IPhoto corrupts the view of my Nikon D800 photos when zooming or switching to edit mode

I am viewing RAW files from a Nikon D800. Initially the files show correctly but after a while the views starts corrupting when I zoom in and sometimes when I enter the edit mode. The files themselves are ok, it is just the preview that corrupts.
Once this has happened the only way to restore normality is to reboot the iMac. Closing and reopening iPhoto does not fix it.
I am using iPhoto 9.5.1 on OSX 10.9.4 (iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2010).
I have a Nikon D7000 as well and editing these photos I have no problems. Perhaps it is the larger file size...?
Example of the corruption attached.

That could be an issue with the graphics card.
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?
If it is, switch to another user account and repeat the test there.

Assertion Failed with switching between editing mode of table view

I'm writing an app that can switching between edit mode of a table view
- in edit mode a new line appear at the bottom
- out edit mode this line will disappear
I used insertRowsAtIndexPath and deleteRowsAtIndexPath to achieve this effect, but then during testing, if I switching edit mode too frequently, I got an assertion failure
Assertion failed: (cache->size >= g->size), function evictglyph_entry_fromcache, file Fonts/CGFontCache.c, line 836.
It seems someone has also encountered this before, but I have found no solution yet. Anyone know how to fix it or work around it?

Does iPhoto 11 support RAW files from Nikon D800?

Does iPhoto 11 support Raw files from a Nikon D800 or do I need to upgrade to Apeture? I am running 10.7.4. and currently use iPhoto '09

Aperature and iPhoto use the same RAW support - you probably need to upgrade to iPhoto '11 - purchase from the App store, backup your iPhoto library and upgrade - the RAW support list is here

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?

Every time I open Firefox 8.01, on my WinXP laptop, the "bookmarks" toolbar disappears but the checkmark in the view/toolbars menu is still checked when I reopen it, just no bookmarks toolbar showing on screen, Is There A Fix For This?

I've tried everything including reinstalling Firefox. It began after a new WinXP update. If I go into the view file and uncheck, then check the bookmarks toolbar it shows up and functions fine but to have to do this every time I open the browser is annoying and it just started happening

Hi,
The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:
Firefox Menu > Customize
On the bottom left there will be Show/Hide Toolbars. The Menu will be listed here.

Why in the Viewer my video looks perfect but when in Canvas its bad?

I record videos on my computer (I use a screen capture program called Screen Flick) I put my video into FCE 4 and in the Viewer it looks perfect! then ill put it in the timeline render and everything and ill play the clip and in the canvas its all blurry and not as sharp and just looks plain bad! I really dont think its the way I export it from ScreenFlick because it plays and looks perfect before i put it into FCE and watch it in the canvas. Please if anyone knows how to fix this tell me!
-Grant

The main problem here is going to be your frame rate, as FCE only supports frame rates of 25 or 29.97fps. You could try to convert the files using the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to *Apple Intermediate Codec* at 29.97fps, and then using that in a 1280x720 sequence within FCE. However, you might find that the only way to get the quality you want would be to edit with a program that supports custom frame rates.

I down loaded ACR 6.7 for CS5 so that the raw files for Nikon D800 would work. But they still don't open

What else do I have to do so the raw files will open in bridge?

Well, it says I already have the most recent version. However Google Plus still says my version is out of date.
A friend suggested I back up my bookmarks, then try uninstalling & reinstalling Firefox the traditional way, and rebooting my system afterwards.
I'm going to try that to see if there is some kind of other issue going on between Google Plus and all of the websites that say my browser is out of date (ie. version 3.5) when it is not.
Thanks!
ps. I did try what you suggested, and that's where I found out my browser version is current.

Thumbnail in browser doesnot match the pic in the view for many of my photo

I have noticed today after having loaded my library and several project with photo's 2500 or so that several thumbnails when high lighted actual bring up a differnet image. ( i.e. the thumbnail image does not match the image in the work screen area.) what is happening? i take it is a file name problem but i cannot get the correct thumbnail to match work area and the thumbnail in browser will not appear in work area to work on.

I have had the same problem with A 1.5.3 and OS X 10.4.9 - the problem started when I moved some pictures from one project to another, then it suddenly switched thumbs on a series of pictures. They simply showed each others thumbs while the image was the opposite. I "fixed" it by making adjustments to each image and then undo. Then the thumbs were updated correctly. This has to be a bug in Aperture.

Burned iPhoto libraries from 2002 show up as 0 photos when re-opened

I have iPhoto libraries from 2002 (and possibly other years) burned to CD's that when re-opened in iPhoto show up in the album list but show as 0 photos. Newer burned to disc libraries are available but the old ones are not. The burned photos are available on the disc by exiting iPhoto and going through all the folder prompts, so the jpeg images are there. The disc also has the data and thumbnail folders. Is there some kind of update that is needed?

If TD's suggestion is unsuccessful open the library folder and drag the Originals folder to the Desktop.
Then drag the subfolders in the Originals folder, a few at a time< into your open iPhoto window. That will import the original files into Events with the same names as the subfolders have.

What is the best approach to sync an iPhone when I've switched to a new computer?

Hi everybody. The problem is the old issue related to the fact that I can sync my iPhone with only one iTunes library, even if I sync my device manually.
So, I've moved to a new laptop and need to sync the iPhone with this new device. The iPhone was previosly sync with the old computer.
I've connected the iPhone and transferred any itunes purchase to the itunes library, so I assume that my songs, books, movies, apps have been passed to the itunes library.
But now I need to manage the sync process as the itunes warns me that it will erase any content in the iphone. So, what about my photos, contacts, sms, etc? They will be erased...
So, what is the correct process to manage this situation?
Thanks.

Thanks wjosten, you guide is nice and clear. What seems to me strange are your point below:
7. Right click again and select "Backup".
8. Right click again & select "Restore from Backup", select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
At point #7 I backup the actual conent of the phone (I assume sms, contacts, ring tones, photos, videos, etc.) and I thought I had to manage a restore at the end of the sync. On the contrary you say to restore it just after the backup. Any reason for that?
More, my iPhone is actually setup to do backup to iCloud:
Do I need to switch to local backup otpion instead?
Thanks.

Has anyone solved their LR4 / Nikon D800 RAW NEF issues?

I've done a lot of reading on this topic and think I have a handle on how easily the new D800 NEF files can be corrupted by the older versions of Nikon Transfer.
When I began using the camera I accidently made the mistake of corrupting them and haven't had any issues since... until yesterday.
I photographed last night, and imported about 160 RAW NEF files onto my brand new Macbook Pro with Retina for a same day preview for the host. I transfered the images using ViewNX2 & by association it's built-in Nikon Transfer 2 utility. I used the built in SD Card reader on the Macbook which has always worked in the past. But alas!!!!! While they imported fine, LR4 can't import them and gives me the error "Preview Unavailable at this Time". I should note... Nikon Transfer 2 was set to clear the card after the transfer .
Nikon ViewNX2 can see the images and I'd hoped to fix the issue by just converting them to JPEG's but, no bueno. It tells me it can't. This is the precise issue I can into when I accidently used the original version months ago on my iMac. But it's impossible that I have the old version on this unit. It's less than a month old and I'd downloaded the most recent version from Nikon. So I'm running under the assumption that the file is somehow corrupted.
I've seen a lot of people running into issues getting used to the new workflow requied to deal with these enormous RAW's.
Here's the all important question. After the files have an issue... is there anyway to recover them??? I can't retake them, the original shots were wiped from the card. So what do I do? At least Nikon View can see them, so I have to believe that there is some image information there.
Has anyone sucessfully fixed the issue?
Going forward I plan to just import everything directly through LR4, so I think that'll aliviate future heartburn... but what's my "undo" solution?
I know there's a lot that's been written on this topic and really appriciate the support!

What Bob Frost just posted (after fixing the hidden http// part of the URL) worked for the image you uploaded, so try that:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
BTW, I answered 14 to the bit-depth-12-or-14 question the utility asked, and it worked ok on the example corrupted NEF.
Below is what I was typing up and testing before posting, and works to extract the embedded JPG Preview, but does not actually fix the corrupted NEFs, which is a better solution. I am including it, below, for reference in case someone without corrupted NEFs also wants to extract JPGs from their raw files. It uses the same tool from Phil Harvey without his customizations to work specifically with corrupted NEFs.
== Original Message ==
The raw data in the NEF you uploaded appears corrupted or otherwise unusable because when viewing in Windows Explorer using the latest Nikon NEF Codec that supports the D800, all I see is a small thumbnail then black with a few parts of color, however for that one file, at least, the embedded JPG preview is intact, and 7360 x 4912 in size, enough to see the camera-shake blur.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9905000/JBR_20120910_175757.jpg
I’m on a PC and you’re on a Mac but the same tool is available - exiftool a command-line program you run in terminal (on a Mac) or in a Command Prompt window on a PC:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
If what you download includes a (-k) then remove it by renaming before attempting to run the command, below. On Windows I would rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe without the (–k) part. The (-k) tells exiftool to display the exif information by default if you drag-and-drop to it. While this is normally useful, for the purpose of extracting JPGs from NEFs this might be confusing so I’m suggesting to rename the executable before using it.
Here is the command-line to extract the fullsize JPG from the NEFs and then copy the metadata tags from the NEF to the newly written JPG:
.\exiftool -b -JpgFromRaw -w %d%f_%ue.jpg -execute -tagsfromfile @ -srcfile %d%f_%ue.jpg -overwrite_original -common_args --ext jpg .
The above command assumes both the exiftool executable and all the NEFs are in the current folder. The current folder is designated by a single period both at the very beginning and the very end of the command-line. If exiftool is in a different folder, then supply that path instead of the initial period, and if the NEFs are in a different folder, substitute that folder-name for the final period. The final period has a space separating it from the preceding –ext jpg.
It is also assumed that only NEFs and the executable are in the current folder. If there are other files, they may confuse things so you might want to move things to a temporary working folder, and I’d suggest working with a copy of the NEFs just in case something goes haywire, you’re not overwriting the originals, corrupt as they may be.
For reference, the above command-line was simplified from a more complex example that didn’t quite work with your file, one that conditionally extracts either the full-size JPG or the tiny JPG-thumbnail. The example is the last one in the Copying Examples section, here:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#copying_examples

Nikon D800 "and" CS6 Bridge Preview

Mac Pro, 10.7.5, Adobe CS6 suite recently updated. I am encountering problem of viewing images from Nikon D800 in Bridge Preview. The image thumbnails are displayed in Content, and able to open images in Camera Raw and Photoshop. What do I need to do to view images in Preview once selected from Content? -Rob

Thanks for the tip. However the problem "corrected" itself. I think after updating, Bridge had to reset/refresh. I now see any selected images from Content in the Preview panel/window. The problem was that if clicked on image in Content, I wouldn't see anything in Preview. Thanks for that purging tip. That might come in handy.

Nikon D800 thetering with LR 4.x?

will LR4.1 support thetering with Nikon D800 - or when will ist be able?

Same here. If you save as "Lossless Compressed" from Capture NX, Adobe software (LR 4.3, DNG Converter, and Photoshop CS5 for me) shows the corrupt preview you described or says "There was an error working with the photo." Regular compressed is fine; Lossless is the problem.
Unfortunately, CNX bakes in the lossless compressed format, and you cannot re-save in another format (uncompressed, or just plain compressed). See screenshot. Do you have backups? Alternatively, save a TIFF.
Every other raw converter I can find (on Mac) reads these files just fine, so I think it's an Adobe issue rather than an actually corrupt file.
