IPhoto Thumbnails Cannot Display BW

I started importing pics to iphoto and noticed that some b/w pics came up as black icons and when i open them the image it is not correct. These pics have been changed to b/w in photoshop 3 on my pc but saved as jpeg. Does anyone know a solution for this?

Hi Dennis
Search around the pc's HD for the original unedited file's and import those to iPhoto!
Then in iPhoto if you want them b&w adjust the saturation level bar to the left and save the changes!

  • IPhoto won't display thumbnails

    I performed a clean install of OS X, and when I copied over the pictures I had backed up iPhoto wouldn't display thumbnails. Old photos have no thumbnails at all, new photos will show thumbnails if I scroll around quickly, but return to blanks if I stop. If I edit a picture, the thumbnail will show until I quit iPhoto. I've tried rebuilding the library and thumbnails.
    I have have a MacBook Pro from late 2009, iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424).

    How did you bring back the pictures after the clean install?  Did you use Migration Assistant in the restoring of your files?  If so know that MA has a history of not handling iPhoto library very well.  So if you did use MA see if you can do a manual copy of the backup library to the Pictures folder on your Mac.  Then launch iPhoto and go from there.
    If you didn't use MA then try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
    When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database?  Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
    Those are the two options to use.
    Here's another fix you can try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: 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.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

  • IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

  • Can I tell iphoto not to display pixelated blown up thumbnails first?

    I find it quite frustrating that when you double click on a thumbnail to see it full-screen, while iphoto is loading the full-rez image it displays a pixelated blown-up thumbnail for a second or two. I would much rather just wait the second or two for the full resolution image without having to look at the terrible pixelated image. Is there a way to change that behavior?
    Better yet, is there a way to increase the resolution of the actual thumbnail files? (I don't mean just the size it displays at, b/c bringing that up too high just slows iphoto thumbnail view to a crawl.)
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The answer to both questions is no. About the only way to reduce the effect would be to get a faster Mac and that's reasonable (unless you're looking for an excuse to buy that new Mac). I just that that time to blick a couple of times to keep the old eyeballs moist and don't even notice the effect.;)
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Missing iPhoto thumbnails

    I've tried everything, but just can't seem to get iphoto to display large or small thumbnails.  Exported iPhoto library to external hard disk a couple of months ago and all continued to work well.  Then updated to snow Leopard OS.  A week later noted that external hard drive not mounting.  Very intermittent and sometimes it would mount and other times not, but certainly iphoto library not working with photos not visible or editible.
    Eventually after trying every bit of advice regarding sorting out 'external hard disk not mounting,' resorted to extracting data with software program called Stella something.  All data retrieved and all images within iphoto library original and modified folders all viewable in preview.
    However although iphoto now working fine with iphoto library on new ext hard drive none of the thumbnails are displaying so I can't see what photos are where. If I click on an events thumbnail (empty black box) it takes to me to collection of grey boxes representing photos for that event. These open up and are editible. but I just don't know what they are until I've gone through this process.
    I have tried rebuilding the small thumbnails, the large thumbnails, repairing permissions, rebuilding from back up, but no change.  I even removed ilife '09 from hard disk and reinstalled and updated software to ensure library readable, but again same problem.
    My next option is to get ilife '11 but I dont think that'll be any different.  Failing that I might take all photos out of iphoto library and re-import the lot but firstly not sure if I need to import all from both original and modified folders and what will happen to all the albums, books, calendars previously created.
    Any help to resolving this problem would be a life saver! I wonder whether there are conflicting files in the iphoto library regarding thumbnails or structure or something aside from a problem with the photos themselves.
    Many thanks
    Oh and also when I open imovie it tries to retrieve videos from iphoto library and states that not in correct format even though they don't seem to have changed to me and open just fine from finder.

    ok so I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and used its rebuild function.  Appeared to be working and in fact has rebuilt half of the library thumbnails and everything complete - perfect....Well almost except it only managed to rebuild half of it, copying 3000 or so of the 8900 photos on my external hard drive stating that it could not find the remaining photos in the original folder, even though I can and they seem to open up no problem in finder.  So there must be some corrupt data in the files that direct iphoto to locate all these original photos I'm guessing - What do you think?
    (Also interesting imovie no longer is able to find movies within iphoto library even though they are all there)

    In Iphoto I cannot see my thumbnails when I doubleclick pic. No matter what i do its only big pictures. I have doubleclick selected under preferences.

  • Thumbnails Wont Display

    When I am viewing my photos no thumbnails will display - only the dash outline boxes. If I take the thumbnail slider and move it all the way to the left they will display in their smallest size. If I move it at all to the right to make them bigger, they change to the dash outline box and thumbnails never display. Any ideas? iPhoto 09 on a fresh SL install - no software updates available - all have been applied.

    Before that:
    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.

  • Error message "This program cannot display the webpage when uploading images to Cafe Press

    I have had a Café Press shop for five years and except for sometimes being slow, no problems uploading images. Now, suddenly for 3 days I get the message "This program cannot display the webpage
    Most likely causes:
    • You are not connected to the Internet.
    • The website is encountering problems.
    • There might be a typing error in the address.
    What you can try:
    Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.
    Retype the address."
    I got the messsage about half way through the uploading of an image. People suggested using "firefox" instead of IE so I now get a similar error message from Firefox. I signed in, clicked on the image I wanted to upload and hit "upload" and get message as follows:
    Server not found
    Firefox can't find the server at members.cafepress.com.
    * Check the address for typing errors such as
    ww.example.com instead of
    [url=http://www.example.com]www.example.com[/url]
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    None of this makes sense because I WAS connected to the internet (obviously) or I wouldn't have been able to sign in, go to my media basket, browse for the image and click "upload" and watch as the progress bar showed percentage of upload such as 20%, etc. and even went to 100% at times before giving me the error message. Plus I couldn't make a typing error since I wasn't typing anything but uploading an image. Any suggestions?
    Whatever your suggestion, I need step by step instructions as I am totally computer illiterate. I don't even know what a "proxy" is and don't know if I have a "firewall" as the message suggests. I have "Comodo" security and am using Windows XP.
    I contacted CP which was no help at all. All they did was tell me to clear my cache which I do after every session. Thanks

  • Cannot display square root symbol in cvi

    I don't understand why this would be an issue, but if I'm writing in the source window (with the default font of NIEditor), I cannot display a square root symbol "√" - every time I type alt+251, I get "v". Ok, not a huge deal in the source window, but it is a big deal if THAT is what's being stored in a string variable I'm writing out to a file. Additionally, if I use the following to format a string:
    "Fmt(setpointUOM, "%s<W%cT/P3", 251);", then setpointUOM = "WüT/P3". If I display this variable in a string control, it displays as "W√T/P3", which is correct, but if I use it in a Text Box or save it to a sql database, it displays "WüT/P3" which is unacceptable.
    I've tried changing the fonts but nothing works or I get even stranger results. I've been dealing with/ignoring this since CVI7 and I'm currently at CVI10. Thanks for any help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The difference in the display between W√T/P3 and WüT/P3 has to do with the character set that you select for the UI control. From what I can tell, only the OEM code pages map the √ symbol to character 251, so if you want to see √ for that character, you should pick the OEM character set, in that control.
    Entering √ with the keyboard in a CVI window seems like a much more problematic task. When you type Alt+251 on a CVI window, the keyboard driver is converting the 251 to 118 (the letter v). I don't know why it does that, but I noticed that the code that it converts 251 to varies, depending on your input language (which you can change in Control Panel>>Region and Language>>Change keyboards or other input methods). When english is selected in the language bar, it converts it to 118. With other languages, it converts it to other codes. I tried entering the unicode value for √ directly, which is Alt+221A (to enter unicode characters using the keypad, you have to follow the steps described here). But it didn't work. It still converted it to 118. I suspect the keyboard driver is doing this because it tries to map 221A to some symbol that is valid in the code page that corresponds to the input language, isn't able to, and picks what it thinks is the closest match.
    In lots of other applications (but not all) you can type Alt+251 or Alt+221A and it works just fine. This is because those applications accept unicode characters directly. Unfortunately, CVI isn't one of them. It uses code pages (a.k.a. character sets, or multibyte sequences) instead of unicode, and symbols don't have a universal meaning; they depend on the code page.
    Even if all this were not an impediment, you'd still run into the problem that in CVI 2010 you cannot change the font of the CVI source window to use an OEM character set. So, you'd still see it displayed as a v or a ü. In CVI 2012 you can change the change it, and so if you were using CVI 2012 you could conceivably use the clipboard to paste the √, but there is a bug in CVI that is preventing OEM characters from being pasted correctly (I realize the description says that it affects tree tooltips, but it's also generally affecting clipboard operations of some less commonly used character sets).
    So, to make a long story short, I think you should continue entering the code directly with the Fmt function, at least until this bug is fixed. And make sure that all UI controls that need to display this string are using the OEM character set.

  • Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

    Hi, guys
    I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
    I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
    Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
    Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
    Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
    Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
    or
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
    I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions? 
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
    In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
    Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.

    Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac.  Now when using iPhoto slideshow it  displays the pictures in reverse order.

    There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album.  The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually.  Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
    If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.
