JPEG icons on my iPhoto screen

Here's one to chew on. I show a lot of JPEG icons in my iPhoto Library. No picture, but what are they, why are they there, and can I move them to garbage? Using iPhoto 2.0.1. I get them sometimes when I load a picture into iPhoto screen; the icon and the picture. Thanks.

Take your time going through the duplicates in the "Photo Library" view (just above "Last Import") -- one of them will likely have a smaller reported demension when you view the image (if you don't see title and date information, click the "i" button at the bottom of the Albums panel). Drag the smaller one to iPhoto's trash (or use "Move to Trash" from iPhoto's File menu). Empty iPhoto's trash when you're ready.
Once you've got your photo collection cleared up, you can move your original iPhoto Library folder from your Pictures folder to the Trash, if you haven't already done it. Just make sure you delete the correct one -- verify that you've moved the right one by starting iPhoto before emptying the Finder's trash.

  • How can I quit my iPhoto screen that as crashed and locked on. The locked screen has no iPhoto file list on the left and the part of the screen that should have uploaded photos is blank except for the rotating download icon in the centre of screen. Help?I

    My SD card reader has caused my iPhoto screen to be locked with no list of files on the lefthand side and a blank main photo area apart from the rotating download icon operating in the centre of the photo part of the screen.
    I have tried to quit iphoto but when I restart it the same locked screen appears.
    I believe I caused this problem when I removed my SD device without first ejecting it when the blank screen appeared without downloading my new photos.
    Can anyone help a 66 year old computer illiterate fool ?.
    Regards

    Use Force Quit (under the Apple menu at the top) to close iPhoto.  Then try opening it again.  If it locks up again force quit and try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
    If the problem does not persist try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    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.
    If the problem persists in the test library do the following:  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 - 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.

  • The sync icon is constantly on-screen and battery is draining really quickly.

    The sync icon is constantly on-screen and my battery is draining really quickly. I can stop it by re-starting the iPhone, but is this a known problem? The sync and iCloud seem to be working properly, but I can see the battery drop by about 1% every minute.
    Sync is taking place over wireless, but even if I sync using the cable, the icon remains on-screen even when iTunes tells me that the sync is complete.

    Yes, iOS4, latest and a 3GS.
    So, with the home button double-tap, those two apps aren't showing in the recents list?
    Nope, not showing: http://d.pr/CQnR

    Did you reset like this?... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Did that as well, still the problem remains.
    I don't know if I should really bother but I just find it weird and I think it has a slight impact on the battery time.

  • How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    The only new icons you can add to your home screen are webclips, which can be added by using the "+" button in safari on the desired web page.
    You won't be able to add new apps until February when the SDK is fully seeded to developers.

  • An app will not completely download from the App Store to my iPhone 5S. Neither can I terminate the download by trying to delete it. The app is useless to me and so I would like to remove the icon from my home screen. How can I do this?

    I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away.  I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma.  Thank you kindly.

    What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
    You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents).

  • Generic jpeg icon in finder

    I have a number of jpeg icons which appear in a generic format in Icon view in the finder, i.e.the icon simply says 'jpeg' and does not give a thumbnail of the image. if I save an image in tiff format (from Photoshop or Preview) the icon shows a thumbnail of the file's contents but Preview saves show only the generic format. Two questions: how do I make sure all jpegs are saved with a thumbnail and can I convert existing generic icons to show a thumbnail without converting them to tiffs?

    enetr command+J in finder and in the resulting popup check the box "show icon preview".

  • Why does iPhoto Screen Saver say "The selected source contains no pictures"?

    After upgrading to Lion, I noticed that I can no longer use iPhoto albums as a screen saver. At first when loading the Screen Saver preference page, the iPhoto Screen Saver doesn't show up at all. After a bit, I can see "iPhoto" as an option, but if I select it I see a message in the preview pane that says "The selected source contains no photos. Please choose a new source that contains pictures or add images to the source." There are of course plenty of images in iPhoto already. Any ideas?

    I have had some similar problems.   I think mine were cause by "interference" from my Apple TV.   By any chance do  you have an Apple TV?    I first notice the problem after viewing photos on my Apple TV as a screen show.   When I was finished I just changed my TV back to the cable box, but did not do anything to the Apple TV.  When I had the problem I went back to the Apple and switched it to something other than photos.   Now my sceen saver shows photos again.    I am guessing that the Apple TV some how locks the file such that the screen save can not get to it.
    Good luck.

  • HT4061 My iPhone prompted me to download the latest version of iOS7. I did, and now my phone won't power on. It just shows an iTunes icon on a black screen.

    My iPhone prompted me to download the latest version of iOS7. I did, and now my phone won't power on. It just shows an iTunes icon on a black screen. When I connect my phone to iTunes on my laptop, the only option it gives me is to restore my phone's factory settings. But won't this erase all my photos, contacts, etc? Any suggestions?

    It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. You have to restore the phone. Anything that was on it is already gone.
    If you've been backing up/syncing on a regular basis, you won't lose anything except what's changed since the last backup.

  • How do I make the photos on my external hard drive appear in the iPhoto screen

    I recently had my hard drive "wiped" at the Apple store to speed it up. In the process I lost a lot which I am now restoring. Prior to the wipe the photos stored in my EHD appeared in the iPhoto screen by default. I have lost that and don't know how to restore it
    Thanx for any help

  • In photoshop cc my saved files don't appear as thumbnails with the image, only with the generic tiff or jpeg icon

    how do i get actual thumbnail images in photoshop cc instead of generic tiff or jpeg icons??

    And what exactly? If you mean system thumbnails, then this has nothing to do with PS. You messed up your file associations then by installing a tool that usurped those associations and they no longer default to the Windows preview function.
