IPhoto - problems viewing pictures from library

I can view the thumbnails in the library but when I click on a photo to enlarge it or try to run a slideshow I just get a black screen. Any ideas?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library, upgraded

    iPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library. I have upgraded from an old iPhoto. I upgraded the Library also.
    Everything is inside the Library I can see but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?

    Everything is inside the Library I can see
    Do you mean by looking into the library using the Finder?
    but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?
    Then iPhoto has probably opened a new, empty library, because it could not find or access your iPhoto library. What happens, whiny double-click the Library to open it directly?
    Where is your iPhoto library stored? Is it in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?

    I've resolved my problem now.  It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos.  Can't believe I missed that before.

  • Problem calling simplebutton from library

    Hi guys,
    I'd like to ask for your assistance. I have a problem calling
    SimpleButton from library. I already checked the Linkage:Export for
    actionscript but still an error appear "Call to a possibly
    undefined method OkBtn". I'm just wondering because this method
    works on my MovieClips except for SimpleButtons. Is there another
    way to call SimpleButtons?
    Here's my code calling MovieClip:
    var mc:MovieClip = new ourProduct();
    and same in calling my SimpleButton:
    var myOkBtn:SimpleButton = new OkBtn();
    please help.
    Thank you very much

    Hi again,
    Since I could not call my SimpleButton inside the library, I
    was thinking of putting my button inside the movieclip and call
    that clip inside my library.
    On my stage, I called
    underConstructionPane() movieclip. This
    underConstructionPane contains
    myOkBtn which previously I wanted to call but as a work
    around, I just put it inside
    underConstructionPane movieclip with instance name of
    okBtn. I added eventHandler on
    okBtn which supposed to call
    showHome() function outside
    underConstructionPane.
    showHome() was declared on the stage or root (I don't know
    the correct term. hehehe
    sorry.) but I don't know how to call that function.
    I tried this:
    var home = new showHome();
    but it won't work.
    Please help me
    Thank you.

  • When I'm trying to mirror on AppleTV instead of mirroring my iPod, a random picture from library pops up on the screen. How do you fix this? Has this happened to anyone else?

    When using mirror on AppleTV instead of mirroring my iPod I get a random picture from library. How do you fix this?

    No, that's not mirroring. As I said that's basic airplay. Mirroring is an entirely different function.
    What model iPod do you have? Mirroring requires an iPod Touch 5th Generation.

  • How to view pictures from usb without uploading it to iphoto

    Im new to macbook pro from pc...i used to view photos from usb or sd card without importing it to computer...all i have to do is insert the sd thru usb and double click on one of the pictures and click the arrow to view the next picture.when im done i simply eject it.but in macbook pro (mountain lion)i have to double click the thumbnail and close it and double click another thumb nail to view another picture using the preview.i dont want some photos to be imported to iphoto just to view by slideshow.thanks

    There are a couple options. First, you can choose Edit -> Select All and open all the images in Preview. Then you can navigate between images in Preview. Another option is to choose one image and press the space bar to open Quicklook, then press the up or down arrows to move between images.

  • Please help! Problems importing pictures from iphoto

    I'm making a slideshow of pictures of my family with iMovieHD. Everything was working great and I have about 7 minutes of video. I tried to import another picture from the media/photos area and now the photo shows up as horizontal lines of various colours. (Similar to the way a tv looks when not tuned into a channel properly). I tried importing the picture as a clip, and the same thing happened. This happens with ANY photo I try to add to the timeline now. I've restarted my computer and updated the software. Have I used up too much memory?

    Hi Sue,
    Thank you so much for your suggestion. I tried following the instructions by inserting a still clip at the beginning of my movie. Unfortunately, the Kenburns clip that I want to insert still shows up as horizontal moving colour lines. I noticed that the article you suggested was geared towards iMovie 4 (not HD) and said the problem had vertical black and white lines (not coloured horizontal). I tried reimporting the picture, but the same problem still occurs. Any new picture that I want to insert into the timeline does this! What's wrong with my computer?

  • Iphoto loses pictures from library

    Hope someone can help. I have no trouble importing pics from my camera or desktop into iPhoto. However, once I reopen iPhoto they've disappeared from the library and events. If I've put them into an album they're in there but no sign of them anywhere else!
    I've re-installed iPhoto09 but the same thing's happening.

    John
    If I've put them into an album...
    If they can be in an Album then they must be in an Event. Every photo in the Library is in an Event somewhere.
    Also, if you can’t see them in an Event, how do you put them in a Library?
    We sometimes see this apparently happen when the camera’s date is wrong and the photos end up in unexpected places in the Library.

  • Problem uploading pictures from my computer to internet

    I just got my new imac. I have since uploaded two "events" in iPhoto and wanted to upload some of these pictures from my computer to some online programs (flikr etc..). But when I go to choose the photos to upload, I go to user - pictures - and then there is iPhoto Library and Photobooth. But photobooth is the only one that has a little arrow allowing me to choose the pictures in that folder. Iphoto library doesn't have an arrow and therefore doesn't even seem to read that there are indeed photos in the library. What is going on??
    PLEASE HELP.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    If you're uploading to a site via a web browser, the procedure is to use the File -> Export option and export the pics to the desktop. Then upload them from there. After the upload you can trash the pics on the desktop - they are only copies and the originals are safe in iphoto.

  • Iphoto wont tranfer pictures from iphone

    I cant transfer pictures from my iphone to iphoto because i get an error message saying "Error downloading image.
    iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image"

    Hi there...
    I have had the same problem... I have been using my iphone camera for a few years without a problem. Suddenly one day I could not upload to iphoto. I tried everything you can imagine. Nothing. I even tried to upload to Picassa. No Joy. I called Apple support and they suggested I email to myself whatever photos I wanted to keep and delete the remaining and weed out the offending photo/file... This was not an option. I decided to trawl through my photos one by one and I suddenly noticed that some of my photos on iphone were taken in HD. I remembered I started taking some photos on HD just to try it out. I only had about a dozen of them. I then remembered that these photos were taken about the same time as I started having to upload problems. So I deleted all the HD photos. I re-connected to iphoto and guess what? .... IT WORKED!  ..... Happy days! ... Try it and let me know if it works for you! Good luck!

  • HT4236 How to view pictures from iPad in my computer?

    I just bought a new iPad. I bought also app " Star walk". I like the app. The problem I have is: When I e-mail pictures (of stars, sky, ..etc.) to my self from my ipad, I store them in my computer (windows 7) in (My Pictures) folder. But the images appear blank under the name "file". All my pictures are in JPEG format. How can I convert pictures from iPad into JPEG so that I can view them or post them on my blog?

    Are you taking the pics via screenshots?

    If so, the pics are in .png format. You should be able to change to .jpg using a graphics app on your computer.

  • IPhoto Problem - no pictures and Program stuttering

    User A: iPhoto shows no pictures, but pictures are in the iPhoto Library, Program does not react fast, it takes a long time for the program to display the menus on the left side..
    User B: iPhoto normal, all pictures at the right place.
    How can I reset User A to a factory new iPhoto? tried to rebuild database and create new library, nothing worked. Are there any preferences I can delete and/or hidden files that control iPhoto?
    I already deleted all preferences I found in /Library/preferences.
    Should I try to repair permissions_

    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, faces and places 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.
