Iphoto picture view issues

I have loaded my pictures into my Library, but when I open the Library, all the pictures have the same view (picture) on them.  I cannot see each picture individually.  I can click on the picture and see the actual, but not in the library or photo view.  When I first loaded the pictures it seemed as if some were shown correctly.
How can you change the view so to see each picture indiviually?
Thxs!

What version of iPhoto?
try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails - this may take several tries

  • IPhoto picture resolution issue

    Hi,
    I've sync'd several iPhoto libraries (I have multiples) but am seeing many of the photos display in what looks like blown up thumbnails rather than full resolution photos. These are full 10mp images at 3600x2700 in iPhoto. The problem is that it's inconsistent. Some photos look great and some don't.
    What could account for the difference?
    Thanks,

    There are several issues at work here. Which all seem to stem from this being an ipod with better video than a settop mac.
    First the apple TV displays a max resolution of 720p (not 1080) for videos and photos alike.
    Second when the photos are synced their resolution is reduced to have a max of 720 pixels vertical resolution - I'm not sure but there is an apple photo database in the pictures folder that looks like it contain these versions of the pictures.
    The photos are then displayed by the apple TV and if you set it to 1080 it blows up the smaller images to fit the screen. From what I've seen any portrait pictures look OK (because they aren't blown up) but landscape photos look like crap. this may not be as noticeable if you use ken burns effect because it doesn't appear to blow up the picture when it uses this.
    We purchased this primarily to show our photos in hi res on our 1080p tv, its a big disappointment and will be going back. Get a mac mini instead!

  • Copying file from a Compact Flash Card or Epson Picture Viewer issues

    I am a photographer and have been experiencing issues when trying to copy or move files from my compact flash cards or my viewer HD device. Both my Sandisk reader and the epson connect to my iMac through USB (rear ports) and during the copy process, I get messages that one of the files are in use, and the rest of the copy is aborted. Since the copy process doesn't work in a numerical or filename fashion, I have to look through each file that has been copied and try to identify which files were missed. The weird thing is that if I try to copy the file that was mentioned in use, it works fine
    I am copying to a USB External drive, connected to my Airport Extreme. I've encountered the same things when the HD was connected directly to the iMac.
    I am getting very frustrated with this process, and am looking for insight on how to make this go away, or at the very least, is there an application that will copy/move and verify the files before exiting? I can't help but think that I may have missed files here and there, and those files could be now lost memories.
    Any help would be appreciated

    They'll record either while simutaniously recording to tape. I believe the HDV is in a .M2t format but I'm not sure about the DV file format. As for quality, your guess is as good as mine, I haven't had the chance to play with one yet.

  • Iphoto picture importing issues

    After importing my existing iphoto's library into a new mac mini, it seems that whilst all photo's are visible, some just display an exclamation mark against a grey background when they are double clicked for a zoomed in view?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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. .

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

  • Iphoto pictures not showing up in slideshow

    I only have 19 pictures in my iphoto library--created from different "rolls" from emails. When I create a slide show of these pictures (from either the iphoto library of from an album that currently has the same 19 pictures), four of the pictures don't show up in the slideshow. In the slideshow preview, they appear "gray" (and the picture flashes behind the gray for less than a second), and when viewing the slideshow, these four pictures view as black. These four pictures view just fine from either the iphoto library or from the album. Why is this happening, and what are my options to get this resolved?

    Riona:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When I've tried to duplicate and the fix the problem I've not had any success. You can try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager. It does not touch or modify the original library. Here's how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    If that doesn't solve the problem the only way to get a working library that I know of is to start a new library and import the Originals folder from the old one. Here's how:
    1 - first, to salvage your keywords, follow the workflow in Tutorial #1. If you don't care about losing the keywords you can skip this step.
    2 - move your existing library to the desktop.
    3 - move the Originals folder from that library folder to the desktop.
    4 - launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    5 - drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will give you your photos back and in the same rolls that they were in the original library. The roll dates may be different but can be edited in the Information window at the bottom of the Source pane as you would edit file names.
    In the future I recommend that you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file that's in the iPhoto library folder. This contains all of the information needed by iPhoto to construct the library and is the file that usually gets corrupted and causes the exclamation mark issue. Keep the backup current, i.e. after any import into iPhoto.

  • Some iPhoto pictures missing after time machine recovery, were there errors reported during backup that I missed?

    Hello. I used time machine/time capsule to automatically back up my sytem over the last 3 years and I used the backups to recover my system to a new hard drive when the original drive began to fail. After recovery, I noticed there are missing photos in iPhoto.
    I'm curios where I should look to see why they weren't backed up, and why it wasn't obvious to me at the time that they weren't backed up.
    Does time machine explicitly call out issues when it can't back up a file or does it just squirrel a message away in the system log?
    I'd like to know because I'd like avoid this issue going forward.
    Full disclosure & History -
    The hard drive on my late 2009 27" iMac was exhibiting issues and started to go bad. No problem I thought, I'll get a new one and recover the system from my time capsule.
    The full recovery was initiated from the OS install media. Upon recovery, the system wouldn't boot. After booting from the OS install media and reinstalling the OS on top of the recovered data the system booted and seemed to retain almost everything. This may not be the best way to recover but it seemed to work.
    I additionally had to:
    repatch the OS
    reinstall iWork
    relicense MS Office (otherwise office seemed to be intact)
    When I started looking through my iPhoto libraries, there were some events with no pictures (mostly the newer events). I couldn't find the pictures on the time capsule either so I'm curios if there was anyway I could have known that backups weren't completing successfully. I had run a time machine incremental backup before pulling out the old hard drive and it seemed to complete successfully so I'm at a loss. I can understand that as the hard drive began to fail, there may have been issues backing up the data, but I somehow missed it if/when the problems were reported.
    Should I go through the old system logs that were backed up on the time capsule and look for backupd messages/errors? Going forward, how do I know if there are backup issues?
    It took me a couple weeks to realize the drive was failing. I had noticed that the system performance was getting bad, and the system would occassionally hang. It would come back OK after a restart. I thought it was because the filesystem was getting close to full (30GB left on a 1 TB drive) so I was chasing down cleaning up some data to make more room. There were suggestions in other forums to try and keep the filesystem 10% free.
    While moving data from the internal drive to a new external drive (to free up space) the system would hang. I eventually found a couple disk0 errors in the kernel log and I actually witnessed disk0 disappear while running an iostat. I'm thinking it took me too long to know the disk was going bad, and so the pictures I imported over the last 3-4 weeks may be gone.
    I still have the original drive so I'll see if anything else can be salvaged from it.
    Looking for some suggestions on
    1) the ability to know if time machine backups are successful and are in sync with my system
    2) the ability to know when there are hardware issues that I should be aware of
    If you got to this point, thanks for taking the time to read through all this.
    Regards,
    -mike

    Hi Mike,
    I just saw this post and saw no one has responded.  You might have figured out but in case, I wanted to let you know what I found out.  I had the same problem.  Hard drive failure, they installed a new one and my iPhoto pictures were missing.  I couldn't find them on Time Machine either which baffled (and frustrated) me b/c I just backed up my drive and I was missing pictures from over a year ago. 
    I found this article and it allowed me to at least find my pictures...so they weren't lost after all. 
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16029742#16029742
    As for why they aren't showing up in iPhoto or Time Machine, the lady at the Mac store said it is probably an OS conflict.  Which makes sense since I can see the actual pictures in the iPhoto content file (per the article mentioned above).  However, I didn't have my computer with me at the store to have a Genius person help me resolve the conflict.
    BUT, if you can find the pictures, then maybe you can reimport them into iPhoto?  Just a thought.
    Good luck!

  • Entire iPhoto pictures missing from external hard drive.

    Hello, I have already posted this problem but I'm not sure it was clear enough and not getting the response I needed. I had a Jan 2011 white laptop came with snow leopard, and I upgraded to Lion. A good few months ago, my daughter splashed a small amount of water on it, whilst it was turned on and open. I dried off the water I could see, and the mac was still working so I assumed it was ok. (At this time it had a very low battery and was not connected to a power source) Later on in the afternoon, forgetting about the incident, I did the unthinkable and plugged in the power lead. Result: nothing, the laptop would not boot up, I tried a few times, even holding down the power key for extended time but nothing. I eventually gave up  and got myself a new macbook 10.9.2 then two days ago, took the old burnt out laptop to a place to get them to remove the hard drive and fit it in a case for me with a usb connection. They done this, I  got home and connected the external hard drive off my old mac into my new mac, success I could see it but when I tried launching I photo from the external HD (old lap top) on my new mac. (I didn't realise there would be a software issue which is obvious now)The new mac with mavericks said it could not open iphoto. So I tried searching for the photo files manually on my external hard drive (but there was nothing)  The user files were completely empty. It showed hardly any bytes (indicating I had nothing) My itunes files where gone too, and I could find no files I needed that were originally on my old (mac/ now external harddrive) The only items that were intact were the documents in the documents folder and the applications. I took the external hd back to the repair shop and they said they could not find them. They said they would charge me £100 for an attempted recovery  of data which I 'm now not sure what to do, as I'm unsure what has happened. I desperately would like to get some of the data back, i;e (some files from desktop and photos)  as frustratingly  it was not backed up....
    My questions are:
    1.Would trying to open iphoto, and itunes from my  external HD with earlier software in  10.9.2 Mavericks cause me to lose data (including desktop files) ?
    2. Could the water damage be the issue for destroying the data? (although other data is still there)
    3. Is it likely the files are still on my external hd and I just can't see them (although the low bytes seems to indicate perhaps not)
    4. Is there a reliable data recovery program out there someone can recommend I can get and use that may recover the files, and do I download it on my new mac, and direct it to the external hd?
    5. Would apeture locate the missing iphoto picture files  from the external HD and integrate it into the library on my mavericks?
    6. Could the problem be caused by leaving the HD in my old(water damaged) laptop for so long before I tried rescuing it?
    Any light on situation much appreciated. Apologies if this issue already been aswered, I did scour but did not see help I needed.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi  T,
    Thanks again for reply.  Just checked my mac for the first time without the external HD attached. I had a hard time trying to get back into this site on my new mac. Now I keep getting a pop up that says (https:// discussions.apple.com bad gateway) with ok button every every 30 secs or or something after that I can't type except if I click ok. Prior to that I had some message telling me something about proxy server gateway no access or something. Not happenign on other sites so perhaps just a random error, (hope I have now not picked up a bug or another insidious thing from some site whilst trying to resolve my old HD probs....)
    Extremely annoying!!
    Well I checked as you asked. This is the process.(if you can tell me how to take a screen shot I will do it, but at moment I don't know how to do that exactly)
    At the moment I have got my HD showing on my desk top Top RH corner, like they used to in the good old days before it all changed. I do this, because everything is conveniently placed in one place. Call me old fashioned I guess..
    (Not to change the thread but this pop up thing is driving me mad...)
    If I doubleclick on that by default it opens with five folders in it, I;E applications, library, system, user information, users.
    When I click on Users.
    It is here I find the user  file  with a user name that I have NEVER entered into this new mac, (especially with old MAC HD attached as I did not want any confusion) I even re-named my  old HD (OLD mac HD)
    This new user file even has the icon of  a HOUSE instead of a folder, which is something off older OS as far as I know, I never saw it in mavericks before attaching this encased contraption which is just a metal box as far as I see that holds my old HD, but annoyingly done by someone that may not have known what they were doing..
    Why the heck is it there? It should not be there!
    When I click on this old (home folder) as that is what it used to be, and that was the name of my OLD HD before it got the name (old mac HD) which now I think of it, was not changed by me by default... which is a thought.. I only added the word OLD to it..
    Well it has all my default folders such as desk top, docs, movies, pictures ect.. When I click on pictures I  have my new iphoto library and another folder called root which has the salvaged files I saved there from the recovery software Stellar Pheonix which I downloaded a couple of days ago but can't actually open with preview anyway. I tried to do it with an old version of CS 5 photoshop to see if that would work, but I could not get photoshop to open in mavericks even after java update)
    The interesting thing is is: if I go to system preferences in my dock I click on users it only has the user folders I specified that should be there on my new mac.
    now peeved.  and this annoying pop up.....Situ does not seem to be getting any better!
    Instructions please how to post screenshot..
    PS sorry about LONG POST

  • Image problems when importing modified Iphoto pictures to aperture 3

    I seem to have a bit of strange problem with modified pictures after they are imported in A3.
    I am using Iphoto 8.1.1 and have just bought Aperture 3. I decided to import all my iphoto pictures using the import iphoto library function.
    I noticed that all images that had (in iphoto) been edited using the retouch function to reduce blemishes have problems in Aperture. The problem appears to be where the brush was used is now pixilated in that area and it just looks like a cluster of "noise". This only seems to happen when I used the import iphoto library. I tried to replicate the issue importing some of the same pictures individually and there was no issue. Than I made a new library tried to import iphoto library and same issue ones again. Exporting the picture out of aperture keeps this error. It's quite a worry as I have several hundred of these pictures and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
    Please have a look at the links below for an example of before and after import.
    http://files.me.com/dan_801/rlebic (the original file)
    http://files.me.com/dan_801/s0zn6d (after importing into A3)

    ok quick update - I opened up the aperture library in finder and located the image. The master appears to be the correct image but in Aperture itself it's showing a different image. The picture in Aperture appears to be pointing to the preview directory within the library structure. I tried re building the review and thumb and same issue again. When I export from aperture it also seems to export the preview version as oppose to the master. How do i fix this issue

  • IPhoto picture to iPhone

    Can I send an iPhoto picture in my iMac to my iPhone for inclusion into the iPhone photo gallery. I apologize for my inability to solve this issue.

    The faster way to move a lot of pictures from you iPhoto to your iPhone is to use your iTunes interface for your iPhone.
    1. In iPhoto, create a new album with all the photos you want on your iPhone.
    2. Sync your iPhone to your computer, which will open up iTunes.
    3. In iTunes, select your iPhone, which will open the management tabs.
    4. Select Photos > Sync photos from iPhoto > Select albums > check the album you created in iPhoto
    5. Select Apply.

  • Picture Viewer Crashes

    Hello,
    Here is the problem I've been having, I installed Quicktime, everything worked fine and I have Quicktime Picture Viewer as my default viewer (I miss my mac). I was able to use it for some time, then when it starts to open the window which asks me to upgrade to Quicktime pro it crashes. I've tried reinstalls and updates but to no avail. Then I reformatted my Hard Drive, and the same issue is happening. Any ideas?

    Thanks, this got me to the answer. Specifically, checking for full permissions under my user name.
    I am not sure if it was changing the permissions for QuickTime.qts, that did the trick, Because at the same time I also right-clicked on PictureViewer.exe, went to Properties and along with changing the permissions under the Security tab, I went to the Compatability tab and under Priviledge Level, I clicked on "Run this program as an administrator".  The only downside is I now get that annoying pop-up whenever I open the program saying "do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer", but that is a minor inconvenience.
    Thanks again for you help!

  • Resetting mac and saving Iphoto pictures

    I ve got a huge doubt about saving my iphoto pictures so i can restore my macbook air to his factory settings without losing losing them
    I dont know if I can save the Iphoto Library in my hard drive and then put it back after resetting it.
    and with iphoto library I mean this icon  (excuse my ignorance, I m horrible with technology)

    I would certainly not restore a system to change the things you indicate. You might cause yourself some serious problems.
    I would reset the SMC (system management controller) to see if things change.
    My log-in screen is gray...shade unknown. I rarely use the camera on my MacBook Pro.
    I would post a separate question about your camera issue to see if someone can address that issue.

  • Lion ScreenSaver re-active hang during read my iPhoto pictures

    Hi,
    My Lion cannot display password logon during screensaver is reading my iPhoto pictures.
    Because I setup my screensaver to random display my iPhoto pictures.
    I have an external monitor with my MacBook. Both of my monitors will display iPhoto pictures with screensaver.
    Screen hang if i'd like to re-active from screensaver to normal operation mode.
    That will be fine if screensaver reads iPhoto pictures and start to display them.
    Hang status happen during screensaver still reading iPhoto pictures for 2~3 seconds and before display them.
    Please check what's happen with this kind of issue for current Lion OS X 10.7.3

  • Import non iPhoto picture into iMovie

    Hi
    First time poster, long time lurker.
    is there anyway to use non iPhoto pictures in iMovie.
    As a professional tog, I have never really used or liked iPhoto, so have mine catalogued and filed elsewhere.
    Hope you guys can help.

    It's you, and people do mind you butting in. Stop hijacking other people's threads, it is not the done thing.
    If you have a question start you own post, jumping in on another thread just causes confusion.
    When you are in iMovie you select the small button that shows a camera on it (on the right hand side between the Music note and the 'T'. You should then see your iPhoto library, and be able to drag photos from here into your project. This is a standard operation in iMovie, if this does not work then you have some other issue on your machine that you have created during the transfer of the content from your PC.
