IPhoto Editing Issue

I bought a new Mac mini, i can open iPhoto, and I can see the groups of photos, but when I try to open one to edit it I just get a black screen.
When I adjust the zoom on the bottom left I get a really small version of the picture, but I can't get the picture bigger on my screen.
I tried all the rebuilding options, and nothing seems to fix the issue.
I don't have any screen issues to speak of otherwise. I'm using a USB 3.0 Targus docking station to send to my 2 dual screen Samsung monitors.
Mac Mini 10.10.1 with Intel Iris (Late 2014)
iPhoto 9.6
<Subject Edited by Host>

This is all I get. Only after I adjust the slider for zoom on the bottom left. It isn't adjustable, I can't make it bigger. It's all I can see...and frustrating.
If I don't adjust the zoom slider on the bottom, I don't even get that picture in the middle. its just black.
All I did was synch my photo stream which is on my iCloud account. I didn't import from prior Mac version as this is a new Mac, our first.

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: 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.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:

Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9. I make changes, they
look OK so I save it. When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made. However when I go
back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
This means it can't find the original. They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening? Why does it look like the changes
are make and then I can't find them?

I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

>> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

IPhoto edits saving as zero kb?

I'm having some very frustrating issues with photo editing in iPhoto. Some photos edit completely fine, whereas with others the edited file will save as 0KB. On a few occasions reverting the file back to it's original and re-editing and saving seems to work. On other occasions nothing I try will work.
I have been using a Samsung camera for a number of years and have never had issues with either iPhoto or the camera. I recently bought a Nikon Coolpix which is when the editing issues began. I also used a newer and high MP Coolpix with the same iPhoto and had similar issues.
I'm using iPhoto '09. Version 8.1.2
Can anyone help me with a solution to this issue?
Thanks

Sounds like you may have to reinstall iPhoto. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Then install iPhoto from the source it came on originally and apply all available updaters.

In the iPhoto editing tools, what is the purpose of the tool "Definition". What does it do?

In the iPhoto editing tools, what is the purpose of the tool "Definition". What is it used for? I did an iPhoto Book; a few photos were a little "off".

It quite literally adds definition to the photo. Don't ask my the technical procedure for this, but it makes more details visible in the photo.

Why iCal cancel of event edits issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?

Why iCal "cancel of event edits" issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?
I have been in the software engineering industry for over 14 years, but I have never seen a large corporation being so slow at addressing major issues like these.
What would it take for Apple to start working on this issue?

Yup. This is fully ridiculous that you can't cancel your updates once you start. I love the tool but this is on pretty significant issue.
Sometimes I accidentally move a mtg or make some edit while viewing and you can't back you!!
If you feel the same way, you should post a note here:

IPhoto editing results in black patches on photos - new problem

Hello everyone - I am experiencing a brand new problem with iPhoto editing. Have used the editing feature for four years without incident. Since upgrading operating software a few weeks ago, I now experience sudden blackout patches on photos as soon as I click on the "Adjust" setting in the "Edit" mode.
Here are a few details on my set-up and problem:
iPhoto version: iPhoto'09 - Version 8.1.2
Operating System: OSX Version 10.9.1
Details - Black rectangular patches appear in either sections of photos, or completely obscure the photo whenever I click on "Adjust" in the "Edit" mode. Only way out of this situation is to hit "Escape" key
Did it every work properly? Yes, for four years I never had any problems. Liked the ease of the editing features in iPhoto. Very recently upgraded operating system to version noted above. Problem occurring since that time.
Error message? No
What steps taken to date? None yet - Seeking assistance through this forum. Thanks in advance.

Citrix Netscaler AppXpert with Sharepoint 2010 Page Edit Issue

Posting this as a questions and discussion point.
The issue is in using Citrix Netscaler with AppXpert with SharePoint 2010. I've seen this issue for two customers.
Configurations:
- Citrix Netscaler as the load Balancer
- Netscaler AppXpert for SharePoint deployed on Netscaler (using either AppXpert version 1.1 or 2.0)
- SharePoint 2010 Standard or Enterprise editions
Issue:
A SharePoint user with appropriate rights go to a SharePoint page. They choose Edit page, make changes and want to save changes. At this point all SharePoint ribbon options on the top are greyed out. End result, users are not able to make changes to their
site pages. Issue happens for everyone including Farm Admins.
Cases:
a. The users are able to edit and save SharePoint wiki pages if I point user's PC to the SharePoint web server WFE by changing their local host file.
b. On Citrix Netscaler, if I use the traditional load balancing i.e. without Citrix AppXpert, then the users are able to edit and save the pages. That is an option if the customer is using SharePoint 2010 Standard. That is not an option if a customer is
using InfoPath forms. InfoPath is a feature of SharePoint 2010 Enterprise edition. Citrix AppXpert for SharePoint is needed to make the InfoPath work. Else the users get session errors when they use InfoPath Web forms.
c. The issue happens on almost all combination of OS and browser. XP, vista, Win 7, Win8, Win8.1, IE8, 9, 10, 11 and other browsers like chrome etc as well.
Please share your ideas and suggestions.

Hi Faisal,
As I understand, the issue will be solved when end users directly connect to SharePoint WFE servers. Since the issue is related to third party products, I'd recommend you contact their support engineer for sufficient resource and assistance. For your convenience:

Should you need more assistance, let me know. Thanks for the understanding.

Aperture Loses iPhoto Edited Images

Hello,
I need help on importing iPhoto libraries.
I have 22 iPhoto libraries (iPhoto 8.1.2, 140GB total for all libraries) on an iMac 27, OS 10.6.8, and am importing into Aperture 3.2.2. I imported each iPhoto library separately and rebuilt their thumbnails before each import. It was my understanding that Aperture would import the original iPhoto images as well as the edited images along with metadata. Now I have discovered that in my case it does this sometimes but not always. When it does work Aperture shows two images in a stack, the iPhoto edited image (with the keywords "iPhoto Edited" added, and the iPhoto original image (with the keywords "iPhoto Original" added). This is what I would expect. However, there are many images that I edited in iPhoto that show up in Aperture as just a image, the one that was edited in iPhoto. The iPhoto original image is not there. Aperture has added the keywords "iPhoto Converted" (whatever that means) and "iPhoto Original" (which it is not) to this photo. If I go back to these images in iPhoto and do a revert to original, iPhoto reverts the edit back to the (true) original image. So,both the original and edited images are in iPhoto.
I have rebooted the Mac and repaired permissions but that didn't help.
Getting my Aperture library setup has been a struggle and I appreciate all the help I have gotten. It looks like I still need more. Thanks!
Mike

Hello Leonie,
You were right on - many thanks! I thought I was facing having to start over again.
I have found Apple's Aperture User's Guide very useful but nowhere in its 907 pages have I found your instructions described or "iPhoto Converted" defined.
It works as you described and I have some comments: (1) After the resetting all adjustments in Aperture the new version continues to have these same keyword tags as before the reset. The adjustment badge is gone and the version number is appended to the image name. (2) I also used "New Version from Master" on some iPhoto edited photos. This creates a new version; however, all the adjustments, keywords and badges were deleted, but the version number is appended to the name. (3) I tried "Show Master Image". This apparently only works in Split View & Viewer (dimmed out in Browser). When I do this the adjustments are apparently not changed except for crops which are removed (this seems odd). Keywords and badges are not changed. There is no version number, of course, and the image is identified as a master image. (4) I am curious about why using Aperture's iPhoto Browser to import photos results in two photos, the iPhoto original and the iPhoto edited. They have the appropriate iPhoto Edited or iPhoto Original tags; however, except for rotation and cropping the iPhoto adjustments appear to have been reset. The edited ones do not have an adjustment badge, even though it was adjusted in iPhoto. All the images have a keyword badge and Aperture has added a keyword which it the title of the iPhoto album or event the photo came from. They all have a Master Image label at the top. I duplicated one of the iPhoto edited images. The duplicate displayed a Master Image label and Reset All Adjustment was dimmed.
I would appreciate your observations on these comments.
Aperture is an impressive piece of software and thanks to your help I think I am finally ready to start using it!

IPhoto editing on iPad

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an answer on it.
I want to edit (by edit, I mean add faces, locations and album names to my photo's) on my iPad. Will iPhoto editing be available on the iPad sometime soon? Or can anyone advise if there is an app where I can edit my photo's and those edit will be synced back to my Mac?
Thanks :]

You cannot do what you are trying to do on the iPad in the current iOS. Here are the presumed photo features for iOS 5 to be released in the fall.
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos
It does not talk specifically about the features that you are asking about, but mentions photo editing and photo organization on the iPad - albums and so on. Will it be a clone of iPhoto? - nobody will know until it is released.
For now you must use a third party app from the app store to edit and/or organize. Once you edit on the iPad, the resolution is lower (optimized for the iPad) than the photos than you sync from iPhoto so if you do edit on the iPad and copy them back into iPhoto - keep that in mind.

I want to use iPhoto editing on occasion but......

I want to keep Photoshop as my main editing tool. The iPhoto program is good for removing red eye but I can't access it now that I have editing set for Photoshop. Any way to be able to use the iPhoto editing program while at the same time keeping the default editing in Photoshop?
Thanks.

Right click on the photo and you get a menu that allows you to use iPhoto or the extrnal editor

Viewing and Editing Issues with iPhoto 09

While I have enjoyed the new features of iPhoto 09 vs iPhoto 08, there are two differences that may be bugs or may be "new features." The first is that while viewing images within an event, the image zoom slider in the lower right corner of the window will no longer zoom an image to full view within the image browser. I only get a minimum of three images left to right. Any ideas why I can't zoom fully without opening the edit window or clicking on the image to zoom it to full screen (not within the image browser)?
The second question has to do with editing. When I take a portrait image and open the editing window, the image is rotated into landscape mode. This did not happen in iPhoto 08. Is anyone else seeing this? If so, is this a new "feature" or a bug?
All of all of my images are stored as RAW file format.

Thank you both.
For the image viewing, I'll accept that things sometime change. In fact, if you click once on an image so that it is highlighted, you can go in and out of zoom by touching the space bar, and then navigate with the left and right arrows at full screen.
When I encounter an image that has a rotation issue in edit, I'll use Revert to Original to fix the image.
I've been using iLife/iPhoto since they first came out years ago, and the interface generally added things, not remove them...oh, well, in iPhoto 09, the good clearly outweighs the bad. I only wish I now had a camera with built-in GPS, but I've still been having fun entering locations for all of my photos.
