My iphoto doesn't show on my screen anymore

i don't know what happened but my iphoto doesnt show on my scrren anymore even though it's open, except i put it to 'fullscreen'....I can see the iphoto icon open up and can see it on the exposé but it doesnt stay on the screen,it barely pops on the screen, i can only recognise it's presence in the exposé and the iphoto name and quick options on top of the screen.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

My smartwatch 2 doesn't show the home screen

Hi,
Just got my smartwatch 2 yesterday. I successfully paired it with my Xperia z. Now the watch doesn't show the home screen it only shows dimmed time. When I try to touch the home button it doesn't do anything, I tried updating it but still the same problem. I received a call on my mobile and I was able to manage it from the watch by cancelling or answering. Any ideas.
Solved!

BUG! lightroom 3.4.1 Adjustment Brush Doesn't Show It's "Button" Anymore

Adjustment Brush Doesn't Show It's "Button" Anymore:
I installed the update for 3.4.1 and warm re-booted my computer.
The button that you saw after painting (releasing the mouse button), is no longer there.
There is nothing to hover over to see what area you painted and if you Close the brush, and reopen it, the button does not appear.
HALP!

Disregard my second message about not understanding your email reply.
I thought I had to hit "H" to see a link -on the email- to confirm my registration.
I didn't realize it was your answer.
Since I had just installed my 3.4.1 update and the default on my installed version of LR, and since my 'pins' have never been hidden, the 3.4.1 default of hiding the pins was a problem and is likely to fool a lot of users that hadn't read about hiding those pins yet. Shouldn't the installation of -any- new version, pick up the defaults currently in LR? That is an issue.
We're good now.
Thanks for the response.

IPhoto doesn't show magnified photos

iPhoto shows only thumbnails and when I doble click on a photo, only change the bottom bar tool, but the display doesn't refresh and the thumbnail photos keep showing on the screen. Also when I select Edit a photo, the display area where it was supposed to show the full size image keep black.
I right click on a photo and choose ->Show File and I see that the photo's path is Macintosh_HD/users/AngelSolorio/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Madrid/"x".jpg. And the size is 3.1 MB.
However, if I doble click over any image in my Hard Drive, Preview doesn't show anything.
Someone can help me, please?

How are you getting the images into the library? You must import them. This is from the iPhoto help:
In addition to transferring photos from your digital camera, you can import photos from a flash drive, memory card reader, CD or DVD, or other locations on your computer’s hard disk.
If you’re using Mail, you can drag photos directly from an email into iPhoto. To import photos received when using another email client, including webmail, or when downloading photos from the web, first save the photos to your desktop or in a folder on your hard disk.
You can also scan photos and save them on your computer or save emailed photos on your hard disk, and then import them into iPhoto.
iPhoto supports popular file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and RAW. Other formats also work but are not fully supported.
To import photos without a digital camera:
In iPhoto, choose File > “Import to Library.”
Navigate to the location of the photos you want to import (for example, a CD icon on your desktop or a scanned photo file saved in a folder on your hard drive).
Select one or more photos, or select an entire folder or disk.
Click Import.
You can also drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into the viewing area. If you drag a folder, one or more Events are created based on subfolders and the dates the photos were taken.
IMPORTANT:Wait until all photos have been transferred into iPhoto or click Stop Import before ejecting a memory card, CD, or DVD.
NOTE:Some card readers may not be compatible with iPhoto. For more information, check with the manufacturer of the device.

IPhoto doesn't show thumnails

iPhoto 9.2.3 seems to have lost all my thumnail. all my events and albums have the same thumnail of me and when I open an album or event it doesn't show me the thumnail, it's an empty grey box. I have to click on the grey box to open the picture. What should I do?

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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Iphoto doesn't show photos in other user-account

Hi,
I have the iPhoto-Lib in the public folder of my user-account. All other users have full access to this folder and subfolder. When another user logs in and opens iphoto (no other user has iphoto open) it shows the preview off all pictures. He can open older pictures by double click. Newer Photos are not shown after double click. An triangle with exclamation mark shows up shortly after the picture was shown.
When I login all the pictures are shown as preview and after double click.
Any ideas?
Peter

Using that form of sharing the Library should be in the Users/Shared folder, not the Public folder.
However, lots of people report permissions issues with this form of sharing and instead I suggest using an external HD set to ignore permissions and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Iphoto doesn't show pictures - only a white screen is opening

hello!
i've got an new imac. on 21. april i moved my iphoto library from an old power pc with iphoto 8.1.2 to my new imac. the iphoto library works without problems.
last week i put on my iphone and itunes and iphones opened automatically. Now i've seen, that iphoto shows no pictures. I took the iphone from the usb cable and started iphoto again. It shows no photos again, only a white screen.
I read all discussion-themes and tried to delete the existing iphoto library and create a new one, I delete the preferences plists, I repair all options that will be appear, if i push alt+cmd,I replaced the iphoto library and the programm iphoto with my timemachine backup. but nothing happened.
today i moved the iphoto librarys to an extern hard disc. I removed all things from iphoto and installed iphoto from the system cd.
again an white screen is opening. if i click to add a new album, the left bar is visible. I click to import photos. the programm runs and can not complete the import. i have to quit the programm with taskmanager.
i hope someone can help me!

please excuse my english :-))
I hope you understand what I mean

IPhoto doesn't show thumbnails anymore

I actually figured this out- I am posting this as a solution, not a problem. It frustrated me but I figured it out.
THE PROBLEM:
You click on an "event" and it brings up a picture from that event, however you can only see one picture. Clicking left-right on either the buttons or the keyboard move you to different events, not to different pictures. You have tried to go to "View -> Thumbnails -> Show" but it's all gray, meaning theoretically you ARE in thumbnail view, even though you can only see the one picture.
THE REASON & SOLUTION:
The possible reason you are having this problem is the magnification slider in iPhoto on the bottom right. While in thumbnail view, apparently, you can zoom all your thumbnails in to a point where it's only showing one picture- but you cannot browse the rest of the album or event this way. If you are having the problem above, then your magnification slider should be all the way to the right. Move it to the left, and other thumbnails should start to appear. Eventually you see all your thumbnails again. You can still scroll through all the photos using the full-screen thumbnail view by clicking/scrolling up and down, not left to right. There should be a scroll bar visible on the right. Its not obvious like on these discussion boards, but its there.
Hope that helps. I would like to have Apple change this behavior- it will deffinetly frustrate a lot of people.

this is a known bug (or maybe a "feature" - who knows)
Please provide feedback to Apple re this to be sure they understand users view of it - iphoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

IPhoto doesn't show all tagged photos

I Apply tags to my photos in iPhoto on ios to keep them organized and easily searchable. But when I select a tag to filter all the photos it has been applied to it doesnt show all. The tag reads 30 photos but only nine of them are displayed in the grid after selecting the tag. Is this a known bug?

Hello foo-on-air,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are seeing. If you are having issues viewing all of your tagged photos in iPhoto for iOS, you may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
View flagged, tagged, hidden, or edited photos
Tap the label above the thumbnail grid.
If the thumbnail grid doesn’t appear, tap . (The orientation of this button changes depending on the orientation of your device.)
Tap an option to select the photos you want to see. To see only hidden photos, tap Hidden. To see all your photos (including the hidden ones), tap All & Hidden.
To view photos that meet several criteria (for example, photos with multiple tags), tap Advanced. Tap Any to display photos that meet any of the included criteria; tap All to display photos that meet all of the criteria.
To sort the photos by the date they were taken, tap either Oldest First or Newest First.
You can also display photos based on more complex criteria that includes or excludes certain types of photos from being displayed. After you tap the label above the thumbnail grid to open display options, tap Advanced. You can then select which type of items should be included or excluded from display. Tap Any to display items that meet any of the Included criteria. Tap All to display only items that meet all of the Included criteria.
What are albums?

IPhoto doesn't show most of the Faces in the Confirm Additional Faces dialogue

The latest (2013) version of iPhoto is doing strange things when tagging Faces.
I have several dozen people identified in Faces but with the new version (on Mavericks), when I go to the Faces screen the pictures for each person have been replaced with black squares.
When I double-click to add more Faces tags, then click on the Confirm Additional Faces dialogue, most of the pictures that are proposed for tagging are also shown as black squares. A few of the images will actually show the faces that iPhoto has identified, but most of them are black squares and therefore rather impossible to tag!
Hopefully Apple will pick up on this bug and fix it ASAP. Thanks!

Hi Dazza9999,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're only seeing black squares in Faces after upgrading, I suggest using the Photo Library First Aid menu to repair or rebuild your iPhoto library.
Before troubleshooting, it is a very good idea to back up your iPhoto library.
Important:
You should back up your existing iPhoto Library before using the rebuild feature. A backup allows you to restore the iPhoto Library if anything unexpected happens during the rebuild that prevents the library from rebuilding correctly.
Before performing a rebuild, you should install any iPhoto updates by using Software Update. If a software update resolves your issue, then you don't need to rebuild.
See this article for the steps to back up your computer with Time Machine:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Once your iPhoto library is backed up, follow these steps to use iPhoto Library First Aid:
To rebuild the iPhoto library:
Quit iPhoto if it is open.
Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard.
Open iPhoto.
Keep the keys held down until you are prompted to rebuild the library.
A dialog will appear with rebuild options. Select the options you want to use.
Try each step in order, testing to see if the issue is resolved between each step.

HT1339 I have an Ipod nano 5th Gen and the screen has been completely white for quite a while now. The music still plays and you can here the scrolling noise. It doesn't show anything on screen. I've tried everything on apple website to fix it but nothing

Hello,
My Ipod nano 5th Generation has gone to a white screen. I shows absolutely nothing. When I charge it it does not show the battery charge status. When I reset it I never see the apple logo. When it is on though I can still listen to music and it scrolls through the menus. Can you tell me what is wrong and how do I fix it?

If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Or sent it to Apple

Dock doesn't show in full screen Safari

I have the dock set to reveal itself when I go to the bottom of the screen. When I'm in full screen mode in Safari it takes me swiping down at least 3 or 4 times before the dock will appear. I've tried it in other apps on full screen and it still doesn't react as easily as it should but not as bad as Safari.
I'm assuming only an update from Apple will fix this. I'm posting here in hopes they read this and fix it. (Hope I'm posting in the correct area for that).
Thanks

Well you could try rebooting or
in the terminal.app relaunch the Dock, copy and paste:
killall Dock
