IPhoto Pictures Start Out Blurry And Become Clear 10 Seconds Later

I've long been aggravated by the fact that when I'm browsing images in iPhoto, they start out looking pixelated and low-res for about 10 seconds before becoming clear. If I'm in Organize or Edit mode, and have the picture on the screen full sized, and then I hit the right or left arrow, I get an ugly, pixelated enlarged thumbnail and then about 10 seconds later the high-res version finally loads and it looks clear. This makes browsing my photos a real pain, as I have a 10 second wait before I can see each picture in high-res. This has always been a problem with iPhoto - every version I've had since it came out.
How do I fix this? Is the app just horrible at memory management? I have a very fast computer. Can't iPhoto anticipate that I'm going to view the next photo over (left or right) and pre-load the large size before I get to it?

There is a lot less lag on later versions. Face it, iPhoto 4 hasn't been in active development for more than 6 years. I wouldn't hold my breath on an update.

  • Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    We can tell you that it is possible to store separate images on the Time Capsule drive. If however, you are asking if you can access separate images from your Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule, this is not possible.
    How you get the images that your want from iPhoto on your Mac to the Time Capsule drive is a question for the iPhoto experts. It will likely involve "exporting" the files that you want and then moving them using the Finder to the Time Capsule drive.
    How you access those images on the Time Capsule from an iPad is a question for the Using iPad experts.

  • I was able to hook up my ATV with HDMI. The picture came out fine and i can navigate fine however i have no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    I was able to hook up my ATV with HDMI. The picture came out fine and I can navagate but I get no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you for all your responses to my questions really appreciate it.
    I have the HDMI cable hooked up directly to the TV and I do not have an optical hook up directly on the tv. The receiver is in a separate room. Not close enough to connect to the receiver. Can I connect the apple TV though my DVD player which has a HDMI port and in the same room as the receiver?

  • IPhoto pictures grayed out

    I tried scanning a picture for the first time...I sent it to iPhoto, dragged it onto Library, and--it is fine, but all previous photos in Library and other albums, are now all grayed out. How do I resolve this? Thank you.

    That's a bummer. It seems maybe a data file got corrupt.
    See if creating a new library will get your images back.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • HT201401 Is a camera replaceable if it is all scratched up and the pictures turn out blurry?

    I've read about replacing a backplate? Can someone verify? I really would like to use my camera, as it's been like this for a year now.

    Icepassion you are correct, blurry pictures are most often due to lens scratches on the iPhone backplate. The backplate is a simple replacement at Apple Store for $29. Make Genius Reservation, at Apple Store show to Genius, if new backplate does not fix the issue I am sure they will not make you buy the backplate.

  • Pictures that I have stored on my laptop are fine but all of the pictures online are blurry and I just need to know how to fix this problem?

    This has just started happening recently but all the pictures online look very pixely. I've started to notice this on facebook and other websites like Bing.com. I can't figure out what the problem is and have tried messing with my screen resolution but nothing seems to be working.

    I am having the same problem after ugrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
    I found on the net a guy who says to do the following "log in as root and trash the old user icon images file. Then copy the folder froma ML factory disk image and restart". I can't get back to the original post-- tried buy it no longer seems to be there.
    OK-- I don't understand how to do any of that.  I need to know: 1.  what is the name of the folder I am supposed to trash what is the path to get to it. 2. Where do I get the new folder to replace it with and where do I put it.  
    I would really appreciate help. Thank you.

  • IPad footage has come out blurry and with green

    I have all this footage stored on my computer (to edit later), shot with a fairly new iPad mini. Since iMovie updated, it's all showing up blurry, corrupted and green like this. I long since deleted the original footage from my iPad to make space to record more, and need to have these videos ready in a week.
    Is there any recovering this footage? Why is it all ruined?

    Try taking pictures in manual mode with iso setting 100 or 200 (400 or 800 in low light) and check the image quality.
    The camera hardware is pretty good, the problem comes with the superior auto mode which tend to use a very high iso value !!!
    A high iso value increases the sensor sensitivity which captures more light but also high amount of noise. Hence when the image processor try to remove the noise it create lots of artifact in the image.
    However, since at high iso value the sensor is more sensitive to light, the shutter speed is inreased which avoid blurry images. Thats why, when taking pictures with low iso value, you should try to stay still as far as possible.
    I usually use iso 200 which give a good balance: low noise and avoid blur. If the image is too dark in the preview just increase the iso.

  • I tried to update my iPad 2 to ios 5. It starts out fine and once its done, it tells me the network connection timed out and that I should try again, even thought I have internet. How do I update my iPad without it doing that?

    I need help updating my iPad to ios 5, without it telling me that the network connection timed out.

    You can download the correct iOS upgrade manually to your computer and then apply it to your iPad using the iTunes app on your computer. After you have downloaded the correct upgrade press the Option/Alt key and click on the Check for Update button in the iTunes app. Browse to the file on your computer, select it and iTunes will do the rest to install it.

  • Sattelite A200-1N9 fan starts running faster and become loud

    Hi,
    So i have strange problem. When my fan starts running faster he bocome so loud i can't work.
    What is more strange when he bocome loud i can't start any new programs and programs already running freezes.
    What kind of sorcery is this?
    Sincerely
    Per Aspera
    null

    Hi
    This happens because an process running in the background stresses the CPU up to 100% and this creates more heat dissipation and the fan kick on and runs faster to cool down the CPU. Additionally the CPU is locked and therefore the system freezes for some time.
    You have to check what process or tool stresses the CPU.
    You can start task manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and check the tab Processes.
    Here you can see in the CPU column what process use most of CPU performance.

  • Fennec installs on Kindle HD, but when selected, opens and 3-5 seconds later drops out. Is there support coming?

    Gets installed-as shown; gets icon-as shown; opens fine from icon--crashes back to icon after 3-5 seconds of display of homepage.
    fennec-15.0 being used.
    Are there other parameters I need to manipulate to get this to work? Have tried automatic and mobile setting for firefox--same results.

    Did something a little different and it worked. fennec 10.0 works without fail on kindle fire. I guess know that a level of support is established as a baseline, we should be able to walk it up from here. This is a Kindle Fire right out of the box. Two previous fennec 15.0 installs went fine, however fennec crashed after 3-5 seconds. I googled a couple more things and found where someone had gone to ftp site and pulled down 10.0. Definitely works. Clean install...open right up and has yet to crash. Have already browsed around a couple site and still going strong.
