IPhoto 4 doesn't scroll through photos in Leopard when viewing lg thumbnail

I upgraded to Leopard, and everything seems mostly fine. Few small glitches. I repaired permissions and am keeping watch. But one thing hasn't resolved: when I open my copy of iPhoto 4, I can see all my pictures, but the scroll bar doesn't work if I have the photo enlarged to the biggest size. In other words, if I set a small thumbnail size so multiple thumbnails are displayed in the pane, I can scroll with the mouse wheel or the scroll bar. But if I enlarge the thumbnail so there is just one picture displayed it no longer scrolls. No wheel action, and clicking on the scroll bar doesn't work either. I can grab the blue lozenge and scroll, but that's very clumsy, so I've been shrinking, scrolling, enlarging. Does anyone else have this problem?

Arrow keys do not work, either. I tried that.
I don't know about what Apple intended, but scrolling used to work with fully enlarged thumbnails in Tiger, and that seemed fine. I don't expect they took out the scrolling function as a deliberate "improvement" for the Leopard support of iPhoto - I'm guessing it was just something overlooked in the scroll bar implementation in iPhoto. But it seems that other people are having the same problem and that there isn't any fix for the problem without upgrading, and I don't see enough increase of functionality in iPhoto to pay for an upgrade. There are other cheaper (free) software products that provide the same functionality.

How to scroll through photos in elements 10

How do I scroll through photos in Elements 10. Probably simple, but can't work it out....
tks...Mike.

In the Organizer you can use the slider to adjust the thumbnail size and use the scroll bar or arrow keys to move up and down. Are you not seeing a scroll bar?

Portrait photo orientation issue when viewed in slideshow

I have experienced this problem since first upgrading to 8.0. I have upgraded to 8.02, but this problem persists.
Most (but not all) of my portrait photos display incorrectly during slideshows (but display correctly otherwise). The pictures are rotated 90 degrees and are squished vertically and stretched horizontally. The result are pictures that fill a portrait oriented "frame" but are sideways, squat and stretched width-wise.
As near as I can tell, all my photos that I took with my digital cameras (all Canons of various models) have this problem, while only some photos I have received from friends have this issue. Perhaps it is an issue with iPhoto reading Canon's orientation flag? But why is it only a problem in slideshows?
I'm uncertain if this is relevant, but I've also noticed none of my portrait photos display properly when viewed via Front Row.
So far the only trouble shooting ideas I've been able to think of are:
1 - Remake my slideshows from scratch
2 - Rebuild my photo library.
Neither of these fixed my problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Try quitting iPhoto and trashing your iPhoto preferences file ("your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> con.apple.iPhoto.plist) when you launch iPhoto a new default one will be created - reset any user preferences you have changed and repoint iPhoto to the library if you have moved it

Scrolling through photos, restarting iPhoto: "Hidden Photos" are unhidden!

Hi,
As you may know, iPhoto has this great feature where you can mouse over an Event to scroll through the photos in it. iPhoto also has another great feature - the possibility to hide photos!
However, here's when they both went wrong: I had a few Hidden Photos in an event, yet when I moused over it - they showed up! Just makes them not so hidden...
Also, when I last closed iPhoto, Hidden Photos were checked to show. As I opened iPhoto up again - they were still unhidden. It would be nice if they automatically hid themselves upon closing. Is there an Apple Script available for this?
In the same scenario, I hid the photos manually. And as I opened up a photo in an event up full screen, and browsed through the event using the arrow keys - a hidden photo appeared! This, as I understand - is a bug. Where would I report this?
I hope you can help!
Thank you for your time,
Rudi

rudi_e:
First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Then rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Keep the zoom level the same when scrolling through photos

To decide which is the best photo that i’ve got, i usually compares the details by zooming and switching through photos back and forth, but keep the zoom level the same..
The problem is, in iPhoto 11 i can’t do this..
Because everytime i scroll to another photo, it always zoomed out by itself..
Does anybody know how to retain the zoom level when scrolling through images?

How hare you zooming? When I double click on a photo to bring up its full sized image and use the keyboards arrow keys to scroll thu the size stays the same? Is that how you're doing it?
Have you tried using the Full Screen mode?

IPhoto doesn't see my photos

I was in middle of editing newly loaded photos, when the computer locked up. I had to shut it off to regain control. Since then iPhoto opens but doesn't see any photos in my libraries. Photos are still there, I can see them in finder and preview, but iPhoto shows zero photos. I have tried renaming library , creating new library, and opening different libraries, but iPhoto doesn't see photos in any of them. Any thoughts on how I can get back to my photos? I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11, and iPhoto 2.0.1.

Have a look at this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2042
It has details on how to rebuild iPhoto Libraries prior to v6 - including v4 and v2.
Of course, the best solution to your issues is to simply restore from your back up.

IPhoto doesn't recognize all Photo Stream albums.

When I take a photo with my iPhone, the photo goes to my photo stream. I then send it to my TV Photo Stream album. The TV Photo Stream album is displayed on my Apple TV. My issue comes when I sync my iPhone with iPhoto. iPhoto doesn't display all my photo stream albums, i.e."TV Photo Stream" How do I get iPhoto to display all of my photo Stream albums? I only use one account, so I know that I am signed in under the right ID. I am not sure were to post this inquire, should it go to Photo Stream or iPhoto? I am not sure what App has the issue, or is it just me? Thank you,

iPhoto: 9.5.1 (902.17)
MacOS X version 10.9.4
Upon opening iPhoto, it asks me what photo library I want to use. At the left hand bottom there is a box saying (translated by me from Norwegian):
"iPhoto cannot start without a photo library. Select a library from the list, find another library on the machine, or create a new library to import files into. The library you chose now, will be used automatically next time you open iPhoto."
Then there is a box with no libraries listed, and underneath I've got the options of creating a new library or simply clicking "other library".
First time this happened I created a new library and thus there are 2 libraries: iPhoto-library and iPhoto-library_2 to chose from when clicking "Other library" There is also a non-selectable (grey) "Photo Booth-library" in the same list, which is in the path user/Photos/iPhoto-library or .../iPhoto-library2. But when clicking either of these the "open" button just keeps flashing indefinitely. Upon trying to open iPhoto-library or iPhoto-library_2 from Finder, it just opens iPhoto and prompting me to chose library like before...
The only thing that I changed (I think) is that I installed PSE 12.

IPhoto doesn't see new photos in iPhone

Trying to import new photos from my iPhone. iPhoto doesn't see them. I tried quitting both things, but still doesn't see them - now what?
Using iPhoto 9 - version 8.1.2
iPhone version 3.1.3

Computer sees the iphone, it just doesn't see the photos. This happened once before and I spent more than an hour with tech support fixing it - a real pain..... I'm hoping there is a quicker fix.

Album scrolling through photo's

Hi all. Sorry if this question is listed elsewhere. I sifted through the lists but could not find any details.
I have a new Sony Z3 compact and when I am in the Album app the screen at the top scrolls through pictures that are stored on my phone. Is there any way to stop this or do I simply use the Photo app for all viewing ?

Hi BE848,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
This can be done, however you would need to create a folder that was named .nomedia.
Once this has been done, simply put the pictures in this folder, they should no longer show in the album.
I hope this helps.

Photo Orientation Incorrect When Viewing MobileMe

I've tried to find a solution to this by searching other posts. What I've found is this is not a new problem. I have two AppleTVs and I have the same problem on both units.
But this is the real oddity. The photos not only display correctly orientated when viewed through a browser on both a Mac and iPhone (as well as the MyGallary app), but they also display correctly on AppleTV when previewing (as they carousel) while in the applicable onscreen navigation menus, and when they are displayed as a screen saver set to "Floating". However, if directly viewing in slideshow or when the screen saver is set to "Slideshow" the orientation is all messed up. And the current photos I'm view where also all taken with an iPhone and uploaded directly to the users MobileMe account.
And on top of all that, when I viewed the first 4-5 photos on AppleTV (now up to 15 photos) they displayed in the correct orientation. Now some of those that did display correctly are messed up.
How can the preview and floating screensaver correctly display the photos, they have a wrong orientation when in slide show. Again, this is on two aTVs. Seriously, there have only been Apple devices and Apple services used - this is should not be happening.
I've have this problem in the past on both aTVs, but the pictures where taken with a Canon and uploaded to mobileme from an iMac. I figured it was a minor inconvenience and that Apple would resolve this in subsequent updates - this was over a year ago.
The only thing I've tried to do so far is to delete the user's MobileMe account and then re-added - nothing corrected.
Oh, and the software is up to date on both units.

Updating the information regarding photo orientation with AppleTV screen saver.
Clear instructions: Click on photo in iPhoto, then go to File, choose 'Reveal in Finder', select 'Original File'. A window opens up where the original photo file is held. Open the photo in Preview. Rotate photo as needed. Close and save. You are done. Restart your AppleTV and turn your photos on and off to share in iTunes. Ta Da, it all works and it's very easy.
Hope this is helpful.

Photo quality worse when viewed on a PC -- why?

I'm experiencing a strange issue with some photos that I've touched up in iPhoto. When viewing the photos in iPhoto, they look fine. When exported into a different folder and viewed in Preview, they look fine. But later on I tried opening up the same exported files (jpeg's) on a PC, and some of them looked horrible. Some were horrendously noisy. Some had colors that seemed off. Some were far too sharp (I was playing around with the sharpness adjuster in iPhoto).
Has anyone experienced this issue before, and does anyone know why this happened? I plan on simply going back and toning down some of my edits/adjustments, but I'd like to know if there's an explanation for this.
One odd thing I noticed just now is that when opening some of these "bad" jpegs in Preview, for a split second, the photos look like they did on my PC. For example, I could see the pixel noise in one of them for a split second... similar to the way iPhoto first displays a blurry enlargement when double clicking on a photo. It almost seems like Preview and iPhoto are self-correcting bad images for display. Thoughts?

The primary cause of the misalignment is the fact the text is using a "Web Safe" font. A "web safe" font is not a single font. Rather it's a list/stack of fonts for the site visitor's browser to try until it finds one that's available the visitor's computer. That means on one computer the text is in one font (i.e. Arial) and on another computer it's another (i.e. Helvetica) with the subsequent fallout caused by the varying character widths between the two fonts. The best way to reduce this variation between site viewers is to use a Web Font (either an Edge Web Font or a Self-Hosted Web Font).
The alignment still won't be entirely consistent across browsers (or even versions of browsers), because each browser has it's own text layout engine and the engines do sometime change, but the variation will be radically reduced.

IPhoto doesn't show magnified photos

iPhoto shows only thumbnails and when I doble click on a photo, only change the bottom bar tool, but the display doesn't refresh and the thumbnail photos keep showing on the screen. Also when I select Edit a photo, the display area where it was supposed to show the full size image keep black.
I right click on a photo and choose ->Show File and I see that the photo's path is Macintosh_HD/users/AngelSolorio/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Madrid/"x".jpg. And the size is 3.1 MB.
However, if I doble click over any image in my Hard Drive, Preview doesn't show anything.
Someone can help me, please?

How are you getting the images into the library? You must import them. This is from the iPhoto help:
In addition to transferring photos from your digital camera, you can import photos from a flash drive, memory card reader, CD or DVD, or other locations on your computer’s hard disk.
If you’re using Mail, you can drag photos directly from an email into iPhoto. To import photos received when using another email client, including webmail, or when downloading photos from the web, first save the photos to your desktop or in a folder on your hard disk.
You can also scan photos and save them on your computer or save emailed photos on your hard disk, and then import them into iPhoto.
iPhoto supports popular file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and RAW. Other formats also work but are not fully supported.
To import photos without a digital camera:
In iPhoto, choose File > “Import to Library.”
Navigate to the location of the photos you want to import (for example, a CD icon on your desktop or a scanned photo file saved in a folder on your hard drive).
Select one or more photos, or select an entire folder or disk.
Click Import.
You can also drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into the viewing area. If you drag a folder, one or more Events are created based on subfolders and the dates the photos were taken.
IMPORTANT:Wait until all photos have been transferred into iPhoto or click Stop Import before ejecting a memory card, CD, or DVD.
NOTE:Some card readers may not be compatible with iPhoto. For more information, check with the manufacturer of the device.

IPhoto doesn't display all photos that are in Masters

Hey guys, so basically my problem is that my last two imports using my Nikon point-and-shoot have not appeared in iPhoto 11.2.3. The imports were apparently successful but the photos went only into Masters (within the iPhoto Library file) and I cannot see the two latest Events in iPhoto.
I've just reinstalled OS X Lion 10.7.3 and iLife 11 and have fully updated both using Software Update. I've added the Library (10,000 photos) back into Pictures and fired up iPhoto to no avail. I have previously tried rebuilding the iPhoto Library - even checking all the options and waiting an hour or so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kieran.

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.

Iphoto doesn't save my photos a jpg. file anymore, and i have no idea why..

Iphoto usually saves your photos as jpg. as you know
mine no longer does that..
when i look up the pictures in their folders it simply has their title but not the jpg.
format.
This means it's IMPOSSIBLE to upload them to imageshack or other photo hosting sites,
how do i fix it?
Thankyou

I'd guess the files are still jpeg, but the extensions are hidden. Go to the Finder preferences window, click Advanced, and make sure "Show all file extensions" is checked.

Iphoto doesn't show me photos in my library

Hello,
first, sorry for my english, I'm french...
After a complete reinstall of SL and a save of my iPhoto library, I copy-paste my iPhoto library that I saved on an external HD and after reinstalling iLife and open my iPhoto library all my photos are still here but there is no thumbnail for all those. As for faces, events, photos...
The only way to see my photos is to double-click on one !
I tried to repair permissions, rebuild library (by CMD+ALT at opening), but nothing to do.
I really don't want to lose all my organisation, faces, events... by squeezing my library and reimport my photos
Does anyone had this problem and solved it ?
Thanks for your help

The next step would be to rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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 User/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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
