Curious. Thanks

Sorry that deleting iPhoto's preferences didn't work for you.
Also try repairing permissions. With iPhoto closed, go to your Utilities folder and open Disk Utility. Select your Hard Drive using its name, not the numerical icon.
Then click on the 'repair disk permissions' option and wait for the process to finish.
You also might want to clean out your caches. You can use an app like "CacheOutX" for this.
Then, try a computer restart and then relaunch iPhoto and see if you still have the same problem. Post back if it is not resolved and we will try something further.

  • NEF(raw) photos turn into jpg when i drag from iphoto to my desktop?

    why do my NEF(raw) photos from my nikon D90 turn into jpg when i drag them from iphoto to my desktop? i can not work on them in PS unless i dig into the original files in the masters list. i download them from the card, both go in, and if i look at the info it says that they are both there one in jpg and one in raw format side by side.  what am i missing and how can i drag the raw photo onto the desktop keep it in that format so that i can then put into PS.

    thank you just tried and worked just fine, did not set any advanced options but opened up in PS any way.

  • B&W photos turn into negatives

    I transferred some photos, some black and white, to iPhoto8 and when I double click them to enlarge them in iPhoto a few of the B&W photos turn into negatives. When I first transferred them the icons were black; I updated the icons and got the pictures back but now they show in the icons as positives, in the enlarged view as negatives. How can I correct this? I want to make a slideshow in the MacBook as it has the later version. They show correctly in iPhoto 5 on the Mac Quicksilver.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The usual cause of the problem is that the photos have a greyscale color profile attached to them. iPhoto only works with RGB profiles. You can change the profile using the Tools menu in Preview.

  • Screen turns into blue when i upgrade the software for iphone 5s

    screen turns into blue when i upgrade the software for iphone 5s

    There's way too much blue in that green screen
    This is green
    Try pulling down the spill level and reducing the spill tint. You're probably going to have to tweak the color selection manually.

    Please don't shout.
    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Choice list in af:query turns into inputText when AM pooling is disabled

    Hi all,
    I have a choice list field in an af:query search area. This field is based on attribute FlagYN VARCHAR2(1) and is bound to a list of values.
    When AM pooling is disabled, executing the search makes that field loose its Display property and search operator original value: it turns into an inputText, the operator, originally set as "equal to" is now "less than" and the expected value is now the index in the choice list.
    What can be happening?
    Thanks

    Anyone has the same problem?
    Edited by: Marge on 02-sep-2010 3:02

    Hi,
    there are two bugs associated with bind variables in successors that I am aware of. One of them is supposed to be fixed in the next patch set, another one is still open. However, both problems were found with AM pooling enabled as well, so I don't know this is the same problem (though it sounds like). If you can, I suggest to create a reproducible testcase on one of the Oracle database schema, like HR or OE, and file a bug. If you don't have a time for or access to support, send the test case in a zip file (rename ".zip" to ".unzip") to the mail Id you find in my OTN profile. However, be aware that when I file the bug then it wont be visible for you, nor can it be escalated on your behalf. Anyway, at least it would get filed

  • Hi, My atachments /any file format/ turns into .dat when I mail them into my own iPad2. What to do??

    Hi
    When I email an attachment /any file format/ from my PC to my iPad2 the attached file turns into a .dat file
    What to do?
    Regards

    An Alias would be an email address that is delivered to a different account's inbox.
    For instance if you have  [email protected] and have [email protected] Then [email protected] would be an alias if mails from that address arrive at the icloud address.
    If you want to add a completely different account, with a spearate inbox, like an account in hotmail and one in say yahoo mail. Then as has been pointed out, you need to go into the  Settings Icon, Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then on add account. The iPad has several services preconfigured, you can tap on one of those from the list to setup an email for that service. Such as Hotmail, Gmail etc...
    Or you can tap on other to add a personal pop3 or imap type email like from your office, or your school.

  • HT201317 Why do my photos turn upside down when I send them as an email? Garry

    Why do my photos come out upside down when I send them via email?
    Garry

    This went wrong here:
    I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
    I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • PDF comments turning into code when copied

    When copying long comments to paste into another document, the comment (not the copied text) changes to some kind of code—see below. If I close the PDF before saving, it reverts to the original comment. If not, the code remains. This has happened since OS 10.7 and with Acrobat 9, X and XI CC.

    Hi Will,
    This is a known issue and a Bug(3830298) has been logged for the same.

  • Comments turning into code when clicking checkmark

    When I receive a PDF with comments, clicking on the checkmark to show the comment as completed turns it into code as in the screen shot. Any ideas??

    Hi tamayo,
    Are you trying to select the option 'Add Checkmark'
    or 'Set Status' as 'Accepted'
    If you try to edit the 'Text box' or 'Text callout' from the comment pane then it converts it into xml code. This is a known issue and a Bug has been logged for the same.
    When you mark the comment status as 'completed' it does not change into xml code.

  • Mpg's turning into .doc when emailed. Help?

    Hi, this is really an odd one. I've sent my song dozens of times in emails with good results, and yet, now, (with no changes in email addy) the mgp leaves me as a song and arrives as a doc! Why?? Thanks for any help. Kate

    Do you always include the extension for the file with the file name - .mpg?
    Do you drag the file from the Finder to the message window, or do you use the Attach option?
    Are you sending the song to a Windows or Mac user?
    If a Windows user, are you using the send Windows friendly attachments option?
    Are you using RTF or Plain Text for message composition?
    Do you include a signature with your sent messages, and if so, is the attachment placed below all message text including a signature if one is used?

  • Why do old video snapshots occur instead of the photo i have took when i take a photo on my Ipad2?

    Basically, whenever i take a picture or a screen shot, the photo turns into an old video snapshot or an old image. The photo is correct in the thumbnail, but when i open it up to full screen, it changes. Help, please!

    Hi,
    Are you using Windows Explorer to view the files?
    If so, load Explorer, go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options.
    Click on the View tab and make sure the first option (Always show icons, never thumbnails) is not checked.
    Click on OK and see if that is any better.

  • I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf.  When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank.  When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content

    I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf.  When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank.  When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols.  What is going wrong?

    You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.
