IPhoto 9 won't save changes to file

After i'm done editing a photo and click the done button, everything is fine if I view the photos inside iPhoto, BUT if I got to the actual location on my HDD where the file is being held, none of the changes have been applied. How can I force iPhoto to save the changes without using the export option, because it would be too slow to export all the images one by one.
This problem came up after I was trying to upload the images to my server and discovered that none of the changes had been saved.

Another problem I am having with iPhoto... when i delete a photo, the original still remains on the HDD, so theoretically it's impossible to delete photos via iPhoto.
That is incorrect - when you delete photos in iPhoto (move to the iPhoto trash and empty the iPhoto trash) the photos are totally deleted - nothing outside of the iPhoto library is affected - iPhoto manages the photos you import and nothing else including the source of the photo
And another issue, when i want to view images in full screen, i go to the location where they are, and double click the image, it opens up in preview, however, i can't just hop on to the next one, i have to close the preview first and then open up the next images. It's quite frustration, on windows you just use the right/left arrow keys to switch back and fourth in full screen.
It is strongly recommended that you do NOT "go to the location" where the photo is
iPhoto is a relational database and it is strongly recommended that you use the proper tools for accessing it - go into it and using preview is not a good idea - nor is is needed
In iPhoto you can select the photo you want and hit the space bar to enlarge it to full screen - and use the arrow keys to scroll through photos
It just seems that windows is much more user friendly when it comes to manipulating images. Or am I wrong ?
You are very wrong - with windows you are not manipulating images - you are playing with files - with iPhoto you are managing photos - totally different concept - and there is a learning curve -- the first thing to learn is to forget about managing files and start thinking about managing photos -- taking the iPhoto tutorials is a great way to start this process -- http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ -- I recommend that you go through all 22 of them

  • Pages won't save changes to files

    This has happened twice already in a row: I perform changes to a file, and Pages will later on display a previous version of that same file. As a consequence, I lose ALL of the changes I have done.
    This had not happened before, and I'm running an updated version of the app.
    Did anyone have the same problem and was able to solve it?
    Thank you.

    I am trying to do a resume (used one of the templetes on Pages).  When I change the font and the color of the font and try to save it as a .doc, then I get out of it and get back into the document, it doesn't save it.  In fact it, when I save it and then go back in one time the color has changed back to the original, then the next time I save what I want and go back in, the text in one line has changed back to a different font.  It just goes back and forth like this when I save the document.  This is only happening in the header.  Please help.  I have tried to change and save what I want for hours now but what I want the font and color to look like is not "sticking".
    If you save the document as a .doc do you get the changes in that document?
    Do you mean by " get back into the document, it doesn't save it" that it isn't saved in Pages? If you haven't saved the Pages document it will not remember your changes. If you mean that the template you have used doesn't remember your changes it doesn't, never, because the template is just that. You have to save the changed document as a template and it will be saved in "My Templates" and found in the template chooser.

  • PSE 12 won't save the tiff file over the original, but brings up save as window

    I've solved (or had help) solving this problem before:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5893872#5893872
    I am using PSE 12 as a photo editor for Aperture 3.5.1 and the photo is duplicated (as a tiff) in Aperture and PSE editor opens with the image.  When I close the file and say to save the file it brings up the save as window.
    The fix from the earlier discussion worked fine at first, but now, even though I tell PSE 12 to "on first save -- save over current file" it now brings up the "save as" window and won't save over the file (changes the file type from .tiff to .tif)
    Has something changed?

    Go to the editore preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor, then try again (You will need to reset the saving files pref first):

  • After 9.5.1 iphoto doesn't save changes in its library

    Since I've updated iphoto to v9.5.1, iphoto doesn't save changes made to the library.
    When I
    - delete event
    - import event from aperture
    - import pictures
    everything goes well until I close and reopen iphoto. Than everything is the same as when I opened iphoto before the changes.
    So it doesn't save the changes in its library.
    Anyone experiencing the same problem?  Or anyone who has a solution?

    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 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. .

  • How to block displaying message "Save changes to file 'Test1' " in BEx?

    Hello, dear colleagues!
    Do You know how to block displaying message "Save changes to file 'Test1' " in BEx?
    I need some BEx setting which can block it and make it the same way as You close common Excel workbook without any changes made to it after opening e.g. without any messages, just clicking the cross. 
    Thank You all very much in advance!

    from time to time i am working with macroses, but they are not good for the report's reliability.
    maybe You have some example of such macros?
    UPDATE:
    I have tried to edit event, called WorkbookBeforeClose in module BExEventHandler, adding there such a line:
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    but no result. maybe there are some other ways of solving this problem?
    Edited by: vtb777 on Nov 22, 2011 6:26 AM
    UPDATE-2:
    I got such a code, but it doesn't work:
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    If MsgBox("Save changes to file? " & Name, vbYesNo, "") = vbNo Then
       Cancel = True
    End If
    End Sub

  • Address book won't save changes to note field

    Like the header says. Address book won't save changes to note field. There's another thread with the same header:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2591053?threadID=2591053  But it's archived so I had to post this new one.
    If I made a change in any non-note field however, it would stay.
    Note: the notes field can be edited with actually having to go into official "edit" mode. Does this make it more prone to corruption? Why would Apple make the notes field NOT need that extra step of protection. Do they think my notes aren't as important?  How would they know?
    I fixed this one card with a bandaid solution by exporting it and reimporting it.  But I guess I need to do that with all 2,000 of my contacts now. It was mentioned on theother thread that somebody made an address book backup and then deleted every contact in the address book and imported them fresh from the backup and that worked.
    The underlyilng issue is still not solved though. How could this happpen in the first place, and how do I know what other contacts haven't held lthe changes I thought I made?

    Hi,
    Using the Note field
    You can add notes to any contact in Address Book. This makes it easy to keep track of details about a person in your address book.
    Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card.
    The Note field can be edited at any time, even if the card is not in edit mode.
    You could make a dedicated field that requires the edit button...
    Using custom labels
    You can change the label that appears next to a piece of information on a contact's card. For example, you might want to change "work" to "support" next to a phone number.
    Select the contact that you want to change.
    Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
    Click the label next to a field, then choose Custom from the pop-up menu.
    Enter a new label for the field.
    The new custom label appears on this contact's card only.
    If you want to change a specific label on all cards in your Address Book, edit the card template. Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template. The Template pane also allows you to add other types of fields on contact cards, such as a nickname, job title, birthday, anniversary, and URL. Use the Add Field menu.

  • IPhoto won't save photos after using crop feature...

    Okay, I don't understand if I am doing something wrong or what, but I am trying to crop and iPhoto doesn't save the pics.
    This is what I am doing...I open a picture in iPhoto, click the 'crop' button, then drag the borders where I want it to crop, then I click 'done.' The 'saving changes' box with the blue & white progress bar never pops upadn ,it just shoots me back to the thumbnail screen. When I look at the file, nothing has been cropped, and I even reopen the file, and again, nothing cropped.
    If I open a picture and use the 'effects' button and make changes, it saves with no problem. It just doesn't want to save any crops.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sportscrazed33:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to hit the crop button after selecting the area to crop. If you're cropping to a predetermined ratio that's in the Constrain menu it will automatically select an area to crop that you can then adjust. You don't need to hit the Crop button before selecting the area. Then hit the Done button. It's not intuitive but that's the way it is.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto: After I've changed the file name/format in Finder iPhoto can't load/relink to the referenced file.

    After I've changed the file name/format in Finder iPhoto can't load/relink to the referenced file anymore. For some reasons I don't like to reimport the file.

    Hmm the advice has been not to use referenced libraries - you ignored and did it anyway and you find the advise not helpful
    Furthermore the advice is that if you choose to use a referenced library that you assure that the path never changes - you also choose to ignore that advice and do it anyway - and you blame the peopson trying to help you
    once again - you have one choice - change the file names back and put the files back in the exact same place - and again you are totally ignoring the advice and instead name calling and attacking the person giving you advice
    Maybe life would be easier if you followed advice rather than ignoring it and then complaining that things no longer work
    change the name back and you will be fine until the next problem you hit that is caused by choosing a referenced library
    Have a nice day

  • Save changes to file

    I am using Lightroom 2.1 on Vista.
    Afer I am done developing a set of pictures how do I get the edits to save to the file so that I can upload the pictures to facebook?

    I have no idea. I have never done facebook. My students do it a lot but I guess this is one of those generational things that I don't understand at all (it annoys the hell out of me). I use Jeffrey's outstanding flickr and smugmug export plugins and they work beautifully so I assume his facebook plugin must be outstanding as well.

  • Photoshop Elements 4.0 won't save changes for IPhoto 6.0.2.

    At some point following installation of IPhoto 6.0.2, a problem appeared during editing photos with IPhoto preferences set for opening in Photoshop Elements 4.0: When I hit "save", the following dialog box appears: "could not build a preview because of a program error." My edited changes are lost and don't appear back into IPhoto. (On force-quitting PhotoShop Elements, I now CAN properly save the changes back to IPhoto.) Or sometimes Photoshop Elements “unexpectedly quits” during the editing attempt.
    The problem was not solved by reinstalling Photoshop Elements 4 and is similar on two different computers (IMac G4 and PowerBook G4).
    I assume the problem resides with IPhoto (presumably v 6.0.2), not Photoshop Elements. Even though I have my IPhoto Library backed up on a Lacie external hard drive, I've hesitated tweaking my IPhoto program (such as to ditch preferences or reinstall).
    Any suggestions?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Lori, thanks a million! The answer does seem to have been found in the Adobe forum you suggested: It suggests going to user>library>preferences folder and delete Adobe Save for Web prefs. A friend also suggested saving Photoshop Elements edited changes by using "save as" as opposed to "save" which gives another (slightly tedious) fix that translates back to IPhoto.

  • Firefox won't save changes I make to the applications actions panel. Specifically, changing pdf files to open in Firefox

    If I change the option to "Use Adobe acrobat in Firefox", the next time I open Firefox, it will have reverted its setting back to "Use adobe Acrobat 7.0"

    Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.<br />
    You need to (re)install software that was affected.<br />
    Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.

  • System preferences won't save changes

    When making changes in my system preferences, say changing the screensaver, the change does not save. When I go back into the preferences, they have reverted back to the previous setting. It's also doing the same thing with Safari. When I delete all website info in the preferences, it reverts back to the previous. I just upgraded to 10.7.1, but it was doing it before with 10.6 as well. Any idea what's causing this?

    Possible conflicting or corrupted files, usually preference files. Step one is create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if changes persist.

  • CS3 won't save changed resolution

    I keep saving image files at 350 resolution, sized the way I want but after saving programs reverts files to 240 resolution.  How do I fix this?  Any resolution I save at it keeps putting everything at 240 and that also changes the image size.

    The pixels do change.  It stays the same when I save as a psd but not a jpg and I need it in the jpg format to send to printer.  I have been having this issue for a few weeks now but never before and I've used this program a lot.  My new document preset resolution is set at 300 but it keeps coming up as 240?  Why is it stuck on that? 

  • IPhoto does not save changes made to picture properly

    Hi everyone,
    I just started using iPhoto, and that my first problem: when I edit photo information (f.e. change the name of the photo) in the information panel at the iPhoto window left-bottom corner, these changes are accessible via iPhoto only. It means, that if I copy a picture to my friends computer (by dragging it from iPhoto) all this information is not preserved. The same is when I drag picture to desktop (it looses name info) and when i reimport back to library (no new names already). When after changing the name I check iPhoto originals/modified/data foldes, new names are nowhere to be seen (file names are old ones). The same problem is when I send photos with email - attaching photo from library does not preserve the name.
    Does this has to do with some settings I am not aware of? Could I change something to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    Instead of dragging, try using the Share > Export option and under 'Name:' make sure to select 'Use Title'...
