Iphoto 7.1.5 edit screen will not open photos

suddenly - meaning i was editing just fine as always & the next time i tried to open a photo to edit, the screen was blank - tried within different events - nada - tried closing iphoto 2ce - nada - shut down my computer (imac: os 10.6.8) - nada - checked all possible commands in all drop downs (that i was sure i didn't do) - nada - so NOW WHAT!?  thanks for any help

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?
Post back with the result.
Punctuation, grammar and so on are a courtesy you extend to the reader.

  • Help!  I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8 my iphoto is having problems.  It will not open properly.  All I get is the little wheel going around and around.  My iphoto is iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52)  What should I do to make it work properly?

    Help!   I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8.  My iphoto is having problems.  It will not open properly.  All I get is the little wheel going around and around.  My iphoto is:  iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52).  What do I need to do to remedy this?  I recently installed InstallMac.  I don't want this on my computer.  I don't know how to get it off.  I'm afraid that is what scrogged my iphoto.  Can anyone tell me how to correct this situation?

    Re: iPhoto:
    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.

  • Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

    iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air,  it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

    Sorry for the second post..
    I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
    To do that;
    1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
    2. Select Show Package Content.
    3. Click on the Originals Folder
    4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
    Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

  • Screen will not open on my iMac

    My screen will not open. I get the Apple and the little whirligig but that is it. It just keeps going around for about four seconds.

    Try starting up in Safe Mode. If all seems fine in Safe Mode, restart and see if that helps.

  • I can access the camera but the screen will not open to allow me to take pictures

    I can acess the camera app on my itouch but the screen will not open to allow me to take pictures.  Has anyone had this problem?

    Yes others have.  If the following (in order) does not solve the problem) an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    - Reset iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • Edited clips will not open with other apps

    After editing video clips using Adobe Premiere Elements, clips will not open with other apps (like VLC, Media Player, etc...)

    Sherbowe
    Just saw your post and wanted to leave a just in case note.
    From the information that you and John T. Smith just exchanged, it would appear that you attempted to play back the saved project file (project.prel) with your VCL Player and Windows Media Player. You need to export the Timeline content to a file format that is supported by the player of your choice. By now, you have probably been there and done that.
    This is the just in case note about projects and their project.prel file....let us say that you have two separate projects and you decide to put the content of one project into another. Cannot do. One cannot import a project.prel into another project.prel. You would have to export the Timeline of one and then import that export in the other project. Alternatively, those with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, and 10 could use the ClipMate program to copy/paste between programs without issues. However, with Premiere Elements 11 there are some problems in that regard.

    Thanks for your quick reply but although it did not solve my problem, I found that other functions were not working this morning and after a good deal of head scratching I found out that it was the remote Microsoft keyboard attached to my laptop which was causing all problems! It was only a few months old but I have now bought another but Advent this time and all is back to normal. Thanks once again. Conway Hall

  • Ipad will not open photos from sd card

    ipad wll not open  photos from an sd card

    Are the photos on the card taken with a camera? If not, the card must meet all of these requirements...
    The SD card must be formatted using MS-DOS (FAT). 
    Photos must be in a /DCIM folder folder at the thumb drive's root level
    Photos must all have 8 character names plus the suffix, usually jpg or jpeg.

    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.

  • IPAD 3RD GEN WIFI 32GB : BLACK SCREEN/WILL NOT OPEN

    Hi everyone.
    I am not sure what the **** is going on with my luved Ipad. It has been working perfectly until last weekend when I turned it on as normal but it would not open to my first page. Normally I simply open my ipad cover and it starts up straight away, I put in my password and away I go. All I have at the moment is a 'black' screen. I have tried pressing the Home button but it does not open my ipad.
    I have tried connecting to Itunes and updaing which it does (there is about 50% battery left) in Itunes on my computer, but my ipad does not open.
    I bought the above ipad online at the Apple Store here in Australia on the 14th June 2012.
    I luv my ipad and am keen to get it working again.
    I know there are some amazing helpers out there in ipad land. Could you please suggest what I should do as it is not operating at the moment.
    I'll await your thoughts
    Many thanks
    Allan : Brisbane/Australia

    Gees : sorry everyone. I posted my problem then noted on the RHS reading pane that some of you geniuses suggested to hold down the Home Button with the On/Off Button : its a MIRACLE !
    It is now working like a dream.
    Many thanks again : this is a terrific source of info
    Best wishes again

  • Adobe photoshop elements 12 will not open photo editor crashes every time.

    My elements 12 does the same thing I have seen written here over and over. Can not open editor, crashes every time. It is updated, reinstalled and administrator is set. Does anyone from Adobe read these boards?

    I asked you to try that because one thing that often happens is that the dock icon gets corrupted, and it's best to get the simple obvious problems out of the way first.
    What do you mean by "several students"? Is this in a classroom situation? Are these computers all on a school intranet together? We tend to assume here that you are talking about a personal version and a problem with your own computer, not an institutional installation, unless you specify otherwise.
    If this is your personal computer, the next thing to do is to delete the prefernces. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 12 paths
    and any lockfiles with the same names. To see the user library in 10.9, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in the library, go to the saved application states folder and delete anything in there for PSE.
    Repair permissions and try again.

  • I imported a photo to iphoto (ver9.6) but the edit mode will not open.

    I imported a photo to iPhoto (ver 9.6) but when I click on Edit, nothing happens; I am not able to open the Edit Mode.
    How do I fix this?

    Perhaps the original of the photo is missing. You can check this by selecting the photo and using the command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original File". Is this command available and can iPhoto show the original?

  • Photoshop Edit function will not open. Windows 8

    After loading and using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I initially used the Edit on one occasion. I then went to use it again and it gives me the Photoshop graphic, but would not launch / open the Edit option.
    I checked the "Properties" tab on the Program and it stated it was set up for Windows XP Service Pack 3. I looked at other options listed and it only went up to Windows 7.
    I purchased it for Windows 8 from Amazon and it does have it printed on the box that it is for the latest Windows 8.
    Can you tell me if this can be fixed or whether I have been sold a product that is wrongly configured and will need replacing.

    Hello RJA,
    Are you saying that in the Compatibilty tab of the properties dialog for the application, the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" is set to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3"?
    If so, uncheck that box. Press OK. Then try and start PSE again. If that works, great. If not, then exit. Right-click on the shortcut, choose Properties again, Compatibility tab, and check the box to run as Administrator (assuming you are using an admin account in Windows). If it all strarts fine, then exit again. Go back to the Compatibilty tab and make sure that the Run as Administrator is unchecked.
    Try to start it normally. Does it now start and run OK?
    Take care, Mike

  • Premiere Elements 8 - Edited video will not open

    Hoping I can get some assistance from the gurus here!  I have recently completed editing a video and uploaded to the video to the Adobe online sharing site.  Problem is I cannot access it from the online site, nor will it load/display when I attempt to open from Premiere Elements.  Trying not to panic; any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Just to make sure that I am following you, you have completed the editing on a Project in PrE 8, and then did a Share to your account on Adobe.Com. For some reason, that file is not displaying on your Adobe.Com account, or at least you cannot get to it Is that correct?
    Back in the original Project, can you do another Export/Share to another output AV file?
    As I have never used the personal Adobe.Com site, I cannot be of any help to you there, but others know the processes and mechanics, and will likely be able to assist.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
