Iphoto 11 not saving my edits. HELP????

What is going on? Can't save my edited photos? Anybody know about this? Thanks.

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?

IPhoto not saving simple edits

I have been using this current version of iPhoto for several weeks with no problems. Yesterday, it stopped saving simple edits even after hitting the done button. For example, I would crop a photo, click done, move onto the next photo and the previous edit would just disappear. It won't save simple enhancements or more complex adjustments either.
I am using iPhoto '11, version 9.2.3. There are no further updates available. I have not added any new software to my computer. I am at a loss. Any suggestions would be welcome!

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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

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 11 Not saving photo edits

Iphoto Version 9.4.3
OSX 10.7.5, Build 11G63, Serial # W872101JVUX
3 GB SDRAM
Have had many problems since switching to Iphoto 11, this is just the latest. This week I added 5 Jpeg photo's to a library and edited them. When I finished I returned to the library and noticed they didn't look as good as they had while editing them. I returned to editing in the info section and indeed it looked like most of the editing had not been saved. I then moved to the editing section and the photo's still looked bad but after 5 -10 seconds the edits reappeared and the photo's looked as good as I expected. I then returned to the library (saving the edits) and again they look bad. These photo's were scanned to a desktop folder then imported to an iphoto library from there as is my normal procedure. I have used all the "Rebuild Library" choices which did not help. I do not ever make any changes to the libraries except through Iphoto.
I would like to concentrate on this problem now of course, but just for your information the other main problem I have fairly often is very slow editing with spinning balls. This is usually made acceptable by spending a lot of time "Rebuilding Library". I thought about reinstalling Iphoto but 9.4.3 is no longer available through the app store where I purchased it and my computer cannot upgrade any further.
I'm almost hoping that you tell me my computer isn't adequate and this will solve my problems as at least I can stop fighting with Iphoto. I will also say that otherwise the computer works fine and I have no problems with other programs.
Thanks for any help in advance

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 slideshow settings

HELP! I am DESPERATE!!!!! I have been working on a 45 minute slideshow for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party ALL WEEK. Iphoto is NOT SAVING my settings for the transisions between photos or the time each slide plays for. It is happening at random. No one at Apple has been able to help me...as a matter of fact I thought I was going to really lose it for about the 10th TIME when the last guy I spoke to tonight told me that I needed to speak with an IAPP advisor as he could not help me only being a senior advisor. My questions is WHY THE HECK HAVE I NOT BEEN transferred to an IAPP advisor all week when I have been calling them repeatedly trying to get issue resolved. This was the only person who said I should speak to someone in IAPP. I now have only FRIDAY to get this resolved as the party is at my house on SATURDAY!!!!
I know other people have had some similiar problems (glitches) from searching the internet and yet the people I have been speaking with say they have never had someone call up with this problem.....????
Anyone else out there have this problem and find a way to fix it?
(BTW--they already had me go the route of trashing the psist file and some cache file among other things......)

Terence
Thank you for replying. My ranting was just out of utter fustration of literally sitting at a computer since Sunday redoing and redoing everything in order to have try and have a nice slideshow for my parents rather than just dumping a bunch of photos & music into a slideshow. It loses its punch when things don't fall into the proper place or transition right.....
2 things Apple had me do initially:
move a cache file and psist file out of library to desktop and then into my trash (I then did a secure empty trash)
senior advisor tried to have me duplicate the problem while he was accessing my computer---COULD NOT. He said unless I can duplicate for him he can't help me. He also said that he has never heard of anyone else complain of this & has never heard of anyone making a slideshow so big??? Really? It is 45 minutes with 375 pictures. While a little lengthy I find it hard to believe they are not used to anyone makng a slideshow this long.
Anyways later I called back when I felt I could duplicate issue. I spoke with another rep. He had me change ALL SLIDES from 5 seconds to 1 second and unclick default transition thinking that this could be causing the system to keep wanting to ovverride my manual individual settings if I had any slide less than 5 seconds or another transition. However he also was miffed by the "size" of my slideshow and said that Iphoto slideshow really wasn't meant for something of this size and suggested I use IMovie. While I had never used it I tried it. After spending all day getting the photos in IMovie and in same order I started editing the transitions and slide times....well this was no good because if I changed one thing it caused a ripple effect and changed stuff. Sooooooo I called Apple back and spoke with Senior advisor that told me that this is what Imovie does and I really should not use it for what I was trying to do ....he still felt iphoto slideshow was the way to go. So we went back to iphoto slideshow hoping that the couple of small changes the other advisor had me do had worked....no luck. I then decided to try and start fresh with NEW slideshow, new settings and break up my one big slideshow into smaller slideshows & then eventually dumpt into Imovie......No luck. With about 30 photos I noticed it wasn't saving my slide times again or now the speed of transitions. So the bottom line is that there is a GLITCH with iphoto and I have seem similiar complaints on these forums.
I greatly appreciate your suggestion of trying other apps and would definately do that if I had the time but alas the party is tomorrow and I have only today to get it resolved and redone.
Thank You for Your Time

PSE7 is not saving the edits I make to my pictures

I'm working in the Editor and I am saving the edits I make as a jpeg file. I then go back to Organizer and my edits were not saved.
Any ideas why this might be happening?

Usually, File->Catalog->Repair and Optimize will fix the problem for future edits

Photoshop not saving my edits

Hello,
I recently did an edit of a picture in Lightroom, and sent it to Photoshop to save it as a Jpeg. It does save it as a Jpeg, however, it does not save my edits, only the original file. What am I doing wrong?

I wonder if it is being hidden. Lightroom can hide identical image names with different extensions.

Video not saved can anyone help me

i was recording a video , then suddenly i recieve a message(sms) i accidentaly clicked the msg to view it...and the video i was recording is not saved in camera roll...can anyone can tell me if ther is a chance i can recover that video... pleasee

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Iphoto 6 not saving after edit

Hello
I'm struggling to figure out iphoto at the moment. I've never had a problem with it until recently. Basically iphoto was unable to import my RAW files from my Nikon D55 the other day but has been fine on many occasions before that. I don;t know what's changed. In my iphoto folder there are two folders one containing originals the other modified. It won't open any files from the original folder into iphoto - preview will open them and Nikon picture project will open them.
I managed to get iphoto to import them today but now when I edit they just won't save, the program just sits there with the saving bar going forever.
This is really frustrating me, does anyone have any ideas to help me?
Hopefully waiting

I thought I was being thick and not completely understanding of how to do this "easy" trick.
I've tried at least 15 times to clear the red from my eyes and as we're told it saves automatically..for convenience.Except that it doesn't.
If I close the pic and then reopen the eyes are unchanged.
Is there something I should be doing?
My email is on OS9.2 so when I switch discs and begin to work it always tries to connect with internet if I ask for help.Shouldn't there be more comprehensive help available on desktop?

Cropping in iPhoto reverses Photoshop's edit - help

I was helping my father edit his pictures by dragging them from the iPhoto album they were in to Photoshop CS5.
After editing I'd click "Save" and the highest setting "12" for the jpeg. When I'd go back to iPhoto the editing doesnt appear in the thumbnails but it does when I open the images.
The problem is, he has gone through and cropped some and all the editing I did on them is gone.
What is the issue? How do I fix it?
Thanks,
Andrew

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Iphoto not saving updated library

I've been trying to add my latest photos into iphoto and it copies them all across ok, shows them all in the library and I can rotate them or add titles etc but when I quit iphoto and then reopen it, the library goes back to how it was before and all the latest photos I've just added have disappeared. I've tried it several times but the new photos always disappear. When I first tried to add the photos, iphoto did unexpectedly quit so I don't know whether that's what's causing the problem but I've tried restarting, downloading the latest update and also trashing the plist so that it rebuilds the prefs and even rebuilding the OS 9 desktop just in case that would help but it's still happening. Any ideas? Thanks

Sarah,
Just a question.
Are these images imported into iPhoto directly from your digital camera?
Is the date set correctly on the digital camera?
Are these images imported from a folder on a hard drive?
Were these images taken recently or were they taken a long while ago?
Do you have the Library view set to "view by film roll"
Basically why I am asking this is because if you view by date and film roll, if the images were taken a while ago, or if the camera has the wrong date, you are not going to see them at the top of the library.
They will be placed in a roll in the library according to the date they were taken.
You should however be able to view the last roll of import by highlighting "last roll" in the source column.
other than that, do what Sam says

Photo Icons Not Changing After Editing - Help!

Hello,
I recently upgraded to Lion and just like Snow Leopard the photo icons have white borders around them, which is fine. The problem is that even after editing the photos in both Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5, the icons don't change by removing the white border like they used to in Snow Leopard. If I turn off the show icon preview, the icons don't show the image of course, but still don't change after editing. I liked being able to tell which ones I had already edited and which ones I still needed to edit. Can anyone help me with this? Maybe I have some setting I need to change? I want the icon to change after editing by either showing the picture or showing the picture w/o border like it used to. Thanks!

On your Mac disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

HT5262 pictures are not saved with edits

I edited all of my pictures on my iphone (cropping, red eye, auto-enhance, etc.) and wanted to upload them to my PC. But when I go to upload them, it only keeps the photo in it's original state. Any suggestions on getting the edited pics converted over?

It's probably because you are not using software on your PC that can read the XMP metadata that contains the edits. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4253.

IPhoto not saving new imports

Suddenly when opening or trying to import photos I'm getting a new (actually my first) error message:
An error occurred while trying to save your photo library.
Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library.
I have nearly 100gb space available and I'm not sure how to point iPhoto back to it's library. The library is still there, and the imported photos are in it if I 'Show Package Contents' but if I close iPhoto and reopen the event will be gone.
Also my account has read/write privileges to the iPhoto library.
Any thoughts?

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.
