IPhoto 6.06 stopped displaying full screen images

Using my four day old mac and iPhoto suddenly developed a problem: when I try to play a slideshow instead of the images appearing on the screen full size (which they did perfectly), I get a gray screen with a dashed box that has a "?" in it. Same photos that were used two days ago are NG. Also, I can see the thumbnails in the various libraries OK, but if I try to enlarge beyond about 2" by 3" with the slider, same thing (gray screen with dashed box)
I did get a prompt that the thumbnails were being rebuilt. How do I fix this?
Thanks

If you made changes in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder you have two choices:
1. Return things to the way they were
or
2. If you cannot do this then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Some FYI
It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
Rolls in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
It is not recommended that you access pics in the iPhoto Library Folder except through the iPhoto Window. There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. 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.
3. Show File: 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.

  • Some JPG images, stored in DB, do not display on screen/image item.

    Hi friends,
    I have a form to save and retrieve images (JPG, GIF, TIF) to and from DB, using WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.CLIENT_TO_DB and CLIENT_IMAGE.WRITE_IMAGE_FILE respectively.
    It’s working fine, but with few JPG images, it stores in DB but do not display on screen/image item.
    Secondly, if I try to retrieve and write this JPG to OS (using CLIENT_IMAGE.WRITE_IMAGE_FILE), it prompts error “FRM-47101: Cannot write image file”.
    Environment:
    Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2
    OS XP Pro 2002 SP3
    Oracle DB 11g Enterprise Edition Rel. 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have done a workaround here, which worked for me.
    My requirement is to direct save images in DB. So my system was just saving images without knowing if picture would display on form or not later.
    I created a (non-DB) image item on form and added a code (CLIENT_IMAGE.READ_IMAGE_FILE) to place image in this image item, if it successfully display image then save image directly in DB using code (WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.CLIENT_TO_DB).
    Note: - If CLIENT_IMAGE.READ_IMAGE_FILE fails it raises exception and it means image has invalid format/internal data header and system does not save image in DB.
    Now I have a kind of a filter to stop saving pictures which do not display later on form. :)

  • In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    Hello,
    Please make sure that the next button is pinned to the right side as there in the attached image.
    If it is already pinned, you can try removing any embedded HTML code and checking it.

  • How do I get my contact's photos to display full screen for incoming calls?

    I noticed today that when I get an incoming call it no longer displays "full screen".  I keep missing calls because it now only displays as a banner at the top of the screen that someone is calling and their photo (if I've assigned one to them) is a tiny thumbnail. 
    Did I only just notice now that this is another 'great upgrade' with the new IOS, or is this some weird glitch with my phone?  I've been wondering how I've been missing calls in the past week, but just happened to catch it today after I had been using the new map app and wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence or if it's somehow connected..? 
    Is there any way to change this or am I stuck with it this way??

    I've never added my contact on my computer, I've always done it through my phone (I didn't know you could do it through the computer).  The problem is not the photo, it's that the call doesn't come in and take up the full screen.  Now when a call comes in, it displays as a banner at the top of the phone where the time and date normally would be, so I don't notice anyone's phoning. 
    As far as I can recall, it's only started happening since yesterday after I used the new map app.  I've checked my notifications settings and the phone settings and so far as I can see, everything is set the same way it always was.  I checked my hubby's phone to see if it's maybe something new since this last update to IOS6, but the call displays full screen (regardless whether the contact has a photo associated to it or not) and not a banner at the top of the screen like mine.
    I still don't know how to change this back.  Any other suggestions?

  • Full screen images on page?

    I would like to have full screen images on a page that fits to most browsers. I don't know what would be the best width in order to acomplish that.

    Hi. I am also trying to have my images appear full screen when previewing in a browser. I realize you can do this by adding an image to the
    background of your Muse Document. However, this is NOT what I want to do. Here is a link to website where the images appear full screen,
    no matter how you size the browser window. http://www.lexusls.asia/ I too would like my images to appear full screen when appearing in
    a browser. I have also included an image of what I am getting when I try this. See how the city image floats in the middle? I want it to fill the
    entire screen when viewing in a browser.
    Thanks to all who may reply.

  • Full screen images on E65

    How can i put full screen images on my E65??

    Well, when you say fullscreen, you mean you want it to cover the active standby apps, as well, as the clock and provider area? If so, then you would have to customize your picture and turn it into a theme. If not, then edit your picture to be 240x320 pixels in the dimension. Your picture could be larger in size as long as it has the same aspect ratio, it should fit in perfect. I have not tried this myself, but theoretically it should work.
    Hope that helps.

    If your just opening the html file from a link within your site, then you could code the link to open in a new window at full size. This is not done through RH, but instead on the site where its linking to your webhelp index.html page. Its relatively simple, and you can customise things like viewable buttons, scroll bars etc etc.

  • 3G Nano: How do I get my photos to display full-screen?

    Hi,
    I have a 3G Nano.
    When I go into PHOTOS the left 1/2 of the screen is always taken up by the menu selections and I have not yet figured out how to get the photos to display full screen. What am I doing wrong?
    Please excuse... this is my first iPod...

    Select "All Photos" from the menu to the left of those half pictures. Press the center button and you will get "thumb nails of your photos. Run your finger around the touch wheel and a yellow box will highlight the picture. If you start with the first picture and press the center button again you will bring up a full screen pict. To go to the next pict use the touch wheel in a clockwise manner to see each pict. Go to back to the photo menu and go to settings to try out some neat tricks and even add music. Don't ever be worried about asking a question. The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask! I got my nano yesterday and I have some questions that the "help" didn't address also

  • Display full-screen controls NOT visible

    I exported my keynote presentation as a QuickTime full-screen movie. In Preferences, I have the controls checked to display full-screen controls and to never hide them. They do not show up anywhere. I also set the presentation as a slideshow to control the presentation using the arrow keys and they do not show up. In the Guide it states that as long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QT Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer. They don't.
    Any help out there would be appreciated...I have a deadline to meet!

    Huh, I didn't realize you had to format a flash drive for a Mac, I'll check that out.
    O.K. I may have something that I said I was going to try...I unlocked the file, changed *_My* permission_, the Staff and Everyone else to "Read Only" privileges, then locked again. I then zipped it and sent it to my son this morning. He said he could open it, change it but it would not allow him to save it! I'm going to test it further somehow but I don't know anybody else that has a Mac w/Keynote '08. Do you have Keynote 08? Can I send it to you to test (it would be alot easier) or to someone in the Keynote discussion area?
    This message should now have a subject line..."Keynote presentation to CD to be accessed, but not changed?" When this all began, I searched discussions in Keynote on this and found nothing with a concrete answer, only that you cannot save a keynote presentation as password protected. I posted twice and no one answered. I think this part of our discussion will help Keynote people.
    *Back to your area of expertise and my original question!*... Can you still look to see what key commands force the HUD for me for my QuickTime Movie as Slideshow? I know they could not change that, but the arrow controls would have to be displayed. I don't know what HUD means but I'm going to search too... I found this link: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QT7-2Update_Guide/NewFeaturesChangesEnhancements/chapter_2_section9.html
    Could you take a look and see if this is what I need? I do have Mac OS X v10.5.4 and QT v7.5 and my Preferences window does not have a recording tab but my Full screen window looks that same. When I view my A/V controls it also doesn't view as in figure 1-8. I'm confused again! QT 7.5 is the latest version, isn't it?

  • Create a full-screen image gallery with MSO - breaks other buttons?

    Hi - I'm trying to create a full screen image gallery to be accessible from any layout via a button.  The ultimate goal is to use my layout as a presentation tool and allow the presenter to have an 'image gallery' button on each page,so they would be able to jump to a full screen image at any time.  Most of my layouts have other buttons, scrollable content, etc.  I thought I had a great idea: create a multi-state object with the first state being blank, and each subsequent state would have an image and also a full screen black box at 50% transparency.  The problem is, now my other buttons are no longer working.  I confirmed that the existing buttons will work if they are arranged to be in front of the image gallery MSO, but that's not a good solution.  Am I missing something or is there another workaround?  Thanks!
    John

    You have to put buttons inside each state of the MSO.
    It's not really a workable design in the long run, you should probably rethink it It's also not good from an app performance standpoint as it requires loading full-screen images for each state into memory.

  • Question slide- Launch a full screen image in new window.

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 4.
    In the question slide (MCQ/ Matching) I want to have a transparent button over a thumbnail image.
    On clicking this button, it lanches a full screen image in a new window.
    The student views the image and answers MCQ,  Matching (droplist)  on the main screen/slide of captivate.
    This new window can then be closed by clicking 'X' on top right corner of the window.
    How to do this?
    Thanks and regards
    Rajan

    Hi there
    Instead of a Transparent Button you should think instead about Click Boxes. But either way, Captivate doesn't allow Buttons or Click Boxes to be inserted on Question Slides.
    However, Captivate does allow you to insert Flash objects on Question slides. So you could develop a Flash object that would carry out the desired actions when clicked. Then insert the object on the Question slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Why won't video display full screen?

    I've imported an mp4 file into Premiere elements 7, burnt it to DVD, but when I view it on TV there's large black areas all around the video.  i thought it was the TV setting, played around with those, but couldn't get it to display full screen.
    I've looked at the video again in preview, and it's the same when I preview it, so I'm guessing it might be a Premiere Elements setting or a laptop setting?  Note this is the first time I've tried it on a new laptop - the old one was nicked when we were burgled :-(
    I've done a clean install of premiere elements and just gone from there, so do I need to do something after install maybe?
    Any help much appreciated
    thanks

    You say that you created your .mp4 (photos and videos) in Windows Movie Maker. However, please verify that since Windows Movie Maker does not appear to offer a .mp4 export choice...they all seem to be .wmv or dv.avi. If you miswrote on this point, the discussion of .mp4 and Premiere Elements becomes a non issue.
    (The above seems to be true if you are using the Windows Live Movie Maker instead of Windows Movie Maker, but in the case of Windows Live Movie Maker there is no longer an option for dv.avi, just .wmv.)
    When creating a Premiere Elements project for export to file saved to the computer hard drive or burn to disc,
    a. Determine the properties of your source media (video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, file extension, pixel aspect ratio, etc)
    b. Set the Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) to match the properties of those source media.
    c. Check...does my source media fill the space provided in the Edit Mode Monitor for editing purposes.
    d. When exporting, if workflow is for 16:9 Widescreen, then be sure to set for a preset for Widescreen burn to or, if workflow is 4:3 standard, then a preset for Standard burn to.
    I suspect that your problems are in regard to set up of your project rather than .mp4 versus other wrapper formats.
    But let us see by looking at the details revisited.
    Thanks.

  • Blurry full screen image 4.x/5.0/5.2 RC (Develop Module)

    I've created a small youtube video showing how the image goes blurry when hitting F for full screen.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI0GGFgE7Y8
    I've zoomed to 1:1 and then hit F in this case.  It's tempermental, it's not something that happens 100% of the time.  I'd say more like 85%.
    I've also seen it be sharp after hitting F and then go blurry when I try to pan left or right on the full screen image.
    This issue really makes a dedicated monitor for full screen images when developing useless.
