IPhoto 7.1.3: Can view and enlarge photos but cannot see them in edit mode

When selecting and attempting to edit photos, the photo does not appear in the "edit" window below the thumbnails. This "edit" window remains blank. Edit functions appear operable but I cannot see what is happening to the photo until the edit has been made and shows up in the thumbnails. Anyone have a similar issue or suggestion?
Thanks.

The procedure for creating and populating a new library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders 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 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.
If the problem is persisting into a new library - how big is your HD and how much free space on it?

HT5361 When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose " button is gone. What have I done wrong?

When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose " button is gone. What have I done wrong?

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

Superdrive can read and burn dvds but CANNOT read or burn CDs??

My DVR-107D can read and burn DVD's, but all of a sudden it cannot even read or mount a cd. It also cannot burn CD's. I've run 2 cleaning discs, and even manually cleaned the lens. I feel it may be a software issue at this point... Any ideas?? Finder is set to open CDs and DVDs to the desktop.

Hi
There are two lenses in the drive. It is possible for one to fail while the other still functions. I manually cleaning the lenses made no difference, it is quite possible that aspect of the drive is dead.
You may want to try from a different admin User account (and with a third party app such as Toast, in addition to Finder, iTunes, iPhoto, Disc Utility)

I can see my photos but cannot move them anywhere or do anything with them

I transferred photos as I have always done from my digital camera to Iphoto. After transferring the photos I deleted them from my camera. I can see the photos in Iphoto but I cannot move them anywhere, I cannot download them e.g. to send with an email, I cannot change them in any way, I cannot delete them.
I thought I had done something wrong so I shot two more photos and put them onto my laptop exactly as before. These photos are fine and can be moved around as always. What now???

Hi again
That was a great help. Thank you so much. I could open "Show original file" on approx. half of the photos (there were 49 in all). I have been able to save those to my desktop. They were not copied and are now no longer in the original file.
But it gets even stranger. When I right click on the others (20 in all) "Show original file" is not active and when I click on show file they are not in there. These I can not move in any folder whether "all photos" or events so are still lost to me at the moment. All the photos were taken from my camera at the same time. Do you have any more wonderful ideas?... Glinda11

URGENT DSC: I can write to shared variables but CANNOT read them?

hello everyone,
I'm using DSC to communicate with a DELTA DVP28SV PLC. I managed writing to a coil to to turn a fan on, and I also wrote to a register.
However, when i tried to read the coil (same coil i just turned on) or when i tried to read a register that im very sure has values (the register where i configure the modbus parameters), it would return ZERO, even when i tried to read the register that i just wrote into the reply was zero (I am sure that writing to the register was successful because i made the specific value that i wrote to the register a condition to turning a light on).
So, anyone knows why this could happen?? the Registers are Read/Write. I thought it could be that the scan time in the PLC is too short so i added delays but anything i read still gives zero back. ideas? can anyone help me with this?
here's the PLCs application manual in case it matters : http://www.delta.com.tw/product/em/control/plc/download/manual/DVP-PLC-Program_O_EN_20120416.pdf
Solved!

Strang, my CD Driver can burn the cd-rw, but cannot erase them!

Hi,
i have a very strange problem, my CD Driver can burn the cd without mistake, but fails to erase them.
Either OSX or XP.
I mean when i click to erase it, it seems to be working and also makes some noise, but when the process finished, the old files still in my cd-rw!
does anyone have same error like me ? Is it a hardware or software failure?
It's not the disc reason i think, because i can do the erasing with my dvd-rw driver in another computer.

Try Burn. It works for me,when Finder and Disc Utility even can't see a DVD/CD... And it's just one click,one minute and ready !

Iphone camera is not combining the light and dark photos but is presenting them as separate photos

Hello Community,
My friend showed me his iPhone 4 today and every time he takes a photo a dark version and a lighter version are shown, not combined as one but as two separate photos. I believe I remember that the camera takes more than one shot and combines the best of both, his camera is not combining them. How do instruct him to fix this problem?
Thank you for any help,
Nick M.

Hello,
And thanks for your time.
Am I understanding you correctly, that it is normal for there to be two photos, one dark and one light?

I have purchased Keynote from the app store, and downloaded it, but cannot see it to install on my MacBook Air?

I have purchased Keynote from the app store to use on my MacBook Air, but I cannot find it on the computer, and so I cannot install it.
What else do I need to do?

Me too. Have you purchased Keynote via the App Store app in your Mac's dock or Applications folder? ...Purchasing Keynote for iPhone/iPad still requires that you purchase the Mac version separately:

I do not see the user interface for the Logic software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but I cannot see them to adjust parameters. Please advise.

I do not see the user interface for the Logic Pro software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but cannot see them to adjust the parameters. Please advise.

Couple of things - you can open the interface for any instrument or plug-in by double-clicking its insert slot on the channel strip. You can configure Logic to automatically open the interface for a plug-in when you first instantiate it in the preferences. Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Display > Mixer, and check the box for "Open plug-in window on insertion".

Using iPhoto 09, 8.1.2 How do I re-route saving pictures to the hard drive? Currently am saving to files on 'my' partition, and would like to change to save to a shared file so both partitions can view and access.

Drag the Library from the Pictures folder to the Users/Shared folder. I would point out that folks doing this on 10.6 and later frequently meet permissions issues. You might do better moving it to an appropriately formatted External Disk.

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

Can I move all my photo that I can see on iPhoto from my Mac hardrive and put them on an external hard drive and still be able to see them as thumbnails in iPhoto? Thanks! The reason, I need to know if I can do this is b/c I am running out of HD space!sp

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
