Lightroom 3 issue (all gray pics)

I had this issue a few months ago, but can't find the post/answer.
I have been working with a set of pictures in LR3 for a few days.
Today I came back and all the pictures (in the Grid View-Library, on the bottom
strand in Develop and in any other view) are all just gray boxes. If I select
one, it takes a LONG time to load and display. And theoretically, I would
have to do this for all of 500 pictures.
I've tried to switch to another folder of pics, same issue. Restarting, same issue.
I seem to think I had to reset something in the internal settings...

Can you post a screenshot of the following 2 tabs in Win7 color management:
(select your display under "Device" first)

I connected my iphone 4 to itunes and it automatically updated, now I am connected to icloud and all my pics are gone. Also, I have all my sons contacts on my phohe. How do I get my content back to the prior state?

Hey kaylactm,
Thanks for the question. I understand how frustrating this may be. To resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your device in recovery-mode:

Why all gray in sidebar? Lost functionality!

I've just upgraded (? not convinced I'm seeing an improvement) from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 and am very disappointed to see that everything in the sidebar is shown in shades of gray. I've used FolderBrander for many years to color code my finder folders and it was great that the folder colors also appeared in the sidebar in 10.6.8. I could group associated folders by color in the sidebar and that made for very rapid and accurate access deep into my folder architecture. I am mourning this lost functionality.
Could someone suggest how I could send this dissatisfaction along to Apple along with a request to restore colors to the sidebar?

As an update, that 3rd party program called SideEffects didn't continue to enable the colors in the sidebar to appear. What I find most interesting is that the original color designations ARE present, it's just that some additional code eliminates them from appearing. Seems like Apple should easily be able to give the user the option whether to stay with the insipid all gray theme with colored tags or to re-enable the highly functional display of colors in the sidebar in a window and in the sidebar in the "save as" windows. There's no reason that we couldn't have both the "tags" (apparently meant for people who don't use the folder hierarchy when saving files to enable them to rapidly find their files again) and the previous nicely colorful "labels". I see that the gray sidebar has been a complaint ever since OS 10.7 Lion, but that Apple hasn't fixed the issue through several major OS revisions..
I feel I've been punished for being very ordered in where I save files on my HD since I made extensive use of the tools provided by Apple in the past: I could color-group subdirectories on my HD within the sidebar to give me very quick access to different portions of the subdirectories I'd made within my Documents folder. I made less use of labels, but also found them to be superior to tags for how I do use them. I have found tags to be of no value to me, at the expense of the loss of something that was of value. I sure hope that Yosemite corrects this — but I’m beginning to have less faith that Apple is even listening to its customers — except for those who use the iOS and not the Mac OS.

I imported all my pics..again..and cant find photos to add as attatchments

so as stated i imported all my pics onto my HD, so my 1600 something is now 3200 and at 2 gig of pics i'd like to get rid of all these doubles without loosing the first generation of pics..also as above, i installed ilife08 onto my macbook and now i am unable to just go to my iphotot to attatch any pics after my upgrade..i can do it but have to go and copy pics to my desktop and then refigure out what i did last time to attatch to the email...kind of frustrating so any help is much appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Two separate issues:
i imported all my pics onto my HD, so my 1600 something is now 3200
Were these in an earlier version of iPhoto? The correct way to to this is to copy the IPHOTO LIBRARY FOLDER from the Pictures Folder on the Old machine and put it in the same location on the new one. Then start iPhoto. It will do the rest. There is no IMPORTING involved. What you've done by importing is bring the Pics plus their thumbnails into iPhoto as new pics. So, if you still have that old library intact, trash the new one and start over. If you haven't then check out Duplicate Annihilator
Second issue:
What do you use for email?
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
*If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use* THIS
*Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.*

Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to d

Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to do is view it ?

My local computer shop solved the problem. Apparently when you download cloud it changes a lot of settings.
So second issue.
Why do I now get asked to burn to disc rather than saving to my hard drive when I want to export from Lightroom ?

Iphone 4S takes really bad pics when using the flash. All the pics have a white haze. Is there a fix to this?

When I try and click pics in low light with my iphone 4s, the quality is really poor with a white haze on all the pics. The iphone 4 had a similar problem and I upgraded thinking they may have fixed this. We tried taking some pics on NY's eve with the iphone but the result was really poor. Switched to my wife's blackberry and got amazing results. So I guess its a software related issue. If blackberry cameras can give such amazing pics with a flash why cant iphones? Apple please fix.

@Holman - I only have a bumper on my phone, no screen protector or plastic cover but thanks for stating the obvious.
@Dave - Posting some pics here which show the white haze when taking pics in low light using flash. I know numerous other iphone 4/4S owners who have the same complaint and also the forum is full of people having similar queries so I guess mine is not a one off case.
As you can see there is a white haze in both these pics and every other pic I take in low light. Using this phone's camera in a nightclub is almost embarassing when blackberry users see the results.

HT1222 When is the newest, latest update coming out? I have a bug. I can't use my wifi. I can't even tap the wifi , it's all grayed out. I have an iPhone 3g.

When is the newest, latest update coming out? I have a bug. I can't use my wifi. I can't even tap the wifi , it's all grayed out. I have an iPhone 3g.

There are no more future updates for iPhone 3G. There is probably a hardware issue with your phone that an update would not fix.

HT201210 I have just connected my Ipad to my mac and went to upload all the pics from my mac onto my ipad but doing so it has overwrote everything on my ipad and therefore the pics on my ipad have gone!!!

I took the orginal photos on my iphone over the past couple of years and bit by bit i uploaded them onto my sony lap top in albums... Nothing to do with itunes...
A few months ago as my laptop didn't seem as reliable so i uploaded all the pics onto my ipad from my laptop, it was today where i thought i will upload more from my phone onto the mac then onto my ipad but insted it overwrote all the pics on my ipad.
I had tried to do the back up and it didnt work the photos were lost.
Then my ipad later today was driving me insane and wouldnt delete any of the pics so i just restrored it back to factory settings.
My laptop has had issues so i have in restored all that to.
I will now in the future just upload from my phone straight to my mac and not mess about wanting pics on my ipad.
I appricate your help but i am pretty sure i have lost all of my photos... My kids 1st day at school the lot...

Itunes will not download all my pics to iphone but did to ipod

resized all my pics, over 7000 (did not need full size pics on a small screen), and attempted to reload on my iphone5 and ipod. the ipod took a couple tries but eventually loaded them all. the iphone does a little over half and will not load anymore. any reasons, suggestions, or issues. these have already been loaded on iphone previously with no problem

also i have read from a couple posts that i should try deleting my cache folder and resync it with the iphone. does this mean next time i plug in my ipod will it try and rsync all the photos back on it?considering the amount it takes some time and several syncings

Nokia Image Store thinks all the pics on my phone ...

Hi,
Today Nokia Image Store (PC Suite 6.84.10.3) is trying to transfer all the images on my phone (Nokia 6682) to my computer. I have tried rebooting my computer and my phone and it didn't help. I have about 500 pics on my phone and want to avoid transferring them all again.
Is there a way to correct this problem (i.e. remind Image Store that all the pics from my phone have already been transferred)?
Thank you.
Asa

Thanks. It was already setup to use a subdirectory with the transfer date.. I shave sucked it in and followed your suggestion to just let it copy them again. Not such a big deal I guess

My Preview is open all my pics at time instead of open one by one. It occurs when I try to open any type of JPEG file. That's strange and I'm a new macbook user. I hope somebody can help me out. Thanks

First use JPanel not Panel.
Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
panels=new Panel();
panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
panels=new JPanel();
panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

My iPhoto won't open. It says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or no longer readable." Please tell me I haven't lost all my pics?! I do not have them backed up. I have tried restarting my mac. Please Help!

What haven't you backed them up? You should always have a back up of any important material on your Mac. Make one now:
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
What version of iPhoto do you have?

My partner and I share the powerbook and I use my iPad, Though we each log in with separate accounts all my pics and music are in both libraries . Can I isolate accounts from iCloud ?

Not quite sure exactly what you want to do, but you cannot do it on a PowerBook. iCloud requires Lion and Lion requires an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

I have had to update my iphone 4 through itunes and it has come up that itunes has found a iphone that is in recovery and needs to be restored, I cannot loose all my pics on my phone so need to know what I can do! My phone is not working now.

I have had to update my iphone 4 in itunes and it has now come up with a message, itunes has found a iphone in recovery and needs to restore it.
I dont want to do this as I cannot loose all my pics on my phone!
My phone is now not working and has an itunes symbol on it with a usb cord!!!!
Please help!!

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

IPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4 either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement.
