IPhoto is being difficult with exporting and previewing

I recently bought my Mac Pro off of a friend. He still had it under his name, and I changed it to my name under system preferences. I think it messed up the uploading, exporting, importing, and viewing of my pictures. I can upload them to the computer fine, but when I go to export or view them in iPhoto, all I get is a black screen. Exporting, and it tells me unable to create "users/(friends name)/documents/" Any help would be appreciated and I don't want to lose my pictures. I've already tried to rebuild the library with iPhoto Manager and with iPhoto itself. Thanks for the help!

It's a question of what exactly you did when you "changed it to my name under system preferences".
This is not exactly what you're looking for, but, IMHO, the best thing to do is to back up your photos (make sure they are the photos—double-clicking on one of them should open Preview) and anything else you want to keep to an external hard drive; then start up from the Install DVD, erase the internal disk (this destroys all data on the disk), re-install the OS from scratch, re-install your apps from the original installers, and restore your photos and docs.
This way, you start with a clean slate, which is what you want to do with a used computer (Mac or Win doesn't matter).

  • Logic is being difficult with exporting track as audio.

    I have midi tracks, and I want to export them as audio tracks so that I can edit them as audio files. When I export the midi track as an audio, it doesn't start at the beginning of the project. it is starting somewhere else on certain tracks. Logic is starting to tick me off. Or maybe it is just user error ticking me off...

    well, you can drag the beginning marker to the left into the negative numbers. Thus, making the project start in the negatives. The reason I do that is because I am running a click track. The first measure of clicks are quarter clicks, the second measure is 8th clicks. Then the music begins at the 3rd measure. In order to get the measure numbers in Logic to be the same as the measure numbers in the sheet music, I have to start the click at measure -1. This way, the music starts on measure 1.

    Old EXP IMP doesnt have capability to append the row, since you're using 10g use datapump instead. use option TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPENDso my import should be like this

    Did you look up the command line syntax and control options for imp?
    You should make it a habit that whenever anyone - especially a stranger on the web - gives you a bit of code or references a command or init parm or any some such, the VERY FIRST thin you should ALWAYS do is look it up for yourself and see exactly where and how it is used and what it means. That is how you grow beyond having to be spoon fed every little thing and become more self-sufficient.
    If you had, you would have seen that there is no TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION option for imp and seen that it is an option for impdp. And realized that exp and imp are NOT the same thing as expdp and impdp.

    - Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

  • My iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    my iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
    Which version of iPhoto?
    If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder  (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
    If that does not work, contact The App Store Support  from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
    Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID.

  • Video quality difficulties with Vimeo and Youtube sites and with smart phone

    Ever since the Vimeo and Youtube sites have changed, it has been pretty difficult to get the video quality I had before. I'm using Final Cut Express to edit, Quicktime Player to resize the video to 640x480 (is too wide when saving FCE project as Quicktime movie), and Jes Deinterlacer to remove all of the jaggies that the original deinterlacing on FCE doesn't fully do (skateboarding video). I'm aware Final Cut Express 4 is a discontinued product, and Apple support over the phone can't help me. The quality is TERRIBLE on my smart phone, and used to be really good before the site changed. The Vimeo app played my videos very clear. I'm using a MyTouch smart phone. I want to know if the quality being bad on mobile is because of the sites being changed, and if there is anything I can do to get the quality I want. I've worked on this the past three weeks, and this is my final option, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here are the steps I'm using to export (still trying more export options in Jes Deinterlacer).
    Step 1: In FCE, click "File", "Export", "Quicktime Movie". In "Include:", choose "Audio and Video", "All Markers" for "Markers:", and check box "Make Movie Self-Contained".
    Step 2: Open file in QT Player. Click "Window" (at the top between "View" and "Help"), and choose "Show Movie Properties". Click "Video Track", and click "Visual Settings". Change the dimensions (which are supposed to be 720x480 4:3 but the video is stretched). Enter "640 x 480" for "Scaled Size:", then same with "Offset:" Keep "Preserve Aspect Ratio" unchecked, then when finished entering numbers check it (doesn't let you uncheck it which would be best). Check the "High Quality" box if it hasn't already been checked. Close the window, and click "File", and then "Save".
    Step 3: Open file in Jes Deinterlacer. In "Input", check box "Reinterlace Chroma", choose "Video range", and check "Remove Jaggies". For "Project", choose "Deinterlace" and "Use Bottom Field". Check "Adaptive", "Local", and "Filter Chroma". In "Output", choose "Video range". Choose "Export", and "Mpeg-4". For "File Format:" choose "MP4", for "Video Format:" choose "H.264", and for "Data Rate:" enter "2000" for "kbits/sec". Leave "Optimized for:" "Download" as is. Choose "640x480 VGA" for "Image Size:", and "Current" for "Frame Rate:". For "Key Frame:" choose "Every", and enter "24" for "frames". Click "Video Options". Leave the "Main" box checked, and check "Baseline" for "Restrict Profile(s) to:". Choose "Best Quality (Multi-pass)" for "Encoding Mode:". Click "Ok". Click "Audio" (since done with "Video"). For "Audio Format:" choose "AAC-LC (Music), for "Data Rate:" choose "320 kbps", for "Channels:" leave as "Stereo", for "Output Sample Rate:" choose "44.100 kHz", and for "Encoding Quality:" choose "Best". Click "Ok" (leave "Streaming" alone).

    First, I would do a Search on this forum for "FRAPS." There are several articles with comments on the best workflow and also settings for Import and for Export.
    Next, YouTube is trobulesome. First, they re-encode everything and their specs seem to change weekly. It's tough to find out what they want on any given day. I'd go to their site and get the very latest instructions and attempt to duplicate those perfectly, knowing that they might be different tomorrow.
    Good luck with this one, and good luck with the FRAPS footage.

  • Can an iPhoto library be shared with Lightroom and capture one?

    Since Aperture is being replaced by … nothing, how can I access the same library with multiple editors?

    Neither iPhoto, Lightroom nor Capture One are editors. They are all database driven Photo Managers with non-destructive processing. There is no rational workflow that would use more than one of these apps, any more than it would make sense to write a novel in three different word processors at the same time.
    Pick the one that suits your needs - if you're coming from Aperture then forget iPhoto, it's much less capable and also being end-of-lifed. Pick between Lightroom and Capture One. Then google the options for migration from Aperture to the one you choose.

  • Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

    I have a problem with my Pages
    My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
    I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
    I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
    fonts are missing...
    Is there a workaround.
    I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
    I need help
    thanks a zillion

    The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
    Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
    Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
    You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
    The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
    I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
    What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
    So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
    I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
    The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
    So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
    To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
    Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
    If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
    So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
    Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
    Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
    Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
    Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
    Good luck,

  • Should I upgrade my iphoto panther to Leopard or export and fresh install?

    My Panther iphoto library got corrupted some how and I had to create a new library. I did not like this because it changed all the order of my photos and I could not organize them the way they were. I still have the corrupted library on my hard drive. I never deleted it for fear that I did not get all of my photos onto the new library. I think I pretty much did but not for sure. The dates that I imported the original library pics were all correct. Now that I had to redo the library half the dates are wrong because it's going by the created dates on the photos instead of the day they were imported. It's all very confusing to me.
    Anyway.....now, I just purchased a copy of Leopard. I was thinking of doing a fresh install instead of upgrading my g4 in hopes that I would start with a clean slate. Only problem is trying to back up all those photos and then reimporting them. Do you guys think I should not mess with it or buy a firewire external hard drive, export or back up my files, do a fresh install and then re-import? One of the reasons I also want to start fresh is because my daughter went in and started deleting a bunch of folders she did not think she needed and I had to get thousands of files out of the trash. I don't know if I put everything back into the correct place. Come to think of it. My itunes library was corrupted as well and I had to create another one of those. So I have 4 libraries of music and photos filling up my 120 gig hard drive. Sounds like a good time for a fresh install upgrade right???
    Tim

    Anyway.....now, I just purchased a copy of Leopard.
    iPhoto '08 is not included on the Leopard upgrade - it is on the iLife '08 upgrade (a separate purchase from the OS)
    And upgrading the software will not fix a corrupted library - you need to have a good clean working library before you upgrade iPhoto

  • Difficulties with templates and CSS in DW CS3

    I'm having difficulty with CS3 and templates.
    I started a new site. I created an HTML file (with CSS for
    some formatting - colors and margins) and made a template from the
    HTML file, creating one editable region (plus the default two of
    the page title and the additional area in the header). I then
    created my site HTML files from this new template. When I tried
    updating the template, I got an error that I had nested editable
    regions in the HTML files. I checked the template, and I don't. I
    checked the HTML files and I did see two </body> tags at the
    end.
    I started over. I updated my starting file and made a new
    template, overwriting my old one. I created new files from the new
    template. Although the HTML files display fine in the browsers,
    when I try to view them in Design View, this round DW doesn't
    render them with the CSS, and it did the first time.
    What's going on, and can I get it to stop?
    Thanks!

    I use File>New...>Page from Template, select the
    template, go to editable region, add my content, then save the
    result as an HTML file. Same as I've done lots of times. The Update
    page when template changes checkbox is checked.

  • PE 4 crashes on render, export and preview with Vista 64 bit

    I just installed my PE 4 on a new Windows Vista 64 bit machine with the i7 920 processor and 512 MB ATI Radeon video card.  PE 4 worked fine on my XP machine but I cannot get it to render, export or even let me preview on this new maching.  I have followed the advise of updating all drivers and software and uninstall and reinstalling with nothing running and I get the same error repeatedly - it will render and progress for about 5 seconds and then I get "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working" and it closes.  The video clips are from a flash memory camera and the Presets set for widescreen - flash memory.  Everything works normally until I try to view or render the files.  Any suggestions?

    You say this is from a flash memory camcorder? Can  you be more specific?
    Webbie camcorders, like the Flip, may shoot in hi-def, but they also record to a non-standard codec that can cause some of the problems you're describing.

  • Using iPhoto to make Slideshow with Stills and Movie Clips

    Hello--Can someone give me some tips on making a DVD from a slideshow on iPhoto.  The slideshow consists of still photos plus short video clips (7 -47 secs).  I have already tried making a DVD but would like to know anything I may be doing incorrectly.
    This is how I have done it so far:
    1--Made an Album in iPhoto and put various still pictures and 3 or 4 short video clips in the Album.
    2--Clicked on the + sign, bottom left, then clicked on 'Slideshow' then on 'Create'.  Entered Theme/Music/Settings.
    3--Clicked on 'SHARE'/Send to iDVD' at the top of the screen.
    4--The slideshow was then Exported to iDVD.
    I then proceeded to burn a DVD.  It turned out fairly well, except I noticed during the video clips the audio in the clips was VERY slightly
    over ridden by the music--not enough to be a problem.  During the still shots the selected music would play.
    Questions:
    1--Please comment on the above procedure if you see anything I should be doing differently, ie is this the best way to mix
    still pictures and videos?
    2--Can this slideshow be uploaded to You tube or would you suggest a better way.
    Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.

    Thanks very much for your input Terence Devlin.  I appreciate your comments that the system I'm using, which at the moment I am more familiar with, is at least workable.  I have found working with iMovie more confusing, but will try looking for some good tutorials that may make it easier to work with.
    I understand your comments on YT music useage and have been aware of that.
    When you ask for 'a better way'... a better way to what?
    I have found it difficult to upload the slideshow to You Tube.  At one time for instance, the upload was going to take something like 6 hours!  Obviously that was a 'bit' too long so I was hoping someone may be able to give some pointers on that, however I will try working on the iMovie system and see if I have better luck.
    Again, thanks for your input.  Cheers.

  • IPhoto 9.3 shows black thumbnail and preview

    When I import picture in portrait orientation iPhoto 9.3 creates black previews and thumbnails.
    Is this a problem of iPhoto 9.3?

    People have been reporting this for a while now, with no fix at this time.
    Many folks find that rotating the image and then rotate it back will get them a thumbnail.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report it.
    Regards

  • Interactive documents in InDesign - problems with .swf and previews

    I have just been experimenting with InDesign new interactive docs features exporting to .swf.
    The first doc comtaine a few simple animations and exported to .swf. Lovely! All performing as advertised.
    The next document I make, again with just a couple of simple animations, fails. I am unable to view a preview of the animation and I get an error warning triangle at the bottom of the preview palette (without explanation). I am unable to export to .swf.
    And when I go back and open up my first document I am unable to preview that either.
    Does anyone know what's going on here?

    Hi quizzling,
    Have you tried resetting InDesign preferences?
    Launch InDesign and as you launch it on the keyboard hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) or Shift+Option+Command+Control (Mac) and wait for the delete prefs dialog to appear.
    Also try isolating the preview issue by selecting individual interactive objects and setting the preview mode to 'selection' only, so that you can check if the issue is related to a particular object on the page.
    hope this helps,
    Cari

  • Help with exporting and image size or boundaries?

    I am trying to slide the cat into the scene a little at a time foir an animation project I am working on. However, when I export the image the back ground of the image expands with a checkered back ground( showing here in white) and shows the whole cat.
    How do I just show a little of the cat on the image at a time when exporting. I am trying to give the impression that the cat is walking into the room. I do not want to have to cut the cat up.
    I would be thankful for any suggestions.

    Provide the name of the program you are using so a Moderator may move this message to the correct program forum
    This Cloud forum is not about help with program problems... a program would be Photoshop or Lighroom or Muse or ???

  • IPhoto not being updated with photo stream

    I have photo stream turned on and used to get the photo stream pictures taken with my iphone but since the update to ML I haven't been able to see the new pictures on my photo stream. I know they are there because both my iphone and ipad can see the stream. iPhoto cannot. Anyone else have this problem and if you fixed it can you tell me what you did? Thanks.

    In the system preferences turn PhotoStream off and back on
