatibility mode on 64-bit operating systems

Not saving edits

sometimes iphoto doesn't save my edits, specifically noise reduction...

Thanks for sharing.
Did you have a question?
If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhoto can't locate saved edited photos even though the thumbnails show up?

Hoping to find out what's the issue here!
After updating iPhoto '11 to 9.1.1 and upgrading my library, I edited some photos today only to discover that whilst the thumbnails were still there for these photos, whenever I clicked on them to enlarge the photo, I got a warning sign instead.
Please see the following screencaps:
The photo I already edited and select in order to enlarge...
...but all I get is this, now, for some reason?
What am I doing wrong? Please help, it's really frustrating!
Didn't have this issue before upgrading/updating, so....

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, 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.

Want to re-name photos in iphoto. info not saved

I am trying to date all the photos in iPhoto. I just did about 300 and none of the info is saved. What am I doing wrong?

When you change the title underneath the thumbnail in iPhoto all you're changing is the title and not the file name. To change the file name you need to export the photo out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the option to use the Title as the new file name selected.

IPhoto 6.06 not saving photos from my iPhone 4

My iPhoto has always organized my photographs by year. I connect my iPhone, download the pictures and they appear on iPhoto. But something happened in 2012. iPhoto will download the photos into the 'last roll' folder but then will not save them after that. The next time I download pictures, it will erase the previous photos and start afresh. Any ideas on what's going on?

"Last Roll" is a shortcut to the most recent Roll you have imported. Next import, that changes as the new import is the most recent one.
If the Photos are in Last Roll then they are in the Library somehwere. They have to be. Usually, it means that they are not where you expect them to be. Check out your sorting options in the view menu.

Fireworks not saving edits.

I have just done my 3rd html/images click thru mockup of a website using Fireworks. I have been experiencing much trouble with editing button symbols and also with button symbol pop up menus. It seems that in order to enable/disable a behavior such as "down state upon load" or to make changes to the appearance of a pop-up menu I must make one change, save the file, close the file, and then re-open. If I try to make more than one change or don't close and re-open, the changes I made do not "stick". this is a real pain and hassle. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have always tried to avoid blaming software for problems I have. I must, however, say that I find Fireworks to be a very quirky and poorly functioning application. There are a number of other problems like confusing menus and strange behaviors and lack of functionality. I like having the mock-up tool and it could be very useful but......I use Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro all with no complaints. Fireworks needs attention from Adobe IMHO. (end of rant)
So has anyone experienced the problem with editing button symbols/pop-up menus and not having the edits "stick", or is just me? Thanks!

Maybe you are exporting the original. Try choosing H.264 and you should get an export of your adjusted clip in mp4 format which can be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo etc.
