IPhoto turned most of my edited photos into black files without any previous versions

I discovered the issue when I tried to edit some photos and the edit screen only displayed noise. After trying the steps recommended here and rebuilding my library most of my edited photos were black... I tried to return them to their previous versions but there aren't any.
When I create a new library and import a single photo and then try to edit it the iPhoto edit screen still either displays an image with noise or a black one.
I really like iPhoto and hope this issue can be fixed!
I'm using iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3

This is really a puzzlement. The last test I can think of is it could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to test that premise:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot.
Also do you have access to another Mac that you can test editing some of the photos you're having problems with here?
Here's another test: reformat the card in the camera or use another card, take some photos, import and edit. This could tell if there's a problem with the file itself due to a corrupted card format.

Don't you mean Photos or are you still using iPhoto with 10.10.3?
Normally one gets the preview version of a photo or the edited version if it's been edited when dragging from a thumbnail to the Desktop. Don't know how you would have gotten small thumbnail versions.

How to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?

how to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?
I have a requirement in SAP HR where in the appraiser can add comments in the area given and can export that to excel file. Currently the file is getting exported but the comments getting split into deifferent rows.
I want the entire comment to be fit in one row.
Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
if your text edit value is stored in 'lv_string' variable.
then before exporting the value to excel you have to remove CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
that is '#' from the variable lv_string.
for that use code some thing like this.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE in lv_string WITH space.
I think this will do the trick.

Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

Thank you for your response.
After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Creating photo slideshow in imovie without any effects

Hi, When I am trying to make a photo slide-show video in imovie, every photo comes with zoom-in and out effect. I dont like that one. I just want to show photos one after another without any effect. But I couldnt find any option in imovie. Is it possible to make one?
Please give me suggestions. Thanks in advance!
Jay

Click on the small icon at the top center of any photo in iMovie. You will see the options Fit, Crop, Ken burns, Done. I think you will like the Ken Burns effect after you experiment with it a bit. If you want just plain photos, click Fit and Done.
Good luck.

Iphoto 09 not properly exporting edited photos

When I use the "adjust" function in the edit screen the changes I make are neither applied in the enlarged version of the photo in Iphoto nor when I try to export the photo to the desktop. Other changes I make in edit, such as using the "effect" function, do save however. What can I do to save the changes made using "adjust" to have them apply to the exported photo?

What version of iPhoto?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Turning a series of still photos into an animation in CS5?

I have taken a number of photos of a sporting event using the sport/burst mode on my DSLR. I would like to turn some of the 5-10 shot series of photos into animation(s). I have CS5 but not AfterEffects, etc.
I'm really hoping there is a straight-forward method of doing this. All I use PS for is photo manipulation. Heresy, I know.
Any advice?

I believe in CS5 the video animations was part of the extended version. The standard version did not support animations. It may have been able to do a few things with gif files, but I don't recall.

How can I fix iphoto 08 so it will edit photos with Snow Leopard?

Ever since I upgraded to SL, my iphoto 08 (ver 7.1.5) won't edit photos anymore. I just get the beach ball of death if I try to edit in full screen. I have sent two feedback msgs to Apple but have not received any sort of "fix." Where can I find this info? I have looked and read, and hoped....... HELP! Thanks so much!

Bak to the main Library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

Editing photos in one track without altering video in another?

Using Premier Elements 11, and working with an uploaded video with music. I am superimposing photos/videos on top of it. When I edit or move around the photos in the higher tracks, it messes up the audio by inserting breaks/cuts. I want the audio/video to run continuously in the background. Is there a way to lock the video so it can't be edited, while I move around the clips in the tracks above it?
And, a related question: I've placed a photo where I want it in relation to the video track. Is there a way to lock it in at that point in the video so that when I edit photos on the same track before that one, it doesn't shift everything down?
I've read on this forum that one can use the Ctrl key, but that trick doesn't seem to keep things from shifting around on the timeline in this case. Specifically, if I shorten the length of a clip, it slides everything after it to the left, whether or not I hold down the alt or ctrl key.

Yes, holding down the Ctrl key (or the Cmd key on a Mac) while you add photos or video clips will keep the track from rippling as you work.
Unfortunately, that won't keep your tracks from rippling when you trim your photos.
That's the closest to being able to lock a track.

How To Divide Source File Into Smaller Files Without Exporting?

Hello Everyone,
I'm a beginner with PPro CS4 and to video editing in general. I've done a lot of Googling and searching of these forums to get an answer to this question, but I haven't found a clear answer. Here's my problem:
I have many hours of HDV footage shot over the past few years with a Canon HV30. This footage is on dozens of DV tape cassettes. I want to capture most of it to disk.
When I capture a tape to disk, I get a single large mpeg4 file. (PPro captures all HDV footage to mpeg4.) "Scene select" doesn't work with the HV30, so my only other way to make smaller capture files would be to set In/Out points with batch capture. But this would mean hours of fast-forwarding and reversing with the VCR-like controls on the camera to review all the tapes and set the points. I thought it might be FASTER to simply capture an entire tape in one operation, THEN review the captured tape within PPro (it's much faster using the scrubber), and dividing that file into smaller files within PPro, thereby avoiding all the mechanical fast-forwarding and rewinding on the camera itself.
But the only way I can find to do this seems to involve EXPORTING clips. Am I wrong to think that exporting a clip to a new file involves a degradation of the original mpeg4 source file? Or will there be no loss to the quality if I simply export to mpeg4 format?
It seems there should be an easy way to simply divide the original capture into smaller source files for later editing, without putting the footage through another generation of processing (exporting), which might entail some loss of quality. Or am I wrong about this?
(CS4 Master Suite, i7 3630k, 16GB RAM, C: 256GB SSD, D: 1T Setpoint F3, E: 1T Setpoint F3)

HDV footage is mpeg2 (whats in a number ). CS4 does not do scene detect you need to use HDV split for that.
http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm.
You can run your already captured files through hdv split and it will chop the file into clips and off you go.

GRUB loads but get thrown into rescue shell without any errors

I forgot to read the news before I did an upgrade for the first time in a long time and borked my system because of the filesystem update.
Used to get Arch news by mail with a RSS forwarder, but the service I used shut down and I forgot to sign up for another one.
Used chroot and it seems like I fixed the filesystem and bash packages with all the related symlinks, and I did mkinitcpio -p linux and got no errors.
However when I boot I get directly thrown into GRUB rescue shell without any errors. Tried to reinstall GRUB but didn't change anything.
Read GRUB - GRUB UEFI drops to shell, but I still have a grub.cfg. I believe I just have a pretty standard GRUB2 installation, however I'm not really since it's a long time since I installed it and it was a lot of back and forth because I tried a lot of combinations of GPT/MBR and GRUB/Syslinux since my HP ProBook 6460b laptop has UEFI. If more information is needed about my current GRUB install please do ask, chroot is working just fine.
My system is updated and I'm using systemd.
What should I do to fix my boot/GRUB?
Also, I'm not sure if it's relevant, but when I try to run a Lubuntu LiveCD (same arch as my Arch install) it fallbacks to BusyBox with the error "unable to find a medium containing a live file system".
It's still a fully working TTY so I haven't bothered to research further why. Maybe just a corrupt usb memory drive (setup).

This might be the fix, but I'm not sure what I did that could've changed it. Anyway, I'm tired of having to use time maintaning my system just for a simple update and switching to Debian testing. Learning alot playing around with Arch, but the last half year or so have just felt like a big hazzle with all the (in my opinion) unecessary changes and distancing from it's BSD-like roots and KISS (systemd and all that jazz).

Insert Encoding tag into xml file. ?xml version="1.0"?

I am using oracle 10g.
I am using dbms_xmlgen.getxml function to generate xml data for oracle tables. I use utl_file to write data back into xml file.
Oracle is generating the file in the following manner...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<RSLT_ID>1</RSLT_ID>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
I want to change the following xml header to have encoding information in it as follows...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding = "AL32UTF8"?>
How do I achieve that?
Any suggestions?

I want to change the following xml header to have encoding informationIn 10g I think you could use a xmlroot hack:
SQL> select xmlroot(xmlelement(e, dummy), version '1.0" encoding="AL32UTF8') xml from dual
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="AL32UTF8"?>
<E>X</E>
1 row selected.
