Is there a virus scanner for iPhoto? Photos are superimposing on another?

One particular photo keeps superimposing onto many other photos so when they are opened only a black square reveals or else a black square with an exclamation mark in it. How do I detect a virus and wipe it out? Maddie

That's not a virus that's a damaged library database.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
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.

  • Is there a Plug-IN for Kodak Photo CD

    I have 7 old Kodak Photo CD's that I want to download to My Pictures. I have done it, in using Flicker to  that program but, cannot download to the "C" Drive ?
    ANY IDEAS.?
    AFTER 20 YEARS THE QUALITY IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE ?
    Thanks, I have checked out the plug -ins fron Kodak but, they do not work on a i7 64 bit system ?

    Thanks R_Kelly,
    I was fiddling with 512 x 768 originally because of the high cost back 20 years , but, nevertheless, the result at the smaller size will do., well it will have to.. The Master Photo CD stands up pretty well on a SONY 55" HD monitor.
    Thank you for your interest., we could be all dead at our age, I must hit the defrag button ? (Unless you are a young fellow and really with it). My son who is in high definition video production cannot believe the quality out of the old Ektachromes and Kodachromes ?
    The color and sharpness was spot on , I was using a Canon A1 with an L Series Pro F1.2  55 mm lena in those days.
    Give me some details if you can   >
    "There is also an adobe plugin for Kodak pcd files that works on the windows side with the pse 6 editor and organizer
    and it's not to hard to install if your interested."
    My wife still uses PE 6 for craft jobs, it is probably easier to use the  PsE13  from what she has tried , and gone back..

  • HT2311 Is there a virus protection for the apple iPad and iPad Air and iPhone 5 that we need to use for security?

    Is there a virus protection for the apple iPads including the iPad Air and the iPhone 5, and if there is, how do we download it into our apple products? With everything that is going on it seems like I'm having more problems with freezing and crashing, getting kicked off my sites more often then ever! Is there a way to stop this?

    There is no known malware capable of infecting an iOS device, unless it has been jailbroken. Due to the security that prevents malware, real anti-virus software on iOS is not possible, so none exists.
    As to the problem, I'm unclear on exactly what you're seeing. What exactly does it mean to get "kicked off your sites?"

  • Is there a virus scan for ipad

    Is there a virus scan for ipad

    As of now there are no known viruses for the iOS operating system. So you should be relatively safe and there's no need for anti virus software.
    YOu still need to practice safe intrernetting. Don't click on random links in e-mails, don't enter your personal data into sites you don't know, etc. You can still receive phishing mails and the such.
    But the nature of the iOS makes it very virus resistant (with the caveat as long as you don't jail break it, if you jail break it then it's no different from other devices and you're on your own there)

  • IPhoto library will not open, says to open must upgrade to latest version but there is no update for iPhoto!

    All of the sudden, iPhoto library will not open because it says I must update to latest version for it to open. There is no update for iPhoto in the App Store. As far as my computer shows, I have the latest version. iPhoto version 9.5.1 was installed December 13, 2013. HELP!

    Go to your Applications Folder and open it there. Drag a new icon down to the Dock.
    The old version is preservered,  and the old icon is on the Dock- remove it.

  • My iphoto photos are missing, what should i do?

    hi
    my iphoto photos are missing, what should i do?
    can anyone help me please.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain 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.

  • Is there a keyboard stroke for tagging photos in iPhoto?

    I would like to learn of a keyboard stroke for tagging photos in iPhoto.  I called apple a while back and was told there is no such shortcut.  You have to manually click on "add a face."  Then, if you want to tag multiple people in one photo, you have to manually click in each tag box to name them.  When iPhoto doesn't automatically detect faces, and the tag boxes are added manually, it is not possible to tab from on tag box to another.  It's infuriating! 

    I'd suggest posting your question in the iPhoto forum here, as that's where the true experts hang out.  Here's a link for you:

  • Isn't there an easier way for iPhoto to show (Photoshop) edited RAW photos?

    Hi fellow Apple community members, below is a (very) detailed description of my problem>
    Once I'm done shooting with my Canon DSLR i auto-import my pics into iPhoto '11.
    My pics are shot in RAW format.
    I have Photoshop CS6 set as my default image editor via iPhoto.
    Once my image is edited via Photoshop i then save the image with two different methods:
    i use the "save image..." button in the Camera RAW editing window and proceed to save the image in the same location and the same as the original name in the iPhoto directory.
    The second method is to open the image as a non "Smart Object" file then proceed to save the image as a JPEG via "Save As", also in the same the location and file name as the original
    The problem is once i've done the saving of the file. iPhoto doesn't show edits done to the original photo or even show a edited copy.
    I CAN locate the edited images via the route directory within iPhoto's Finder menus.
    So i assumed if i imported those edited copies it would then show in iPhoto but no cigar - A error message pops up: "The following file could not be imported . The file is in the iPhoto Library."
    I then re-locate the edit files to another location, then import it into iPhoto and only then does it shows up in iPhoto - successfully edited.
    So my question would be...isn't there a better or easier way for iPhoto to show your edited photos without having to jump through so many hoops?

    There is no solution to this - and the same problem arises with Aperture too. The question to ask yourself is which Raw processor you want to use and then your Photos go there first.
    As Larry says, iPhoto is pretty much pointed at the shooter with a point and shoot or phone who takes snaps to share with family and friends. Pros or serious hobbyits, people shooting large volumes, people shooting Raw migrate to the more powerful apps sooner or later.
    Going forward, I would suggest that you explore apps like Lightroom and Aperture which make the Raw processing - and many other - element of Photoshop redundant. While iPhoto uses the same processing engine as Aperture it has less fine control. Photoshop for the photographer is on the way out. It's too expensive, most of its features are aimed at graphic artists rather than shooters. The future for Photographers is apps like Aperture, Lightroom with something like Elements for the odd touchups that these apps can't manage.

  • I created a new Lightroom catalog for iPhone photos. After importing files from iPhoto photos are randomly popping up and deleting other photos! Is this a virus? A bug? A corrupt catalog? How do I fix it? I just installed 5.6 and that didn't resolve it.

    I updated my computer software...I don't know what else to do and I can't find any information about this online.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Geoff  for a few years I used iPhoto for my iPhone files.
    Now that I am not using iPhoto any longer I attempted to move my old iPhoto phone files into my Lightroom iPhone catalog.
    A couple possibilities are that:
    1) There was a problem with the export/import from iPhoto to Lightroom. I've been reading up on how to do it correctly...
    One article said to make a copy of the master catalog in iPhoto, export it and then import it into Lightroom. This is what I did.
    I read another article that said exporting as Original from iPhoto and then importing into LR also worked so I did that with another iPhone catalog from my laptop.
    2) Maybe it's a file name situation? Perhaps the phone rolled over and there are old and new files with the same names.
    The strange thing about that is that older photos are popping up and replacing/deleting newer ones.
    I would think the newer files would replace older ones if that was the case.
    Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

  • Had to erase HD, is there any chance in recovering iPhoto photos

    Had to erase my hard drive and was unable to back up, is there any chance I can recover iphoto photos? I was able to copy most of my hard drive to an external but am unable to locate if there were any photos that made it.

    File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store
