Is there a limit of pictures?

Hi. I have a iPhoto problem. The library is placed on a network disk (to be accessible to two machines) and the library contains about 20 000 pictures. Up to now there has been no problem with this setup, but lately when I import pictures (from different cameras) iPhoto shows the pictures after import but one of two things happens:
1) When i close the application and open it again the latest import is gone. or 2) it shows the imported pictures but all look the same (it shows one of the pictures) until I click on them.
Any ideas?
EM

Yes there is a limit: iPhoto is rated for 250,000 photos.
The library is placed on a network disk
Do you mean a NAS?
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.

  • Desktop pictures: is there a limit to number of pictures

    Hi there
    I have a folder full of pictures (ie 6 thousand) that rotate through the desktop.
    Is there a limit to how many pictures I can have in the source folder and still have the display & computer functioning all right?
    Also, does changing the pic every 5 seconds have a negative impact on the Mac?
    thanks in advance

    That is not the best idea in the world to be using a folder with that many images.
    It requires a lot of memory usage to change the desktop pictures every 5 seconds, especially when it has to cycle through thousands of images.

    Quick Answer: Yes.

    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .

    How many photos and videos can be stored in a shared stream?
    A shared stream can hold a maximum of 5000 photos and videos combined. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos or videos before adding new ones.
    How long are iCloud Photo Sharing photos and videos stored in iCloud?
    The photos and videos you share (and the comments or Likes associated with those photos) remain in iCloud until you or the contributor delete them manually, or until you delete the shared stream completely.

  • New Photos Don't Show On My Apple TV -- Is There a limit? An "Update" button? ...?

    I have my Apple TV 2nd gen set so that after two minutes is shows photos from my computer as screensaver.
    I have an album in iPhoto where I drag the photos I want and I've told the Apple TV to pick up those photos.  Has always worked fine.
    Recently I added some pictures to that album but they don't show on the Apple TV -- just the previous photos are on display.  Is there a limit?  There are 94 photos in that album.  Have I forgotten some sort of "update" button? ...
    All the settings both on the Apple TV and my iTunes look fine and I recently ran whatever update Apple wanted me to (I had this photo hiccup both before and after that upgrade so that ain't it).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Possible iTunes issue:
    Try the following after adding photos.
    Go to file
    Then Home Sharing
    Select photos to share
    Click on All Photos already selected Do anyway
    When Apply turns black click on Apply
    Now go to Apple TV to see if photos there
    Or restart iTunes.
    Works for me every time photos do not appear on my Apple TV 3
    Hopefully will work for you.

  • Is there a limit to the number of images in a slide show?

    I am making a slide show for an event and would like to use lots of pictures, is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?

    is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?
    None that I know off. But why are you asking? Did you notice any performance problems or problems to render the slideshow? Then it would help to know more about your hardware RAM, disk, CPU ..
    If you already encountered problems, you may wish to have a look at this thread - although it relates to Aperture 3, not 2:
    Is there a limit on the number of photos you can use in an Aperture slideshow?
    And as I said in that thread:
    I'd expect the limiting factor to the length of a slide show to be the patience and "Good Will" of your intended audience

  • Is there a limit on number of people you can send an email to?

    iCloud is not letting me send a message where I had 200 recipients in the "To" field.  I was wondering if there is a limit on how many addresses you can put in the "To" field when using iCloud.  I am sending this from my iMac using the Mail application.

    Xutos, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I'm guessing it's a limit imposed by your ISP. They think you are sending SPAM. Contact your ISP & see if they have a limit.
    Also, are there any attachments (like pictures) you are sending. Many ISPs also have a limit on the max size, like 5GB, of the email.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Is there a limit to the  number of photos I can include in a PSE 12 slide show?

    I recently took a trip to Ireland and...being the camera addict that I am ...took right at 3000 pictures.  
    Obviously -- I don't want to include all of them,  but I do have several hundred that I would like to put into a slide show.   Is there a limit to the number of photos I can use?   
    Also,  I notice that there's an option for adding a narration.    I'm  new to "12",   so ....  how do I go about this?
    Hope you can point me in the right direction. 
    Thanks so much,
    MarDee

    I just discovered that I have the trial version of Adobe Premier.   I've
    been playing around with it a little bit and NOW I wonder if it might not
    be the perfect program for me to use to create my Ireland travelogue.   I'm
    about to the point of thinking that the investment in the program &
    upgrading to the "real" thing will be worth the money.
    NOW...should I do this,  is it going to be better to leave the photos in
    their current size  (just a step below RAW)   or resize them down to the
    size used in email?    That being said --- what is going to be best for
    putting on a DVD to share with friends & family.   Looks like AT LEAST 1000
    photos.

    I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up.  Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

    Try this basic troubleshooting technique:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - reboot
    4 - 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.

  • Limit of pictures for slideshow?

    Hi.
    Is there a limit to how many pictures you can have for a slideshow using Front Row? I just created a slideshow from iPhoto (latest version) with 1200 pictures. Then when I played it it just stopped after so many and the screen went blank.
    Any suggestions as to how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Which transition were you using that didn't work? I could try it myself to see if I can reproduce the issue, but I'd have to know what you were doing and make sure we both had the same versions of all the software. Perhaps it was only a temporary glitch? Can you switch the transition back to the one that didn't work and see if it's still not working? Again, I would wonder if it doesn't stop on the same picture each time.

  • Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can it be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

    Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can this numbert be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • How to Set Item limit for Picture library Slideshow webpart in SharePoint 2013

    Picture library Slideshow webpart is using the default view "All Pictures" and if I set a filter condition in the view, the images are displaying based on it but if I set an Item limit as "5" or any number in the "All Pictures"
    view it is not reflecting in the slideshow webpart.
    Any suggestion would be a great help as the users want to see only the latest 5 images in the slideshow webpart.
    Thanks & regards,
    Asha

    I don't think so there is any way to set a item count limit on Picture Library Slideshow web wart.
    Web Part setting only allows to provide library and View, In List view also you can only set Item Limit to be shown on the 'List View'. Slideshow web part take all the items in the list and show, view is only used to provide which field needs to be shown.
    There could be 2 options:
    - Write a JavaScript to limit the count, and in the view add Sorting by 'Created' date. You can get some example on how to modify "Library Slideshow web part" javascript here: http://blog.vgrem.com/2013/04/27/beyond-the-slideshow-web-part-capabilities-in-sharepoint-2010/
     This link does not have solution of what you want, but it gives a very well idea on what you can look and modify. It will not be that straight forward for sure.
     - Create a custom webpart, it could be a easier approach. As there are many slideshow Javascript library present, and through code you will just need do a query and pull data from library with required number of items to be shown.

  • How many Apps can i have on my iPod Touch, is there a limit?

    Is there a limit on how many Apps i can have on my iPod Touch?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot, that was very helpful.
    I am pretty sure that there's 16 Apps per page,
    so...16 X 9 = 144 - 13 pre installed Apps.
    131 total available (slots) for Apps.

  • Is there a limit to the amount of SWCS I can use in my Flash Builder app?

    I have 3 swc folders in my flash builder project that includes about 40 swcs total. Each swc is a simple flash animation with a size of about 500 kb each. When I include and complile about 20 of them in my project, things work fine.
    When I try to include all my swcs, the app compiles, but when i make changes in my code and save those changes, each time the compile becomes slower and eventually my flash builder freezes at about 52%, gives me a "java heap error" message, and then crashes. After restarting FB, when I take out most of the swcs from the build, FB acts normal again. Attached is a screen shot of my error.
    Is there a limit in size or amount of swcs that I can use in my FB application?

    There are no limits. But there is a known memory leak (which is being fixed for a later release).
    Would it be possible to attach a sample SWC so that we can confirm whether this is a known leak or not? I'll take care of filing this in bugs.adobe.com.
    Meanwhile, in your Flash Builder installation directory, you can edit FlashBuilder.ini to bump up max heap size by editing:
    -Xmx512m
    to
    -Xmx800m

  • Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message?

    Hello
    Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message with Mac Mail?
    I am trying to send out to c900 email addys and am being told my server does not recognise the email addresses. I will check with the folks hosting the email also.
    Many thanks
    Matthew Causon

    Ooh, yes, 900 emails at once will absolutely not work (unless you get very very lucky).
    If this is just a one-off, you should group the addresses into, at the very most, 50 addresses, and send batches. If you're doing this a lot, I would recommend using something like DirectMail.

  • Is there a limit to the number of addresses can I put into a group of multiple users in my address book?

    I have just started using Thunderbird and want to set up a number of list groups in my Address Book so that I can simply click on the list name and the email goes to multiple people.
    Is there a limit to the number of addresses that I can put into each group? Or, can I put as many addresses into each group as I want to? Thanks for your answer.

    Thunderbird has no limit.
