IPhoto won't save photos after using crop feature...

Okay, I don't understand if I am doing something wrong or what, but I am trying to crop and iPhoto doesn't save the pics.
This is what I am doing...I open a picture in iPhoto, click the 'crop' button, then drag the borders where I want it to crop, then I click 'done.' The 'saving changes' box with the blue & white progress bar never pops upadn ,it just shoots me back to the thumbnail screen. When I look at the file, nothing has been cropped, and I even reopen the file, and again, nothing cropped.
If I open a picture and use the 'effects' button and make changes, it saves with no problem. It just doesn't want to save any crops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sportscrazed33:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to hit the crop button after selecting the area to crop. If you're cropping to a predetermined ratio that's in the Constrain menu it will automatically select an area to crop that you can then adjust. You don't need to hit the Crop button before selecting the area. Then hit the Done button. It's not intuitive but that's the way it is.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Iphoto won't display photos after a certain date

Hi,
I am having trouble with iPhoto 9.5.1
I just restored my Mac from a Time Machine back up using Migration Assistant after the internal hard drive stopped working and had to be replaced. I am now running OSX 10.9.3 on a late 2009 iMac. When I first reopened iPhoto after the restore, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade my iPhoto library, which I did. Then it told me it needed to repair permissions, which I did. Then it asked me to update iPhoto to the latest version, which I did. Only after that did I notice that when I double click on the thumbnails the photo won't enlarge - I get a grey triangle with an exclamation mark in it instead. The thumbnails appear okay until I click on them, and the info (date, camera, file size etc) all looks normal. I have tried repairing permissions again, as well as repairing and rebuilding the database.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

The connection between the thumbnails and original image files has been lost when restoring from Time Machine. Try to rebuild the restored library using iPhoto Library Manager:
You can download it here: iPhoto Library Manager ;
use the "Rebuild" function from the library menu.
Rebuilding will create a new library and copy most of the items from the old library to the new library. Only books, cards, calendars will be missing.
See Terence Devlin's post for more details: Re: iPhoto 9.5.1 - Unable to repair permissions

After I upgrated to os x 10.8.2. Using Iphoto It doesnt save photos to iphoto from attached mails

This is a bug, see this thread:
Re: Add to iPhoto not working from Mail app
For a work-around see wales34 post in the link above:
To save a photo in an email to iPhoto make a detour to Preview:
instead of clicking "Save" photo in the email, click "Quick Look"
Expand the photo to full screen
click the icon for "Add to iPhoto".

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.

Iphoto won't share photos by email, share file won't open.

iphoto won't share photos by email, share file won't open. what do I do?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhoto won't download photos from camera.

iPhoto won't download photos from camera. iMac 10.6.8; iPhoto updated. No Name comes up, says "downloading," but color wheel only goes round and round. I've let it go on for 20" to no avail. Only way to get out of iPhoto then is to Force Quit. Tried downloading pictures through a Card Reader with same results.
Same camera, same procedure for last 5 years and never had this problem. Thanks for any advice.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Iphoto won't import photos from Kodak EasyShare Camera

I have alsways been able to import photos from my canon camera directly into iphoto. I just purchased a Kodak Easyshare Camera. When I hook it up to my computer, it won't import the photos. The camera does come with it's own EasyShare Software - but I really don't want to import it into my computer. I want the photos to import directly into iphoto library. My Canon Camera still imports into the library. Help.

sunnydays:
Does System Profiler recognize the camera when it's connected? What version of iPhoto and Quicktime are you at. If not the latest then I suggest you update to 6.0.0 and 7.2 respectively. I'd also update to 10.4.10 via the COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you have iPhoto erase the memory card after each upload? If so, I strongly recommend against it as I've seen too many reports of incomplete uploads and complete erasures. It's safer to have the camera reformat the card after the upload.

Save photo after rotating?

Hey everyone, can someone tell me how to save the photo after I rotated it? It seems like it only rotates the photo in iPhoto, but when you open the original files it doesn't save the rotation. I'm would to rotate photos and save them. Any help? Thanks!

Waylon
You'll need to export them from iPhoto to a folder and then import that into FCE. This is because FCE, like it's big brother FCP and even Aperture, want to manage the files themselves and so won't integrate with a consumer level app like iPhoto. This is the only safe way to do this. It's certainly the fastest - and a whole lot faster than trying to locate a single pics in iPhoto Library Folder / Originals/ Rollwhatever - or Modified / Roll Whatever. Remember, that's a very good way to damage your library.

How/where do I save photos after editing in DxO Pro?

Previously I have used iPhoto for all my photo storage/editing, but have just started using DxO Pro9 as my external editor, btu am confused as to what to do with the newly edited images. Exporting to Application does not work as iphoto cannot read the file. Exporting to original folder (uising the RAW image from the Masters sub-folder to start with) does not seem to show in the previews, back in iPhoto. Best I've managed so far is exporting to desktop, then dragging back into iPhoto, so it is imported again, but this means everything get duplicated doubling the amount of disk space used. Any suggestions, please?

If DxO Pro9 is a photo editor then set it as the external editor and when finished editing save (not save as) to return the image to iPhoto - other wise you have to save to the desktop and reimport giving your multiple copies
And what ever you do stop directly accessing the contents of the iPhoto library - it is not supported and will cause you problems - as an external editor you can choose in the iPhoto preferences to use the RAW - but if you do then you still have to save to the desktop and reimport the edited photo
supported access to your photos is described here - How to Access Files in iPhoto

IPhoto won't import photos from new 70D

Hi - I'm hoping for some guidance. I was a Rebel Xsi user for years, and just got a 70D. I used to be able to plug my camera in and iphoto would open up and import everything. Now, it only works sporadically, which is even weirder than not working at all. Right now I have 100+ photos from two important events sitting on my memory card that iphoto won't recognize. It imported about a dozen photos I took today without a problem, though. The photos are viewable from the camera. I can't recall changing any settings between taking those photos and the ones I took today. It doesn't make a difference if I plug the SD card directly into my computer; the software is still not recognizing any of the photos that are on the card. Any ideas?
Using:
Canon EOS70D
Macbook Pro with iPhoto '09

Note that on a 70D the WiFi feature must be disabled in order to transfer images to your computer via USB method.
This only applies to the cameras that have WiFi (70D & 6D).
Also, if you do shoot in RAW format, then you'll need to make sure your computer is updated with the latest Camera RAW Updates from Apple. This only applies to RAW... not JPEG. Also I noticed you mentioned iPhoto '09 ... which is rather old and made me wonder if your version of OS X might also be old. Apples Camera RAW updates are provided at the operating system level (because the same Camera RAW update is shared by Finder, Preview, iPhoto, Aperture, and anything else that might need to decode a RAW file. My point for mentioning this is that if your OS version is too old then Apple may no longer be providing updates. In that case you'd need to updgrade the OS (but Apple gives their OS upgrades away -- they don't charge for them.)

Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

Sounds like you have a damaged library7 To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos. If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
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 files that are 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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
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- want to keep photos after import not delete

I want to keep the photos on my camera disc after i import into iphoto- when I import and it asks me if I want to keep photos- i click on keep photos and it deletes them off my disc? How do I import and save photos?

When I import it makes you select either delete or keep photos on disc- I have tried both keep and delete and both options delete- are you saying I can by pass that last step of the import and not have to select either delete or keep?
Thanks

Firefox won't save photos as jpegs, rather it saves as firefox docs

When I right click a photo and choose "save as image as", Firefox saves the image as a Firefox document, not a jpeg as it used to.
I can, however, save the photo as a jpeg if I add ".jpg" to the photo's file name prior to saving it, which becomes burdensome if saving many photos.
Any ideas how to make Firefox save photos as jpeg files by default?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

N96 Won't save photos

I have an old N96 i use for taking photographs and yesterday it stopped working. It takes the photo but won't save it to the phone i plugged it in opnedd up pc suite and the photos were not there either what can i do?
tia

Hi keirah,
Where is the default saving location of the photos? Is it to the phone memory or SD card? If you've saving it to the SD card, can you try to use the memory card to other devices and check if it will work? We also suggest that you use a Nokia memory card to avoid errors in saving data. If the saving location is set to the phone memory, you can try to perform a soft reset by dialing *#7780#. If you will be asked to enter a code, enter 12345 if the code has not been changed yet.
Let me know the outcome.
